The Society had lost a faithful servant, and India a benefactor. The other letter was from the Danish Mis, sionaries, dated Tranquebar, 10th Oct. 1803, reporting the afflicting, ami irreparable, loss of their ever dear brother and senior, at Vellore, on the 2d. Soon after his return from the South he was attacked with fever, of which he recovered ; but his incessant labors did not permit the rest which his ace of 61 years, and weak frame of body required. " He was taken with a bowel complaint, which he thought might be removed by change of air ; but returning from Royacottah to Vellore, his disorder increased, rendering him unable to proceed," and " thus ended the laborious and pious life of this faithful servant of Christ," after a service of 38 years, with the highest and most unblemished reputation.
