Letter from Mr. Hawtrey, to Miss Hannah Adams. London Society House, Spitalfield, Sept. 25. My dear Madam,-Your kind letter, inclosing a draft for one hundred pounds from the Ladies' Boston Society, has just come to hand, and I hasten to send you the cordial thanks of our Committee for the same. I have also to acknowledge the receipt of your interesting work with the accompanying letter. Amidst some discouragements, sent doubtless by God to try our faith and patience, a very bright prospect of a final blessing on our endeavours still lies open before us. We have just completed the four Gospels and Acts of the Apostles in pure Biblical Hebrew, and the Committee of the British and Foreign Bible Society have also just received such pressing calls for them from Russia and Poland, where there are nearly a million of Jews, that they are about to take of us one thousand copies for immediate circulation there. This is a most providential interference in our favour, and shows at once that God is with us. We have also two young Jewish Rabbies who are studying for the Ministry, in whom the grace of God is very conspicuously displayed. In our schools we have at this time forty-one boys and thirty-seven girls. Most sincerely praying that the God of Abraham may bless all those Ladies who have taken up the cause of poor outcast Israel, and that their example may be very widely followed in America, I am, dear Madam, yours truly, C. HAWTREY, Joint Sec'y. Sir, SUNDAY SCHOOLS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE CHRISTIAN HERALD. Easton, (Penn) March 10th, 1817. It is with pleasure that I communicate to those who are partial to Sunday Schools the information of our having established one in this place. The institution is under the superintendence of a general Committee of ladies and gentlemen, and its scholars instructed in separate apartments. Committees of instruction, of four members each, appointed from the male and female members of the Society, perform the duty of teachers in their respective rooms. Our first meeting was held yesterday, and from the number, as well as spirit manifested by those who attended, we flatter ourselves with the hope of doing much good. One hundred and fifteen girls and sixty-nine boys constitute the present number of scholars. Herald. The present Number completes our second volume. On a retrospect of the subjects of religious intelligence contained in our pages during the last six months, we have abundant cause to rejoice in the opportunity afforded of recording so many remarkable and highly interesting events, by which the hand of Jehovah has been signalized in advancing the purposes of his grace towards our fallen world. In the Islands of the Southern Ocean, missionary labours exerted during nearly twenty years, amidst many perils, hardships, and discouragements, have been seen at last crowned with the most ample and glorious success : a whole nation awakened by the sound of the everlasting Gospel, are beheld forsaking their pagan: rites, casting their dumb idols into the fire to cook their food, establishing among themselves the worship of the living and true God; —their king and one of their former priests becoming missionaries of the cross, and multitudes of their children flocking to schools to be trained up in Christian knowledge and godliness. In South Africa we view the Caffres receiving the messengers of the Gospel with a cordial welcome, manifesting an ardent desire to have these men of God settle among them, and teach them the way of salvation. In Crimea, we observe a large settlement of Jews expressing their anxiety to possess and read the Christian Scriptures. The inhabitants of the Island of Hayti, who for many years past have lived almost as destitute of Christian instruction as the hea-. then, are seen sending agents to England to procure teachers and preachers of the Gospel, and establishing seminaries of learning for the instruction of their youth. In the frontiers of this State, we have recently heard of a large body of Indians abjuring, in the most public, decided, and satisfactory manner, their idolatrous worship, and declaring the Christian's God to be their God, and their hopes of salvation to be fixed on the blessed Redeemer. From various parts of our land the most cheering accounts of the revival of God's work in his Churches have greeted our eyes and gladdened our hearts. We have beheld the Bible cause progress ing and flourishing in a highly encouraging degree throughout Christendom, not only by a great augmentation of the number of Bible Institutions, but also by an increase of activity, method, and efficiency in conducting their operations. The Sunday School system of instruction, with all its benign and salutary effects upon the illiterate poor, has been seen widely extending and unfolding its usefulness in many places where it was greatly needed: also, Associations formed in many places for supplying the means of Christian instruction to the children of pagans in their own coun try. in Our readers have been likewise informed of the measures taken a neighbouring State to institute a school for the Christian education of heathen youth, in order to qualify them for missionary labours in the benighted land of their nativity; also of the very humane and laudable establishment for the instruction of the deaf and dumb. They have heard of the zealous exertions made in Great Britain for evangelizing the Jews; and of the steps which for some time past have been taken in this country to the same end, resulting in the formation of the American Society to carry that laudable design into effect. Among other benevolent undertakings, they have seen that the case of the sons of Africa among us was not forgotten that a respectable ecclesiastical body has lately pursued measures for the education of coloured youth, to become teachers and preachers of the Gospel to the people of colour in this country and elsewhere; and that a highly respectable Society has been formed at the seat of government of the United States, with a view to provide, on a liberal and extended scale, a proper asylum for the large and growing population of that class of people, who, though manumitted, can scarcely enjoy any of the advantages of freedom but its name, and whose social degradation while living among us, is likely to be as durable, in the present state of our society, as the colour of their skin. As long as the exhibition of facts of the nature of those above recited shall continue to elicit an interest in the religious public in this part of the world, sufficient to afford the necessary support to such a vehicle of their communication as we have the pleasure to conduct, we shall esteem it an honour and a privilege to be made instrumental in making it a source of Christian gratification and usefulness, and shall feel happy in exerting our humble efforts to make the publication increasingly interesting and edifying. · Our patrons must be aware that the procuring, searching for, and digesting the various matter suitable for this work, together with all the subordinate operations unavoidably connected with the business, cannot be accomplished without considerable pains and expense; which expense is much increased whenever payment is delayed beyond the period stipulated. In order to place this last mentioned item upon a footing advantageous to those who may think proper to profit by the offer, and remove any objections that may be made to the price of the publication, we have determined, after this volume, to allow a discount of twenty-five per cent. to those subscribers who shall pay at our office in this city, or transmit to us by mail without expense, in money current here, for one year, in advance, within a month after the commencement thereof; and twelve and a half per cent. discount to those who pay in like manner for six months (or one volume) in advance. This will make the volume come at the rate of only one dollar and a half in the first case, and one dollar and three quarters in the second. The terms will otherwise remain as before.
