Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Propagation of Christianity, Vol. 2 of 3: Among the Heathen, Since the Reformation
In February 1794, Mr Carey proceeded with his family in a boat to the east of Calcutta, with the view of taking land in that part of the country, and cultivating it for the support Of his family. On the morning Of the third day, they arrived at a place called Deharta, about forty miles from that city, and in the neighbourhood of the Sunderbunds. Here the East India Company had a bungalow, and Mr Short, who resided there as superintendent of the salt-works, on seeing them, invited the whole of them to stay with him until they were able to erect a house for themselves and though he was an unbeliever, he treated them with great hospitality and kindness. The state of Mr Carey's mind at this time may be seen in the man ner in which he expresses himself on several occasions in his journal.
I have lately, he writes on one occasion, been full of per plexity about various temporal concerns. I have met with heavy af?ictions but in the mount the Lord is seen. I wish I had but more of God in my soul, and felt more submission in my heart to his will. This would raise me above every trouble. I feel happy in this that I am in my work, and that it is the work of God the more I am employed in it, the more I feel it a rich reward.
