To believe that God believes in
missions, we have only to study the
history of those who have led the
world in that work which so well il
lustrates the spirit of our missionary
Savior.
When the Creator has something
to be accomplished, we may be sure
he has a workman fitted for the task;
and it need not surprise us that God
chose a cobbler to arouse the Chris
tian world to its duty. Long ago a
wise old prophet said to the father of
David: “Man looketh at the out
ward appearance but the Lord look
eth at the heart,” and that great
heart of William Carey beat from his
boyhood with the noblest purpose.
A spirit so elastic that from each
new obstacle it rebounded with fresh
vigor, was united to a marvellous
persistence which knew not how to
yield. What he said of himself in
later years was true of the boy—“l
can persevere in any definite pursuit;
to this I owe everything. If one give
me credit for being a plodder, he
will do me justice.”
He was more. An ardent student
of nature, he filled his garden and
little room with loving plants, and
birds, and insects, yet at his shoe
makers bench found time to master
much of Greek, Latin and Hebrew.
There, the call came. He heard,
and with great humility of soul be
gan preaching. He had been a
churchman, had scoffed at dissenters;
but conscience, always with him a
living one, made him investigate and
with only his Bible to answer his
questioning he became a Baptist.
The words of the great commission
rang in his ears, lingered in his heart,
and he constantly urged sending the
gospel to the heathen.
The brethren held back awe
struck. Said Ryland: “When God
pleases to convert the heathen, he
will do it without your aid or mine.”
Even Fuller hesitated, yet Carey
never ceased his pleading and in
May 1792 preached that remarkable
sermon to which men listened with
thrilled hearts, and convinced by his
agonized pleading, twelve earnest
men met at Kettering and organized
the first missionary society of mod
ern times. When contributions were
offered, Carey gave himself.
Serious difficulties blocked the
way. The little society was too
poor to stand alone, and ministers
held aloof, arguing that Christianity
would neither refine the morals nor
ensure the happiness of the heathen.
God’s providences pointed to India
as the open door, but when, at last,
means were obtained, the East
India ships refused them passage.
A Damish vessel was engaged, and
Carey, with his family and Mr.
Thomas, a ship-surgeon who had
preached to the Hindoos, sailed in
June 1793, and five months later,
landed in Calcutta. The East India
officials gave them cold reception and
perplexing difficulties arose for want
of means until God raised up a friend
who offered them charge of an Indi,
go factory. Carey accepted, hoping
thus to be self-supporting while
learning the language. This step
the society severely criticised. Carey
replied: “It is a constant maxim
with me that if my conduct will not
vindicate itself, it is not worth vindi
cating. I only say that after my
family’s obtaining a bare allowance
my whole income goes for the pur
poses of the Gospel. lam poor and
shall be so until the Bible is printed
in Bengali and Hindustani.” His
leisure hours were so improved that
he was soon able to begin translat
ing the Bible and to preach in Ben
gali among the two-hundred villages
of his district. Hundreds came to
hear, yet it was rocky ground.
Said the Hindoos : “The Ganges
can wash from iniquity, what need of
the blood of Christ?” The Brah
mins, whose words were sacred, de
clared God the author* of sin and
crime was excused on that ground.
“How would you petition the Govern
or for a pardon ?” asked Carey of
one who enquired how to pray. “I
would look very sorrowful and tell a
great many lies to excuse myself”
was the answer. “Yet, said Carey,
the promise of God cannot fail. May
I but be useful in laying the founda
tion of the Church of Christ in India,
I desire no greater reward.”
Troubles deepened. A dear child
died. Himself prostrated with fever,
Carey recovered to find his wife’s
mind hopelessly gone. She required
constant restraint until her death.
Letter from England came then as
cold water to a thirsty soul: Ftiller’s
strong; helpful words, doing good
like medicine.
