labours as not to convey the impression that almost nothing has been done, or that almost every thing has been done; both impressions are false. It may be truly said that much has been done in some places, but that more—a thousand times more—remains to be done than has been done, or than can be well understood by Christians in England or America. In the single province of Bengal are districts containing seven million five hundred thousand inhabitants, without a missionary; and in other parts of India you may journey through district after district, and province after province, with millions and millions of inhabitants, and find but two or four men, toiling amid the masses of heathenism around them, as if attempting to empty the ocean by buckets-full, or to tunnel the mountains with bodkins. In other places you will find no man at all to shed one ray of light upon the unbroken darkness of false religion. Yet, where labour is put forth, God is blessing it, and will bless it more and more abundantly, until India, in all its vast extent, unites to ascribe blessing and honour and glory and power unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb forever. Even so, come Lord Jesus, come quickly! Amen.
