the past exertions of the church for that part of India have not been in vain, and partly to exhibit the adaptation of native labourers to the work of the gospel among their countrymen. Praying for the blessing of the Holy One of Israel, that it may rest upon all scriptural efforts for the diffusion of the gospel of the blessed Jesus in heathen lands, we commit this work to his care. London, November 14th, 1827. |
