Os Fie Missionary Society of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
‘-pit the present time, when the success of
missionary exertions ha3 answered every
objection which the ingenuity of man could
against the cause, it is needless tq say
much in its defence. It is devoutly hoped
that the Missionary Society of the IVletho
(list Episcnpal Church will contribute its full
quota towards accomplishing the grand ob
ject for which the “Saviour came into the
wqrtd. . With a desire to have the ultimate
management of the society under the gen
eral conference, the hoard submitted the
constitution of that body at their last session
in Baltimore, for their sanction. The ob
ject contemplated was to make the Socie
ty exclusively missionary. The gen
eral conference took the subject into con
sideration, and gave the Society tbqir un
qua Ii li ed a ppt oha lion.
The Smith Carolina Conference, “at its
last session, became auxiliary, and likewise
resolved to pn^ 6 weekly cent collections
within the limits of the conference* for the
purpose of sending missionaries among the
Indians and elsewhere. Two Missionaries
were appointed for.the Mississippi, anrd one
tq,travel through the bounds of the confe
rence to promote the general objects of the
Missionary Society, and to make collections
for the instruction of the Indian tribes.—
The following is an extract 1 from a copy of
the instructions furnished the missionary
jfy the superintendents :

er nieahs, the establishment of such mission
or missions.”
One missionary has been sent from the
New York conference, with instructions, if
possible, to preach to the French inhabi
tants of Louisiana : but by information re
ceived from him, it appears he has not yet
had any access to the French; but is
preaching to large and attentive congrega
tions of tbeEnglish inhabitants ofN.Orleans.
Hearing that a mission to the Floridas
was in contemplation, the managers of the
American Bible Society voted a donation
of 100 French Bibles, 50 French Testa
ments, arid 200 Spanish Testaments ;
which were sent to our Missionary, Rev.
E. Brown, for gratuitous distribution, -y
‘* The Domestick Missionary Society of
Boston has become auxiliary to this Society
nrider the litle of “ The New England
Conference Missionary Society of Boston,
auxiliary to the Missionary Society of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.” They also’
acknowledge the existence of a Branch
Society in the town of Lynn, and another in
Boston. “ ’ ■ -j
A society has been formed in Baltimore,
and is called “ The Baltimore Conference
Missionary Society,” &c.
Can we view the providential openings
among the aborigines of this country, their
reception of the Gospel, the conversion of
a number of them, arid their earnest solici
tations for missionary instruction with in
difference .? . Can we hear the univer
sal call from our frontier borders for
missionary aid, without concern ? We
cannot. We rejoice in beholding the open
ing prosperit, and cordially unite to contri
bute our aid in furthering so good a cause
its that of missions.
The managers congratulate the Society
arid the Christian world, on the united and
mighty efforts making in the cause of mis
sions. ‘ May they continue and increase un
til all that‘i sit in darkness shall see a great
light; until all tlesh shall see the salvation
of God.” ’
By iofortnatiori received from Rev. Mar
tin Riite’r, it appears that an auxiliary soci
ety is formed in Cincinnati. These, to
gether with those formed last year, make
the number of auxiliary and branch socie
ties to be sixteen. When we recollect that
this Society has been in existence only twO’
yearS, we shall find abundant cause of grat
itude to God for the success which has at
tended its operations, and for the general
interest excited for its welfare & extension.
the course of the year past, very en
couraging information has been received
respecting the progress of the work of God
among the VVyandotts at Sandusky. A
missionary, under the patronage of the
Ohio conference, is stationed among them;
and through his instrumentality, the work
of reformation so happily begun, hasspread,
and we believe is still spreading.
‘ •-To evangelize these natives of the for
est is one prime object of this society, and
we hope that the time is not far distant
when the songs of redeeming- love shall
echo through their valleys and mountains.
