Sivu 477 - And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the Church : but if he neglect to hear the Church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a Publican.
Sivu 254 - I do not by any means assent to the pictures of depravity and general worthlessness which some have drawn of the Hindoos. They are decidedly, by nature, a mild, pleasing, and intelligent race ; sober, parsimonious, and, where an object is held out to them, most industrious and persevering.
Sivu 462 - And now, grace, mercy, and peace from God, the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ...
Sivu 329 - Of the people, so far as their natural character is concerned, I have been led to form, on the whole, a very favourable opinion. They have, unhappily, many of the vices arising from slavery, from an unsettled state of society, and immoral and erroneous systems of religion. But they are men of high and gallant courage, courteous, intelligent, and most eager after knowledge and improvement, with a remarkable aptitude for the abstract sciences, geometry, astronomy, &c., and for the imitative arts, painting...
Sivu 454 - ... to his care, and from attempting whose conversion to Christianity he seems to have abstained, from a feeling of honour. His other converts were between six and seven thousand, besides those which his predecessors and companions in the cause had brought over.
Sivu 133 - ... in the degree in which he employs the natives in official situations, and the countenance and familiarity which he extends to all the natives of rank who approach him, he seems to have reduced to practice, almost all the reforms which had struck me as most required in the system of government pursued in those provinces of our Eastern Empire which I had previously visited...
Sivu 348 - France, surpassed in any great degree by the people of those countries. Their goldsmiths and weavers produce as beautiful fabrics as our own, and it is so far from true that they are obstinately wedded to their old patterns, that they show an anxiety to imitate our models, and do imitate them very successfully. The ships built by native artists at Bombay are notoriously as good as any which sail from London or Liverpool.
Sivu 94 - Carli, where such an ornament, but of greater size, is likewise found, that a large gilt umbrella used to spring from it. This solid dome appears to be the usual symbol of Buddhist adoration, and, with its umbrella ornament, may be traced in the Shoo-Madoo of Pegu, and other more remote structures of the same faith. Though it is different in its form and style of ornament from the Lingam, I cannot help thinking it has been originally intended to represent the same popular object of that almost universal...
Sivu 244 - Christ." (Vol. ii., p. 290.) — " Hearing all I had heard of the prejudices of the Hindoos and Mussulmans, I certainly did not at all •expect to find that the common people would, not only without objection, but with the greatest thankfulness, send their children to schools. on Bell's system ; and they seem to be fully sensible of the advantages conferred by writing, arithmetic, and above all by a knowledge of English. There are now in Calcutta, and the surrounding village's, 20 boys' schools,...
Sivu 454 - He was really one of the most active and fearless (as he was one of the most successful) Missionaries who have appeared since the Apostles. To say that he was disinterested in regard to money, is nothing: he was perfectly careless of power ; and renown never seemed to affect him, even so far as to induce an outward show of humility.
