"the consent and approbation of the brethren, "Kolhoff and Holzberg, and himself, relative "to which official communication would be made 66 by Mr. Pohle himself. Mr. Horst," he ob"serves, certainly deserves it, being a man of "considerable literary attainments, as well as "of good moral character; for which he is greatly esteemed at Tanjore. Our excellent "brother Kolhoff, bestoweth great praise on him, and seems to be one heart and one soul "with him. They are now labouring together; "in the vineyard of the Lord, with an exem plary zeal and activity.' 66 66 "Mr. Pezold complains, that having himself "no other means of subsistence, but that furnished by the Society's allowance, he found himself straitened, and under great difficulties "to subsist, in times like the present; a circum "stance which he recommends to the compas "sionate attention of the Society. "The notitia transmitted by Mr. Pazold from "the Vepery Church Register, for the year 1806, is as follows. "Child of European extraction Marriages "Funerals "Portugueze communicants, April 22, "1806 "Malabar ditto the same day "At Sadras.

Mr. Pohle, in a letter dated-atTrichinapally, the 16th of February, 1807, "states, that in the course of the preceding year, there had been in that Mission, and at Dindegal 66 among which, five were 21 Baptisms, amongst "of adult Heathens, 3 converts from Po 66 pery, 4 Marriages. 66 66 14 Funerals. 159 Communicants. About And about 50 English scholars. 30 Malabar scholars. "The Trichinapally congregation of Portugueze and Malabars, amounted to 334 "souls, which, together with about 30 at Dindegal and Madura, made 364. As officiating chaplain of the garrison of Trichinapally, he "had had 32 baptisms, 18 marriages, and 47 burials, the communicants having been 13. "Since the departure of the Rev. Mr. Ball, one of the chaplains of the East India Company, "he had continued to officiate alone. His fellow "labourers in the Mission were two English "schoolmasters, three catechists, and three Ma"labar schoolmasters, who were in training to "be made catechists. The Christians at Dindegal and Madura had been frequently visited by the catechists, who also frequently an"nounced the Gospel of Christ to the natives. "Mr. Pohle considered his Mission, on the "whole, to be on a promising footing. He had "been successively favoured with visits from "Messrs. Kerr of Madras, Buchanan of Cal"cutta, and John of Tranquebar, with whom " he had had important conversations, concerning the English Missions, and the dissemina"tion of Christian knowledge in the East. "Dr. Buchanan, who had had opportunities "of personally knowing Mr. Henry Horst, had "much encouraged the idea of his ordination; "which had taken place on the first Sunday of "the preceding Advent, at Tanjore, in the "manner Mr. Kolhoff, and the country priest "Sattianaden, had received their ordinations, through the hands of Father Schwartz. Mr. "Pohle therefore strongly recommended the reception of Mr. Horst as the Society's Missionary, and that they would grant to him the salary of a Missionary. Mr. Pohle mentions that they had cele"brated a jubilee, on the 13th of July, 1806, "in commemoration of the arrival of the two first Protestant Missionaries at Tranquebar, on the 9th of July, 1706, with thanksgivings "and praises to God, and a suitable sermon from Matt. xxviii. 19.. "He expresses his wish that the Mother Mis"sion at Tranquebar, may continue to be remembered for good, by the Hon, Society, as |
