Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Journal of a Missionary Tour in India: Performed by the Rev. Messrs. Read and Ramsey, Missionaries of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Go Ye Into All the World, and Preach the Gospel to Every Creature The first Protestant Missionaries designed for the Mahratta people, were sent out by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. They arrived at Bombay early in the year 1813, and immediately began to prepare for usefulness among the benighted Hindoos. The Island of Bombay was the only station they occupied, until the year 1831; when a new station was formed at Ahmednuggur, on the continent, and about a hundred and seventy-five miles north east of Bombay. Schools, in the meantime, had been established on the Island of Salsette, and on the continent south of Bombay; the most of which are still in existence. Some of them have been given up, and others formed in their place. The number of schools and scholars is subject to continual changes. The annual number of scholars may be about twelve hundred. Since the commencement of the Mahratta Mission, till the present time, the following named persons have been sent out from the American churches, to labour for the salvation of this people. Some of this number sleep in Jesus; some have returned to America in ill health; and others are still in the field.
