CXCVII. MAY, 1835.
The Treasurers of Auxiliary Societies, and other Friends who may have Monies in hand on account of the Society, are respectfully reminded that the Treasurer's account for the year will close on the 31st instant, which renders it necessary that all payments intended to appear in the Appendix to the next Report, should be made in the course of the present month. It is requested, therefore, that the respective accounts may be sent, properly balanced, to the Secretary, No. 6, Fen Court, Fenchurch Street, accompanied by the list of Subscribers, &c., in alphabetical order.
Particular attention is solicited to this notice; for as all the Society's accounts for the year are examined and audited, by the gentlemen appointed for that purpose, in the first week in June, and the Report will, it is expected, leave the press in a few days after the Annual Meeting, it is clearly impossible that payments can be included, or lists of particulars inserted, which come to hand after the time specified.
The Committee have pleasure in stating that their esteemed brethren, the Rev. Samuel Summers, of Bristol, and the Rev. Benjamin Godwin, of Bradford, have engaged to preach the Sermons at our next Annual Meeting. Full particulars, as usual, may be expected in our next Number.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
CUTWA.
From Mr. William Carey to the Secretary, dated Cutwa, October 26, 1834.
I am sorry to find that it is a long time, and much longer than it ought to have been, since I wrote to you last. The only reason is, that I have had to go through much affliction. Mrs. Carey has been very ill at times, and I have not been well. Our beloved father has also been removed to a better state, and one or two others connected with the family. In such things, and at different times, has the Lord seen fit to afflict us; but the Lord is good, and his strokes are lighter than we have deserved; yea, all his ways are mercy.
I am happy to say that since I wrote last the work of the Lord has been going on as usual. I think I have baptized eleven persons, some belonging to the Christian families, and some from the heathen. The Mella's have also been visited, and the surrounding villages as usual; great numbers of tracts and books have been distributed; people upon the whole have been very attentive. The native preachers are out almost every day, and are well received. I have now two inquirers; an Hindoo woman and a Mussulman man; how they may turn out I cannot say.