Thus seven years passed, hearts
were gladdened by the arrival of
more laborers; among them the de
voted Marshman and Ward. Land
ing at Serampore, they were soon
joined by Carey who decided to re
move and unite with them making a
family of ten adults and nine chil
dren, whose expenses were little
more ’than SSOO annually. Five dol
lars a month was allowed for per
sonal expenses, all over, going to the
mission. “We must cherish, said
they, an awful sense of the value of
souls; seek to gain a thorough
knowledge of those for whom we
labor; make Christ the staple of our
preaching, since his love alone can
win; finally, let us give ourselves
unreservedly to this glorious cause.
Let us never think our time, our
gifts, our strength, our families, or
even the clothes we wear are our
own; let us santify them all to God
and his cause.”
The first year at Serampore bore
fruit. A printing press was set up
to work, two boarding schools estab
lished, but better than all was the
conversion of Krishnu Pal and oth
ers, who with Felix Carey was bap
tized in the Ganges. Missionary
Thomas, wild with joy, could not be
allowed to witness the baptism and
his shouts were heard even at the
river side. Krishnu Pal’s heart over
flowed in that hymn of praise begin
ning:
“O thou my soul forget no more,
The Friend who all thy misery bore.”
With untold labor and self-denials
the New Testament was printed by
the close of year. Carrying the first
copy to the church, Carey reverently
laid it upon the communion table
while they offered special thanks to
God.
Said Fuller: “It is worthy of no
tice that the time when the Lord be
gan to bless his servants, is that in
which his holy word began to be
published.”
Carey was already using his gift
as linguist to God’s glory, and dur
ing the thirty years that followed he
translated the Bible into forty differ
ent tongues, 212,000 volumes being
issued from the mission press.
Lord Wellesley appointed him teach
er of Bengali, Sanskrit and Mahratta
in Fort William College, at a salary
of £1,500; and before government
officials “plumed and jeweled” native
princes the humble missionary was
called to speak in Sanskrit, the first
European thus honored. To gain
means for the support of another
mission, he translated and published
the Sanskrit epics, Ramayanna and
Mahabharata.
The hostility of the East India
Company increased ; the new gov
ernor desired the missionaries to de.
sist from preaching or distributing
tracts, and forbade the converted
natives going into the country to
spread Christianity. “No Christian
government that I know, said Carey,
has ever prohibited attempts to
spread the Gospel among the heath
en,” and weeping like a child he call
ed a council for prayer. Then they
decided to wait upon Lord Minto
and explain their aims and work.
The conference was satisfactory;
the restrictions removed, and they
joyfully set apart a day of thanks
giving.
Meanwhile they were assailed by
doubters and critics at home. Ig
norance, avarice, and wit, joined in
the attack.
“The missionaries, said ono writer,
are illiterate, ignorant enthusiasts.”
Another urged’ “If India be deem
ed worth preserving (for commerce)
we should endeavor to regain the
confidence of the people by the im
mediate recall of every missionary.”
The witty tongue of the Rev. (?)
Sydney Smith darted a sting at them.
“If a tinker is a devout man,” said
he, “ho infallibly sets off for the
East,” then congratulating himself
on “routing out a nest of consecrated
cobblers” he classed them as “vir
min that ought to be caught, cracked
and extirpated.”
Southey nobly defending them
said: “These ‘low-born’ ‘low-bred’
mechanics have translated the whole
Bible into Bengali and printed it—
the New Testament into eleven oth
er tongues. Only fourteen years
have elapsed since Thomas and
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, J UNE 23. 1892.
Carey set foot in India *, in that time
they have done more towards spread
ing the Gospel among the heathens
than has been accomplished by all
the world besides. From government
all that is asked is toleration for
themselves and protection for their
converts.” That protection was soon
after secured.
In 1809 after a fearful illness
Carey renewed his pleading for more
laborers. “Hindoostan, said he, re
quires 10,000 ; China as many, should
not this be a matter of special pray
er?” Then to prepare the way, he
published a Bengali dictionary and
grammars of various languages.
