THE DANISH MISSION.

CONTAINING A BRIEF SKETCH CT
THE DANISH MISSION.
The first Protestant Mission in India was
founded by Bartholomew ziegenbslg, under
the auspices of Frederic " king of Des
mark The seat of the mission was fixed
at Tranquebsr,s Danish settlement on the
Coromandel coast, in the south eastern psrl
of Hindostsn. 2egenbalg was educated al
the university of Halle in Germany H.
sailed for India with his assistant, John
Ernest Grundier, in 1905 and arrived al
Tranquebar in July l706 In Angus, 1907
he consecrsIed a house which they had
erected for the public worship of God The
same year he baptized the frat heather, &
established Christian church among the
H,ndoos. At his entrance OH the mission
he commenced transls'ios of the Scrip.
lures into the Tsmul, the vernacular Ian
guage of CoromsAdel, which he lived Just
long enough 10 complete.
The king of Denmark early settled on the
Missionaries 1000 crowns a year, and Of en-
doubled that sum by extraordinary presents
Germany also furnished large contributions.
Professor Frsncke of Halle, and The Or.
phsn.House established by him, made liber
vi aud constant remiltances. Blu the great
est pecuniary sid came from England From
the year 1909, the Society for promoting
Christian Knowledge extended very lber.
III patronage TO the missionaries, furnishing
them with printing press, and other mate
rails for printing with books also and
money. The sum sent from England az
17l5 amounted TO 1894! sterling.
The Tsmul New Testament was printed
in IVA. The same yesr ziegenbsg visited
Euorpe, and was encouraged 10 his work
by George the First Of England and by The
Society for promoting Christian knowledge.
In The year us, the king of Denmark e.
rected a College at Copenhagen for the
support and extentlon of Ike mission. In
ls.9, al er the labor of fourteen years, Zeig.
enbalg completed the Tamul d Bile i; and
having finished his work, went To rest in
February of The same year. Grundler sur
vved him about twelve months
In tie course OF a century from the com.
mencement OF the mission, these eminent
servants ofGod were followed by more han
iifty others, all educated in the universities
o. Germany, ard all. Ike themselves, Of he
Lutheran church.
The Society for promoting Christian
Knowledge not only iostered the Mission AT

I'd a new mission at Madras, or rather

continued to up OFT .wo miss onar,es, and
