MISSION AT THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. AFTER the preceding sheet was struck off, we received, by the ship Arab, Capt. Lewis, the journal of this mission down to May 2, 1821, and several letters from different members of the mission. The same day, the arrival of the Globe, Capt. Gardiner, brought to us a continuation of the journal to Nov. 12th, and two additional letters. We shall be unable to insert, in this number, any part of the jour. nal,-which gives a decidedly encouraging view of the mission;-and must content ourselves, and request our readers to be contented till the next month, with extracts from several of the letters. DONATION OF THE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY. Dear Sir, New York, May 3, 1822. I HAVE the pleasure to inform you, that the Managers of the American Bible Sociey, at their meeting yesterday, directed two hundred and fifty Bibles, and two hundred and fifty Testaments to be forwarded to your Board. You will please to accept of these as a donation, to be sent to the Sandwich Islands, for distribution among the mariners frequenting those islands. I think it due to the Managers to state that, in fixing the above as the amount of their donation in compliance with your request, they were influenced by an opinion that the nu merous Marine Bible Societies have done and will do much towards supplying the Holy Scriptures to the seamen of the country, and particularly to those who go on long voyages. I have the honor to be, very respectfully and affectionately, your obedient servant, S. S. WoonHULL, Sec. for Jeremiah Evarts, Esq. ERRATA. IN the Herald for April, p. 97, near the bottom of the second column, instead of "aseribe all the favor to the Lord of missions,' read, "ascribe all to the favor of the Lord of missions." Page 112, top of the first column, for "Hatzebuis Sound," read "Kotzebue's Sound."-In a few copies of our last number, p. 132, for "Caroline Swett," read "Car Br the ship Volunteer, Capt. Bennett of Boston, we sent a joint letter to the Treasurer of the Board, dated Nov. 21, 1820. Since then we have had no opportunity of communicating till the present time. We are now happy to tell you, that the hand of our covenant God is still stretched out for our protec tion, comfort, and usefulness. The king and people, generally continue to be pleased with our object, and appear to be grateful that we have been sent among them. Owing to a na tive dance, which has been held on the island for some months past, our adult scholars have fallen off. Three of our children have left, on account of ill health. There are now somewhat over thirty. Five of these begin to read a little; twenty spell words of two syllables; and the remainder, with one excep. tion, words of one syllable. They can repeat part of the ten commandments, and several select passages of Scripture, in their own language. It is indeed a promising school, and our hopes with respect to the scholars are great. Ten of these children live in our family. The girls we have furnished with one suit of clothes each; but the boys will be in great want of garments, till supplies can be sent us. Should any of our Christian friends wish to name a heathen child and support it in our family, their wishes can be complied with, should they send us cloth, or garments ready made, sufficient for its use, as we are at no expense whatever in providing food. Cloth would be preferred, as our little girls can already sew tolerably well, and we wish them to improve, and be kept from idleness. Of late, we have made some advances in horticulture; and cau have through the year, most of the American vegetables, besides others common to the islands. We have manufactured some sugar, and the greater part of the molasses which we have used since our arrival. Our progress in the language has not been rapid, but such as with perseverance will ensure success. We are blessed with the pri vilege of quietly attending our public and pri vate duties, and have hoped that ere long, the light of the blessed Sabbath, will dawn on this benighted island. Tamoree has assured us of his willingness to keep that sacred day, and that he wishes only for the approbation of Reho-reho. John Honooree is now with us, by whose assistance we are permitted to tell these poor heathen of Christ, and the way of salvation. If we do not wholly mistake the indications of Providence, there are tokens for good to this people; and while we call on our friends and patrons to unite with us in gratitude to our Redeemer, they will not forget, that we need a helper, leader, counsellor,-one, who shall feed us with the bread of life. It is more than six months, since we sat under the sound of the preached Gospel; and it is with the keenest emotions we tell you, that we long, yea, even faint for the courts of our God. Rev. Dr. Worcester. SAMUEL WHITNEY, SAMUEL RUGGLES. OUR prospects of usefulness among this people are, we think, becoming more encourag ing. Truth is producing a silent influence on the minds of some. The station at Kirooah has been left since our last joint letter, the king, with his principal chiefs, having removed to this island. He will probably reside here for some years. The heads of government appear to remain friendly to us. Our schools continue much the same as when we wrote you last, and the progress of the pupils is truly animating. We cannot give you the pleasing intelligence of souls converted to God, but there is a seriousness on the minds of some. George Sandwich arrived in the Paragon, on the 20th of April, in good health. He appears well, and we hope he will do well, and be a faithful assistant. Honooree and Hopoo continue to do well; the latter has done much for the mission. The heart of the king, we are told, is in the hand of the Lord, and we are not without hope, that Reho-reho will some time recover from his dissipated habits. We cannot too deeply feel the importance of praying without ceasing, for his conversion and reformation. The people tell us, "When the king becomes good, we will be good; but if he does bad, then we shall do bad likewise." We EXTRACTS OF A LETTER FROM THOMAS HOPOO TO THE TREASURER. In our last number, we gave extracts from two letters of this young convert from heathenism. We gave his own language,-judging that the mode of expression, which this youth adopted to convey his ideas, would no more be uninteresting, than the ideas themselves. There is a satisfaction in beholding the exact lineaments and workings of a mind, once shackled and degraded by the grossest superstition, but now set free and ennobled by the Gospel. Comparing the two states, we perceive an illustration of the divine saying,-"If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." We see the contrast. The views and feelings, the motives to action and the objects of pursuit, the apprehensions and the hopes, are quite different from those of the former state.-Hopoo may not be a true Christian; but he writes like one, and we trust will be enabled always to feel and act like one. My dear Friend, Woahoo, May 3, 1821. EVER since we left that farored country, every day seems to convince me of the necessity and happiness of a close walk with God. And O, let us be always trusting in God and praying to him; and there is no doubt but he will hear and bless us with heavenly blessings in Christ Jesus our Lord. Permit me to inform you, dear Sir, that we are much pleased with the kindness and benevolence of the king Reho-reho, and the king of Atooi, Tamoree, to the mission family so far. And we still hope that God, who is in glory, will abundantly reward these kings for the good, which they do to us. And may you and we ever be united in our prayers to the God of heaven at the throne of mercy, for the kings Reho-reho and Tamoree; so that they might be brought before the great Jeho vah their Maker. Yea, I need that God would make these men good, that they may turn from their vanities. There is in me a strong hope for the pros pects of usefulness, which open themselves before me. May they cheer and raise your hope still higher, while you are in that Christian, favored land, and fill you with holy gratitude to him, who made the mankind. And 0, may I have grace of the Lord Jesus, in order to improve every hour of my time to the ser |