Blessed be God that has in any measure
honoured the Methodists to be instruments
in such grand achievements. It is devout
ly to be hoped that the spirit of our depart
ed founders will not slumber in their suc
cessors. Although the history of Metho
dism, in the four quarters of the world, will
exhibit a success unparalleled by any thing
since the apostolick age, still the work of
reformation is but just commenced. It is,,
indeed, a number of years since the instruc
tion and conversion of the poor Africans in
the West-tndia Islands, ami in these States,
became n subject of deep concern with us ;
and to how many of this class of our fellow
creatures, will the name of Coke and Asbu
ry be dear, as long as the human memory
exists, ami parents hand down to posterity
the events of their own, and of former
times ? It is also a considerable time since
the first attempts were made to carry the
blessings of the “Gospel to the native Afri
cans in their own land. The grand enter
prize in India is of more recent date ; but
not less successful. It is but of yesterday
that the design was formed to evangelize
the numerous and wandering tribes of the
aborigines of our own continent. The de
sign! is worthy of Apostles, and it will re
quite the zeal of Apostles to accomplish it.
This is an important, and may we. not
Says, providential crisis. The peace and
amity existing between the Indian tribe?
and the U. States, the conciliating and fos
tering measures of the national govern
ment, and especially the encouragement
held, out to religious societies touse theic;
exertions to bring them to the knowledge of
the Social arts, and of the principles of

up arid call us brothers.
May we not then entertain the pleasing
conviction that the time has arrived, for a
Star to appear in the west, and direct the
children of the wilderness to Rie Shep

Hindoo /Suicide , by precipitation from Pre
cipices.
Os this form of Superstitious Suicide
among the Hindoos, Mr. Colebrooke thus
speaks in a note to his second essay on their
religious ceremonies, in the 7th Volume of
the Asiatick Researches :
“ Avery singular practice prevails
among the lowest tribes of (he inhabitant 4
ofßerar and Gondwana. Suicide is not
nofrpquently vowed, by such persons, in
return for boons solicited from idols ; and
to fulfil his vow, the successful votary
throws himself from a precipice, named
Calahhairava, situatpdin the mountains be
tween the Tapti and Nermada rivers.—
The annual Fair, held near that spot, at
the beginning of spring, usually witnesses
eight or ten victims of (his superstition.”
At a meeting of the Asiatick Society,held
at Calcutta, on the sth of September, of
last year, the Marquis of Hastings in
the chair, the following account of an in
stance of intended self-immolation of this
nature was communicated by Lierit. R. A.
M’Naughton :
“ Among the many natural curiosities to
be found at Puchmurre is an arched cave,
sacred to Mahadeo. It is about 100 feet ift
length, and 20 in height ; and is a nafnrkj
excavation at the bottom of an immense
solid rock. It is situated in a deep, narrow
dell; and the surrounding rocks are from
150 to 200 feet above the level of the cave.
The floor of this cavity, is covered with
water about knee deep, which is the effect
of a constant dripping from (be roof; hut
for which it is difficult to account, as the
upper surface of the rock is. perfectly dry,
and as there is no waterivisible any where
near it to supply the continual filtering.—
At the further end of the cavern is aqidol,
to which the pilgrims who annually resort
thither in great numbers, pay their devo
tions; bathing themselves at the same time
in the water that drops from the roof.
Another rock, which contributes to
form the dell, is consecrated to Bhowanee,
there,called the wife of Mahadeo. This
rock is devoted to a. purpose similar to that
of Mount Leucate of old, from Which Sap
pho precipitated herself into the sea.—
When n woman has been married for sev
eral years, and is unblessed with offspring,
she pays her devotions to Mahadeo to re
move- her sterility ; and vows to sacrifice
her first bprn child to the god, by throwing
it from the fop of Bhowanee’s rode, which
is about 170 feet perpendicular !
