MSS MARY E. WRIGHT, - • • Editre ss WILLIAM CAREY. 2® ■ A goPyMOw nK 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. Mrs. H. C.

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 Agriculturist.

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.”— Reaper.

"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.
