In conversation with one of the MIS-

by consistent life. and afterwards died in
the full enjoyment OF gospel hopes.
A lew years ago, and the whole popu-
lation of those islands were in the grave
of moral death. They were left to per-
.ish. Multitudes before them had thus
persisted, while none cared for their souls.
The sympathy OF the Christian world was
awakened in their behalf. The grave IN
which they were buried was opened, and
the dying were brought out. MultitEdes
thus miserably perishing have been rails
ed 10 neMness of life, fitted for usefulness
here, and for immortal glory with God.
" IS well to have one spot in the midst
of The heather world to which we may
look for a living example of what the COS
pei way do for fallen man. 1t requires
no love for the cross to compel admiration
of the missionary spirit. If the gospel

more, it is worthy of universal diffusion

for the Sandwich Islands, we cannot learn
from the most labored details of those who
have been eye-witnesses of the wonderful
works of God on those shores. We must
ourselves have seen those islands and the
wretchedness in which they lay, when
the missionaries first visited them, and by
actual contrast atlemt to.forma conception
Of the subsequent change. Such facts as
the one that suggested these remarks, give
US the cIearest idea of what heathenism is
and what the Bible has done to scatter lis
darkness and Danish its horrors.
Millions of the heather world are still
as degraded as the poor mother who burr
ed hel living infant. The same gospel is
able to do for them what it did for tina
child. 1t may take them from the dark
grave of paganism, and form them 10 bt
