school, and at other times to labor about the house, as circumstances may require; at the French Camps, a good, energetic, faithful man to labor on the farm; at the Six Towns two or three laboring men, to aid Mr. Jewell, in getting that establishment in operation.

It is desirable that all these persons should be faithful, humble servants of Christ, willing to devote their whole strength to his cause.

Thus will they have great enjoyment in their work, and be able to do much for the heathen.

West Indies:-ANTIGUA.

Extracts from Mr. Hyde's Journal.

February 15, 1821. I have been preaching at Betty's Hope, an estate belonging to Sir C. Codrington. The people were deeply attentive. The manager behaved with great politeness when I called upon him, wished me great encouragement, and good success. He told me that Mr. Baxter used to preach on the estate, and several of the first Missionaries; and added, "Most of the slaves on this estate are in your society, I believe; and I am happy to say, that they are very exemplary. A very great change," he further observed, "has taken place in their conduct since they began to think for themselves, and to act from religious principle. We scarcely ever use the whip now,' "said he, "not once in a quarter. It is not needful!" This is cause for gratitude, and encouragement to labor in this good work.

March 9. Went this evening on Casmajor's estate; and as I had not been there be fore, I went first to see the manager, who received me with great kindness, and bore an excellent testimony to the effects of religion amongst his people, the greater part of whom are members of our society. He observed, "The sound of the whip is rarely heard on the estate, and we have very few offences. Of course they get a little out of the way at times, but I do not think there is a better gang of negroes in the country." " Then you think, said I, crimes have considerably decreased amongst them? "I am sure of it," he replied. "We need only look at the old journals on the estate, and compare them with the present ones, which I and my lady were doing not long ago, when we discovered amongst other things, that the number of runaways generally amounted to five or six a week, but now such a thing rarely occurs. In fact, we have had but one instance since I have been on the estate, which is about five years, and that was a foolish little girl who did not know what she was doing." 1, of course, was much pleased, and went with additional spirit to visit the sick; and preach to the people on the nature, necessity, importance, and blessedness of regeneration. I then gave tickets, and settled two disputes; one between an adult negro and his aunt. He, it

er had not been there long, before she was falsely charged with some other offence; but God was with her. Her language appears to have been, "Though thou slay me, yet will I trust in thee." God's grace was sufficient for her; and in due time he appeared in her behalf. The charge was proved false. Her conduct secured the love and confidence of her new mistress; and at length the Lord dis

appears, from some offence, had lately passed | by her without speaking, but "his heart tell him dat no right before God;" and, with tears running down his cheeks, he confessed bis unhappiness, and wished to be made friends. I called for his aunt,--talked to both,-they shook hands, and departed perfectly at peace. The other case was a negro young man, who had quarrelled with the young woman he had engaged to marry, and was now resolved, al-posed the heart of her mistress to make her though the banns had been published, to leave her. I told him he must not; and gave him and her suitable advice. He, however, seemed determined not to comply with what I stated to be right. At last I said, "Well, || then, you must now take your own way." At this he started; and in a moment replied, "No, Massa, no! Me no take my own way. My way no good: me take yours."

and her daughter free. She has now return. ed in credit to the place from which she was exiled: she is happy in the love of God, and comfortable in ber circumstances. The blessing of the Lord seems to rest upon the family. Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!

GRENADA.

MR. Goy has commenced his labors on the windward side of this island, among the people of some estates, which have been kindly opened to him by B. Hewiston, Esq. and others. He writes, April 12, 1821:

April 1. Preached at Parham. persons were afterwards admitted on trial. Two unbaptised were of the number. One of them was brought away when he was but a child; the other had reached manhood. I asked the latter, during his examination, if ever he heard any thing of Mahomet in his own country?" to which he answered "Yes, Massa." Did you ever pray to him? "Yes." I asked him why he now prayed to Jesus instead of Mahomet? Why he loved him more, and why he wished now to serve Jesus, and to come amongst God's people? He replied,ably kind; and 1 believe there are many truly "Why, Massa, because me believe that Jesus be God!"

April 2. On my way home this evening, from St. John's, a gentleman related to me the following instance of God's care for his people, and of the disposals of his sovereign will for their good, when every trace of his operations appears lost:-A female domestic slave, in a very respectable situation, some years ago was awakened under the ministry of a Methodist missionary. She fell into deep distress,tore off her necklaces, rings, and other gaudy decorations, and with all her soul forsook her sins, calling for mercy in the name of the Lord Jesus. She sought God with all her heart; and, ever faithful to his promise, he was found of her. Her manner of life was now altered, and, to the carnal mind, gave offence: hatred, ridicule, and suffering became her portion. On one occasion she was charged with the crime of having a certain key in her pocket, (with which she had always been entrusted,) at the chapel, when it was wanted, and was immediately put down and flogged for it. It was the first time that the whip had been put upon her. It wounded her soul; she felt it keenly, and grieved over it: her daughter participating in her sorrow. They were now charged with the spirit of rebellion for daring to grieve, and the mother was doomed to the field. The gang, struck with astonishment at seeing her brought there, rested on their hoes to gaze at her. This was immediately called a signal for rebellion; and a certain person rode off, full gallop, to town, to inform the proprietor, who immediately sent out an order for the two rebels, (the poor mother and daughter,) to be sent to town in heavy chains. The order was executed, and they were sent from the island to Santa Cruz, and sold. The afflicted moth.

"Having spent nearly three years in St. George's, I felt attached to the people, and a little regret at being removed, though I hope still to exchange with one of the brethren on every sixth Sunday. The society is remark

pious characters among them. In looking
back to the period when I landed on this
island, and contemplating all the circumstances
through which we have passed since that
time, I can evidently trace the footsteps of
divine providence, and have great reason to
believe, that our labor has not been in vain.
Then we had but a small place in which to
assemble, and that liable to be upset by every
gust of wind from the mountains; now we have
a large and commodious chapel,-
-a chapel in
which generations yet unborn may celebrate
the praises of the Most High. Many at that
time were exceedingly prejudiced against us.
Our sincerity was doubted; but now, (I had
almost said, woe unto us! for all men speak
well of us,) the cloud is dispersed, and almost
every facility which the country can allow is
afforded us. And what is the best of all, many
who were in darkness and sin, are now the
happy partakers of the light of life. Even
in the country, although our sanguine wishes
have not been fully realized, yet we have
cause to be thankful, and believe that good
has been done. The brethren in St. George's
now visit eleven estates, besides the village of
Gougave, and once a quarter the isle Rhonde.

The ride across the mountains to the parish of St. Andrew, where I now am, is delightfully picturesque and romantic. The craggy rock-the frightful precipice--the cloud-capt mountain-the tall aspiring palmetto and mountain-cabbage-the almost impenetrable brush wood-all stand as mementos of Him who gave them being, and exalt the mind to him as their great original. A road is cut through the mountain, which, in the dry season, is very good: but for half the year bad, and often impassable, At the highest elevation is a large lake, (Grand Etang,) nearly a mile across, and 3,500 feet
