skirmish sh with materials I 1 manufactured in all quarters of the globe where the sound of mormonism Mor has gone and one of them having the services of an apostate elder as a reporter he helps wit olt what is lacking lackin gr to keep tile the public informed and us lively whilst we can scarcely caly get an ins insertion artion by way of defence I 1 i our principal operations in bombay fr fir the I 1 present are confined to visiting from house to house those of all grades without respect of persons p esons making makina our oar own introduction by means of a tract of 20 pages which I 1 have published p in reply to the reprint by a rev dr here of an english production against the saints by this thia means we get to know all the people what they think of us and also what we can think I 1 of thern them or expect of them and I 1 must say that our common lot is ii either the european aristocratic sneer or that cold formal oriental ism so characteristic of the country if we speak of the humble class of the natives of india they cannot understand a mans doctrine who ames 6 to them without purse or p if he has no bribe to offer he has no message for them of course we have our sectarian sors greatly to thank for this pra practice ettee and still we feel for the poor fellows many instances have come under my own observation in which the parties would have gladly received the gospel but the certain result of being cast out from friends and fathers I 1 house without any resources reso to fall back upon seemed to be too much for them one great obstacle which stands standa in the way in shifting for themselves is ia their old past prejudices handed down from time immemorial that very every e caste I 1 must follow his peculiar occupation feeling themselves entirely helpless and often very much insulted by the intimation of doing any other thing this with wilh their wretched immorality and numerous other eccentricities only to be known by migrating amongst them ahem make it a tardy and almost hopeless work to make anything of them amongst the better or upper class s whatever their form of religion may mav be it is is made anade subservient to pr present besent interests te rests the idea of them receiving by immediate revelation in a message from god clod for their implicit obedience is of any thing from their the old sectarian song prevails with them that every man should nurse his own religion and the great Bra braham liam sayi say i the hindmo ahe great spirit says the passee and mahomet says the Mus salman will be merciful to us all at last they have their reward and seem to be satisfied with it in the consideration of those things we feel that india will have to learn her lesions les ons under th rod ere great thing thin may be expected of her and one consolation stands prominent that the ard will out his work short in righteousness in these days it is this that bucys up p the spirit when we would I 1 be east cast down the right wing of the first bombay R regiment ciment have been removed from this to aden in arabia taking the majority of or our bombay branch with them amongst whom aie are an elder and priest armed with books and tracts I 1 to continue their exertions there to roll along the little stone I 1 purpose soon to go up to Kur rachee in the country I 1 only wait fora for a reply fromel frommel i der jones president of the Hin Hind doostan ostap mission n whether hether he can spare me one out of his hia forces and if not I 1 go it single handed banded again it seems almost like spending labor for nought upon this f island for the present indeed I 1 feel at easi ease though the any 0 of f the lord should come ere I 1 meet them again they all know me I 1 and they all know about mormonism ism and I 1 know better than any man under the heavens how they have treated both im the best prepared of any other man to square accounts with them any day still notwithstanding all this it is their salvation I 1 we seek and nut condemnation and we hope for a day of overturning and overturning I 1 in bombay yet that may bring to seiw some wheat worthy to be carried home to the garner we have at present a most vir luent expositor figuring in the prints of the island the worthless and lying propensities of whom I 1 have shown up in in two journals receiving I 1 ceivia r h his is abominable trash here her I 1

for lack of such buell prom from yours affectionately H FINDLAY FINDLAY P EXTRACTS I 1 I 1 from a letter written by elder wn wm bolh fotheringham J ef er to joseph cain pa EEF east indies nov 2 ma BROTHER I 1 have now been six mon months iu in the country and have traveled a great deal in the interior since since my arrival in the first place br carter and myself were appointed to go to dinamore Dina pore a military station on the river ganges there being nothing but troops at this station and we beinar being prohibited t from going into cantonments canton ments to preach to them consequently there was as little chance of doing anything at this thia place it being the hottest part ot of the season still made it worsen worse the sun pouring i down with all the powers characteristic of a tropical clime we then went up to chunas some miles above dina dinamore pore brej to a garrison 11 guarded by invalid soldiers W we were not permitted to stay at that place all night or in other words they would not give us a nights lodgings we then hi hired red a native aingie or boat to take us up to pore which was 30 miles above chunas we then took the steamboat at this point and returned to calcutta calcutt a er br carter being sickly caused from the exposure he had to endure was permitted to return home I 1 afterwards I 1 bap bapties baptised tied sed the En engineer of the t steamboat that we went u up p the ver ganges 1 OT on and since I 1 left calcutta I 1 have learned from hr br jones that his wife and mother haye have been obedient to the gospel also after my arrival in calcutta from the river ganges I 1 continued to labor with my brethren in spreading the truth in that city until the I 1 I 1 I 1 1 of august when br woolley yand ind myself left for the upper provinces pio plo vinces previous to this hr br willis wrote to calcutta requesting hr br jones to send up two elders to this part oil of the country consequently hr br jones deemed it proper to send hr br woolley and myself our mode of conveyance was in an ox wagon rather a slow way in getting along tho they travel night and i day these bullock trains are established by a company in calcutta for the purpose of transporting merchandise to the upper provinces i the company has a contract with the natives to furnish them with fresh bullocks and teamsters every ten miles so it was a continual changing night and day one yoke of oxen to a wagon and they sometimes so feeble that it would take them isi 12 hours to go their I 1 10 0 miles mies with the assistance I 1 si stance of 3 or 4 natives pushing the wagon I 1 with shouting and hallowing hallooing hallo ballo which was very annoying indeed we had at times to sleep with one eye open because the nights the natives would turn the oxen out and go to sleep which is not allowed by the company and also we were anxious to make our j journey a urney as expeditious as possible because our situation was not a very comfortable one however after 32 days journey we arrived at which is miles above calcutta there hr br willis aps waiting to take us as over to mr skinners at Bale spore six miles from that we might refresh ourselves for a few days after our long tedious journey jo irney we stayed at Bale spore nine days and there being none but natives at this place with the exception of mr skinner we thep then desired to go to w hilti is the largest station in upper india it being SO 50 miles from this point mr skinner hired two native carts to take us there br willis aulia this point for calcutta on hi his 18 way home to his family he gave us its a letteron letter lette of introduction to an irish gentleman by the name of mr kely kelly who resides in on the rth of october we arria arrived ea vt at the house of mr kelly in he received us courteously knowing that we were strangers in a strange land for three days after our arrival we could not get out of the house because of the continual rains that fell after it cleared off we got round amongst a few of the people and told them where we were from and what our business was and preached the first principles of the gospel to them in their private hou houses houes es they would listen to asfor the sake of courtesy for as a general thing it would go in at the one ear and aut out at the other however we succeeded in getting the hotel to preach in As soon as we had everything ready and the night appointed appoint bd for our first lec ture there was a letter sent to va us from colonel huthwaite Hut hwai te w who ho was in temporary command of the station in the absence of brigadier scott who was then at the himalaya mountains Q and was expected here in a few days to resume his command I 1 I 1 col huthwaite stated in his letter that we should not be allowed to preach in cantonments canton ments we then called upon him to see if he would let us preach once to fill the appointment WP we I 1 had made he told us he would not grant us any any such permission he said brigadier scott would be here in a few days I 1 and resume command of the station and if he gave us the lib erty all would be right but I 1 am confidently ass assured tired that he will not give you permission consequently on the arrival of brigadier scott C B we paid him a visit he received as with |