Fullers death occurred about this
time. Faithfully he had “held' the
ropes,” and lived to see the success
of the missions ';'7oo native converts;
10,000 children in the schools; the
Bible then translated into twenty
seven languages. “Truly, wrote he to
Carey, the spark which God stirred
you up to strike has kindled a great
fire.” In Careys heart the fire still
glowed, and he went on his work, es
tablishing a college for the educa
tion of native preachers ; organizing
an agricultural society; a savings
bank, and by persistent praying and
pleading doing more than any other
to abolish Suttee. In half a century
7 0,000 widows had thus been burn*
ed alive and until Carey came scarce
ly a voice was raised in protest.
Yet the home society grew more
exacting, accused the missionaries of
living in “Oriental pomp, and amass
ing property.” Carey was ever too
busy in the Lord’s work to resent the
unjust accusations ; his simple reply
was : “I have had large possessions
but devoted all except what I ate
and drank and wore, to the cause of
missions. Dr. Marshman has done
the same ; so did Ward.”
This amazing truth is now proven
to the world, those three families
gave to that mission in the forty
one years of Carey’s work $400,-
000 ; all the while living in almost
primitive symplicity.
In the 7 3rd, year of his age Carey
laid down his life work. His illness
was short. At the last he said with
characteristic humility: “When lam
gone, say nothing about Dr. Carey;
speak about Dr. Carey’s Savior.”
For his tomb, he dictated this in
scription only:
William Carey,
Born August 17, 1761.
Died June 9, 1834.
**A wretched, poor, and helploss worm
On thy kind arms I fa 11,.”
But this lesson of his consecrated
life is inscribed on many hearts.
The best for the Master.

THE PSINOIPLES OF CANNING
FOOD.
The destruction of germs, and the
exclusion of air, are the principles
upon which the canning of food is
based, writes Maria Parloa in a sea
sonable article on “The Canning of
Fruits and Vegetables,” in the June
Ladies’ Home Journal. If these
things be properly done, no preserv
ative need be added, except to give
a flavor. Some substances require
long exposure to a high tempereture
before all the germs are destroyed,
while others need only to be heated
to the boiling point, and then be
boiled for. a minute or two. Nearly
all small fruits are. easily preserved
by thoroughly heating, and then can
ning. The larger kinds require a
longer time for the heat to penetrate
every part. Some vegetables, such
as peas, beans, corn, etc., require a
long exposure to a high temperature.
Meats are still more difficult to keep,
and it is the practice to add a chemi
cal to the water in which the cans
stand that the temperature may be
raised to a degree even higher than
that of boiling water.
The essential things in canning
fruit art to have the jars and covers
hot, and the fruit boiling hot. The
jars, also, should stand perfectly lev
el ; fill them with fruit and juice,
passing a silver knife , between the
can and the fruit that all the spaces
may be filled with the juice. Now
pour in syrup until it runs over the
top of the jar ; seal at once. When
the jars are cold, set them in a cool,
dry, dark place. Fruit is always
better flavored when sugar is put
with it; the amount is a matter of
taste.
To preserve fruit syrups prepare
the fruit as for jellies. Strain the
juice and put on to boil. To each
pint of juice add half a pound of su
gar ; boil for fifteen minutes, stirring
well, bottle and seal w hile boiling
hot.
i
MAKING A FEATHER DUSTER.
