The pesker feared that the profession Of Christiany

N. Hindoo. the work Of conversion would pro-
oress but very slowly. In Burmah they do not en-
counter bee da zbacks and the work goes bravey
In Assam they had three missionary stations sad three
little churches formed and large portion Of the New
Testament togeth ar with mary good books, had been
translated But the work was sadly hndered BY the
reduction in the number of missionaries Eight years
ago they had eight missionary families in Assam, but
one after another have died until there il on
eft ard of thirteen native missionaries there only
two beside four copOrteurs. II has come to this
point Either retnforcements must be sent out. or else
the results of twenty years labor lott. This Mr.
Bronson thought Christians would not stand by aud
permit lie felt assured that the Lord would raise up
friend. to help on his in India. In regard to the
muiny the preacher said that the orgnators of ii are
unknown. The signal for the uprising Of the people
was a little cake. messenger with twelve little
cakes appeared at village, and every one who took
cake pledged himself by that act not only to fight
himself but to make and distribute twelve other cakes
the recipients Of which would do likewise. In this
way the signal fires of rebellion lighted though
out India MIR. Bronson believed that the mutiny orig
mated in British misre, but he thought that it would
result benefcially The Government had heretofore
fostered caste; only OF high caste could enter
the army or be eligible to any Office under Government.
In this way the middle and lower castles were excluded
from all places Of trust and Of honor. While pro-
Tossing TO be Christian, too, the Government
natives. A few years agoa Sepoy at Meeru embraced
Christianity and the Government fearing that his con-
version would lead to disaffection and mutiny among
the other Sepoys, dismissed him in disgrace. AZ if in
Judgment upon that infamous act the mutiny made it,
fret appearance in that very place. In Assam letters
from Nena Sahib and other leaders intercepted IN
the Post Office aud it discovered that in fifteen
days Assam would revolt. There was not soldier IN
the province. The Europeans at once sent of to Cal
cuta for assistance but the Government sent up onya
email steamer mounting two guns and carrying one
hundred seamep. The young King of Assam wss ar
rested and taken to Calcutta, and the outbreak in the
Province suppressed. Affairs, however, were in very
unaottcd condition there. During the revolt twelve
missionaries and their families had fallen in India, and
600 worth Of missionary property been destroyed
Since the dsbsDding Of the Sepoy regiments the Gov
eruIne Mt has been filling them up from the Inferior
castes and thus great step in the way of the over
throw Of caste altogether had he thought, been made
He feared that in the future the Government, on ac-
count Of the horrible atrocities committed by tho
Sepoys would rule the country with rol of iron. He
hoped for the overthrow of caste. that would enable
the missionaries to prosecute Their abors avan-
tageously to the people. In conclusion. Mr. Bronson
argued the necessity Of immediate action for the re-
eusctation OF the missonary work in India.
