ALMANDA, 13th July, 1854.

MY DEAR MR. EDITOR-Having written out my accounts for the inspection of the Committee of the Bible Evangelical Missionary Society against the next mail, it strikes me, that it will be as well, to send a copy to the Herald, the kind and zealous advocate of the new Coorg Mission, when it first started into existence, that all the good friends, who have so handsomely come to its assistance, may see the good company in which they have been as supporters of this Mission, and rejoice at the ocular demonstration, which the account gives, of the goodness and the riches of that Master, who still sends messengers of His gospel, when and where and whom He pleases, to the nations that are His inheritance, and permits none of His servants to lack. I have now a dozen people to preach to in the new Church. But it will well hold one hundred. How glad shall I be, when it will be crowded.

My account stands thus: on the first of September 1853, I accounted in the Herald for Rs. 1,955-11, which I had received until then. There remained a

balance of Rs. 28-5-10. Since September I have received the still larger sum of Rs. 2, 879-14-7, which, with the above balance, makes Rs. 2,908-4-5. The list of donations is subjoined. sent to Coorg by the friends, whose names are given below, is Rs. 1,955-11 and Rs. 2,879-14-7, or Rs. 4, 835-9-7 and, adding two sums deducted in the donation list of Rs. 36 and Rs. 40, the whole amounts to Rs. 4,911-9-7. This is certainly a very large sum to be given within 16 months to a new Mission, suddenly established under providential circumstances, on a new field, by a single handed Missionary, at a time, when pressing calls upon the liberality of the liberal multiply every month. Let no man, then, be discouraged, by mere want of money, from doing his duty!

Account of Rs. 2,879-14-7 received since September 1853 and of Rs. 28-5-10 the balance of the former period. Total Rs. 2,908-5-4, viz.

This total of expenses is Rs. 74-3-2 more, than the sum of donations. I have had recourse to a small loan from a deposit in my hands, without fear, because all the heavy expenditure being now over, a few months will set everything right. But I mention the circum

stance, to show that the Coorg Mission is not rich, and cannot afford being forgotten.

May the Lord multiply to all the good friends, who have helped the Coorg Mission, both the means and the will to sow liberally for the harvest, which is to