Select the finest of turkey feath
ers, using those from the tail. A
handle from an old duster is best,
but one that will do nicely can be
found that has served as a handle to
a soup ladle, or vegetable spoon, as
they are of wood, nicely painted
black. Have ready some nice thick
paste. Place a row of feathers
around the the handle, tie
with cord, and smear with paste;
then add another row of feathers,
keeping the feather ends even, and
wind and paste as before. When a
suitable size is obtained for the dus
ter finish off with a few rows of the
finer, softer feathers from the body
of the turkey, and trim the quill ends
evenly with a sharp knife. The
quills and paste are to be covered
with a bit of bright colored leather,
taken from the inside of an old shoe
or boot, if not too much worn. Cut
the leather in sections, flaring them
to fit around the part nicely; sew to
gether and slip over the handle. The
larger end may be notched fancifully,
and the other end fastened in place
by a few small tacks. If desired, a
bit of gimp and some tiny brass nails
will finish it exactly like the bought
ones. One of these makes a nice
hearth brush, and, with a small fancy
dustpan, will be found convenient
hung near the stove, especially if
wood is burned, as there is always
more or less litter from buildiug
fires. A much 'softer duster is made
in like manner, using the longest of
the fluffy feathers found on the un
der side of the turkey.—American

BEWARE OF LITTLE SINS.
In his garden, in Vermont, the
writer had growing a large and flour
ishing apple tree. How long it had
stood there he could not tell, proba
bly ten years. Many a severe storm
had beaten against it; the biting cold
of many winters had assailed it, but,
in spite of wind and frost, the tree
stood as firm and unharmed as ever.
With the return of every spring ap
peared the leaves and blossoms;
when autumn came the branches
were freighted with an abundance of
rosy fruit. But two winters ago,
when a great depth of snow lay upon
the ground, mice found their way to
the tree, and nibbling away silently
and unseen, stripped the bark to a
height of three feet from the ground.
What the result was one can easily
imagine. With the coming of spring
no more leaves or blossoms appeared,
for the tree was dead. Soon it had
to be cut down as an encumbrance
to the ground. What the severe
storms of many winters failed to do,
those tiny vermin succeeded in doing
within a short time—sapping the life
of that once flourishing tree.
In this story there is a moral for
tho young. It teaches the destruc
tive power of little sins. When some
great temptation meets a person; as a
rule he will brace himself against it;
he will fight the evil with all the
power at his command. The same is
not true, however, of our dealings
with the little evils. These are so
small, so trivial, that we pay but lit
tle attention to them. And yet these
little sinful acts do more mischief
than the greater. By their silent,
subtle character they often succeed
in working untold harm. A boy
tells a lie now and then, thinking
nothing of it; blit the repetition of
that act will in time make him a con
firmed liar, in whose word no one
will have confidence. Occasionally
he may utter an oath, thinking little
of what he says; but if he persists in
doing so, he will become a foul
mouthed swearer, whose every other
word will be a curse, Oh, remember,
that little sins cherished or persisted
in are sure to lead to sad and terrible
results.
A short time ago an incident came
under my notice illustrating forcibly
this thought. The pilot of a ferry
boat was observed one day, by the
superintendent, taking two bricks
from the company’s yard. A watch
was placed over him, when it was
discovered that he repeated the
same act every day. At last, he was
arrested on the charge of stealing ;
and when his house was searched,
there was found in his cellar a large
pile of bricks which he had in this
small way stolen from his employers.
Os course, the man was brought to
trial, receiving a sentence of several
year’s imprisonment.
From what has been said, it is
clear that to maintain our integrity,
we must needs shun the very appear
ance of evil. To build up a noble
character and preserve the same in
tact; to gain the respect of their fel
lows and win the approval of God,
the young need to put in constant
practice the advice of the great apos
tle, “Abhor that which is evil.”—

"GO TO CHRIST."
A touching story is told of a wo
man in Turkey, who in her distress
about her soul had gone to a native
teacher, in the absence of the mis
sionary, asking him to help her. He
had answered her almost impatiently.
“I cannot help you. Go to Christ!”
She did not know who Christ was,
but she went where she could be
alone, and prayed. “Oh, Christ, I do
not know who you are, but whoever
you are, will you not help me ?” And
this she did until he did help her.
Thank God, boys and girls have
many to teach them who Christ is
and how we may go to him. Jesus
himself invites them in tenderest
tones,' saying, “Suffer the little chil
dren to ooms unto me, and forbid
them not; for of such is the king
dom of God.” ’
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed conditon of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed codition of the mu
cous sufaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