“ Lieut. M’J'fadghton was at Puchniurre
in April last, at the time when the annual
Pilgrimage takes place. A woman had ar
rived there for the purpose of sacrificing
herself in conformity with'the horrid su
perstition just described; and Lieut. HF-
Naugbton, excited by curiosity, proceeded
to the spot to witness the circumstances of
this dreadful ceremony. He was accom
panied hy a Hurkafu, named Kam Sing,
charged by Col. Adams to use every effort
in hjk power* to dissuade the deluded wo
man/rom pptting into execution her fran
tick resolution. - *
“ jVlien- they reached the mck about t
tnileij south- of Pochmurre, the vol
untary. victim was sitting on the ground,
waiting the flsrival of the Brahmin who
was. t<> assist at tfie ceremony. She was of
the R&jpoot Caste, and se.gmed to be about
30 yfears of age. - It appeared that he.- fa
ther and mother were both dead ; and that
r ;- r first clhld ,to Mahuden,-agree-

- ‘ ‘,V
ably to the established, custom ; but, ,an
tire-birth of the child, a daughter, she neg
lected to fulfil her vow. The daughter
grew up, and was married her husband
‘died, and she married again ; her second
husband also died, and being without ’ off
spring, this accumulation of misfortunes
drove her nearly mad. She would dance
and sing all day ; and eat any thing from
any body, by which she lost her, caste, and
became entirely neglected. She at lertgth
felt persuaded, that her jpisforltmes arose
from the circumstance other mother h.-jv—
ing broken her vow ; and therefore she,
determined to immolate herself without loss ‘
of time. * i n, T.
She had seated herself at the foot of the
r<|pk,‘surrounded by those who- h|<ftaj#ipr
panied her from Hurdab, ihe-fdapu £ her
residence ; calmly expecting the arrival of
the Raj Gooroo, or Chief Priest ‘She wa3
perfectly sensible; and had neither ate.
nor drank any or stupifjing
drug, indeed her appearance indicated
perfect; self-possession ; ‘-arid her friends
.positively asserted that nothing of the fiftid
had been ‘administered to her. There w3
a-bottle es common bazar spirits near her,
which they said was to be given to her*-if
she asked for it, but not otherwise. She
heW, in her right hand, a Cocoa-nut; and
in a knife, and a small looidug-glass,
in winch she continued to look, excepting
when she turned her eyes towards heaven,
exclaiming “ I)op Bdiurjee, which sho
did very frequently'.
14 It is evident, that her resolution entire-’
ly originated in her own breast. When
Ram Sing began to dissuade her, she be
came exceedingly angry, and told him ftjfc
his interference was both useless and’ im
proper. He however continued hi- ex
postulations, in which, it is worthy of par
ticulafe'remark, he was heartily joined by
her own people ; who declared’ that they
•had previously used all their endear-u;.-,
to induce her to relinquish her design of
‘destroying herself. One of them, an old
Brahmin, seconded Rara&ging so earnestly
that she threw the cnc6a-nut at his head,
with such violence, .as would have been
productive of serious had
her aim been sure ; but fortunately it er
red, and the nut was broken to pieces
against the stones on which it fell. For
three hours, Ram Sing continued his expos
tulations, and she wasadjil immovable. So
reluctant was shg to aftp§kJ to him. that be
repeatedly, and angrily, ordered the Musi
cians, who were present, to commence
playing, that his voice might not be beard.
M’No tight bn* considering-it'a
hopeless case, returned to camp, leaving
Ratri Sing to do all that he could to delay
the threatened sacrifice. In a Jew hour- af
terwards, his servants brought him intelli
gence; that Ram Sing had; succeeded, and
was bringing the woman into camp. On
ascending the fatal rock’ from which she
was to precipitate herself; she had fainted
away, from exhaustion both’ of body and
mind, and continued senseless for nearly
two hours. On she cried bit
terly, and appeared to hesitate. Every
one present seized the favourable opportu
nity, and implored her to abandon her re
solution; and, what was still more effectu- ■
‘lit if, the Raj Gooroo told her, that she bad
Mahadeo’s forgiveness!
“Soon after her arrival in camp, sha
was sent off to Hurdah; provided by Jpol.
Adams, with money, to .defray her expenses
o§ the road, and a Letter to the Soubadar
of the province, (who had; in the first in
stance, laudably endeavoured to dissuade
her, from her parpose,) to see that she 6ufc v .
sered no indignity or wrong, in consequence
of haying abandoned her resolution.”
