Death ofNrs. Jmlson in IndiG.

ton, from Calcutta, Capt. Titcomb, 1Ol
 days from Sand Heads, we have the dis ] tressing intelligence of the death of Mrs.
 Judson. The Rev. M. Yates, of English ! Baptist Mission at Calcutta, who came
 passenger in the Mars, is the bearer of
 letters giving this information. He is on
 visit to our shores for the recovery of his
 health much impaired by repeated attacks
 of fever.
 The following is an extract of letter to
 lady in Boston, from Mrs. Wade, now in Rangoon with Mir. Wade, both of the American Mission to BurmAh. RANGooN, Nov. IA, 1926. Wy Uery dear Mrs. S.-Our last letters informed you that we were sailing for Am l herst by way of Rangoon where we arrived on the 9th of this month, after long, and
 in some respects very unpleasant passage. From letter which received from Mrs.
 Jndson just before we left Bengal, we | learned that she was n,nch pleased with
 the new station, and the prospect of
 hene for life. We were unusually cheer- ] ful and happy during our voyage, in the prospect of finding at last little peaceful
 spot, where we might devote our few re-
 maining days more directly to the great object flor which we came to this
 country. But when we reached Rangoon
 almost the first intelligence is ****#"***""
 *****Oh, how shall I tell you my dear
 sister that our dear Mrs. Judson is no
 more !!-that she died in strange place, l far, far, from all those who would have felt 1 it their greatest consolation to have
 watched her sickness. I feel my heart too deeply affected by this dark dispensa-
 ton to dwell upon the irreparable loss we have sustained but your afectionate
 heart will suggest all. The melancholy
 intelligence has been sent to Dr. Judson,
 at Ava: but it is not probable that he will
 be able to return in month. My heart
 bleeds to think what he will suffer. But
 why should I indulge so excessive grief, or
 be unreconciled to the will of God2 Tru- ly her worth demands our tears i: but the great Head of the Church can accomplish his wise designs without the aid of mortals and I we'll know, that though He should call aU his most valuable and devoted ser wants home, yet He will spread his glorious gospel through all the nations of this fallen. world. We very deeply regret that we had not been at Amherst from the time of Dr.. Judson's departure for Ava :; but we followed his advice, in waiting in Bengal until he should visit Amherst the second time. After we received his letter, advis- ing us to proceed to Amherst, we sailed in the first ship, with the exception of one which was not considered safe, and which was indeed lost on her wap to Rangoon. All the particulars we have been able to obtain here, are that our dear Sister was i'll of a slow fever about month, and died on the 24th or 18th of October.
 She received every kind attention from a skilful Physician, and enjoyed the society of two European ladies, one of whom has the care of her little daughter at present. The Physician says, that long before he thought her case at all a. farming, he could not prevail upon her to think she should recover and that she l was constantly talking about death. We expect to proceed to Amherst in few days 1 when | hope to be able to give more par ticulars but we find it so very difficult and ! expensive to get passage, but we intend | to proceed in very small vessel, we fear 1 "AAA AAos M ONAS " PAOeCSt uo uOLA SHC prates, who have been very troublesome l here oflate. But duty appears plain, and l after we have taken every prudent pre- caution for our safety, should we fear that He who has preserved us by what seemed l a miracle, will now forsake us No, my sister, we do not fear, because we know that the great Shepherd of Israel never. siumbers or sleeps, and that our lives are the care of kind, unerring Providence. l We also know, by happy experience, that our Heavenly Father can support and cheer us in great extremities: and if he should by any Providence see fit to call us home.-Oh how will that soul be, when It shall like our departed sister, have ex- changed this " vale of tears'' for the pure ]oys which proceed from the throne of
 Uod and the Lamb. I have been enabled 10 anticipate those joys with particular de- l'gnt since our late affective bereavement;
 end ardently desire that all may be sancti- ned to prepare me for the duties of life.-
 Sister Boardman has, no doubt, informed
 you of the circumstances which prevented
 'heir sailing from Bengal ; and after living
 SO happily with them for ten months, you
 will not be surprised to hear me say that
