The Ilev. Dr. Cox, of Hackney, said.
But the sentiments of affection anu traterni- j
z ition with the British and Foreign Bible !
Society, did not tv ccssarily involve an entire
concurrence in every measure that had
been adapted by its conductors. There
might bo a difference with regard to particular
acts, while there was a concurrence
with respect to the general course, lie

however, lie must say tliut no Iiui no pro- i
tost o enter (hear, hear), he had only to j
dec1 a re his cordial an 1 henrtf It a tachmcn? j
to the Society. Dr. Philip ha ! expressed
an entire hope that cer ain individuals would i
enploy their infill* uce with the Committee,
to induce them to render assistance
to the Missions in which lie was engaged.
He did not think such great influnnce was ;
needed. le t any translation of die Scrip. j
tures he placed before lh'Comm.ta.e, and
no sooner were they satisfied that t.he trans- |
lation was good, than they would be willing
to afford assistance. (If nr.) fie hoped
soon to carry out boxes upon boxes, containing
5,000 copies of ihc precious volume,

As to certain words, and points, poiirs on ;
which Clirisiians might differ, t.'iey had I
proceeded in their translations with partio- I
ular caution. It might bo easily supposed j
that many wor Is would bo diOr ult ;o fans- j

11 .1.,, '
Missionaries introduced them, rind ofcodrse |
r.o name for thai animal. They hud pigs i
and tliey called a horse the pig winch I
carries the man. Toe Missionaries hnd j
to supply them names. They used the
Roman characa rs, and they consulted tiic i
ihiglish language. Rat many words had >
to be Tahetianiz *d,or I'okjycsani/.ed.M my [
words were d.liicuit to express in consequence
of die vowels in that lungugc being
always placed between two consonants.
The word horse would have given a diiierCo
( nt meaning. Tney went, therefore, to the
(Jreek ; there they found the word hippos,
which dropping the s, gave them hippo;
that word they had adopted, which was
understood by the natives, and would be j
understou I also by any learned man.?
(Hear.) Thou in r forence to the word
baptism. (Road cries of "hear, hear,''
and much laughter mid cheering, all eyes
heing turned to Dr. Cox, who joined heaiily
in the cheers.) As :o baptism, tiiey had
used the word which signified the application
of water, without any reference to the
precise manner i:i which the water was
applied. Lest, however, any mistake might
arise in future years, they had gone to the j
Greek word, which all would be able to '
comprehend.
Dr. Cow?And what docs that mean in
Tahetian/" (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Williams.?"Just what we please
to assign to it, Sir." (Much laughter, and
cries of "hear, hear," and "Oh, oh," from
Dr. Cox.) Mr. Williams then gave some
interesting particulars as to the s ate of the
missions in two or three of the islands, as
confirmed by the testimony of Capt. Lord
Byron.
After inserting the above, we have thought
it might be well to add the following from
the late Abstract of the American Bible Society
in rcla, ion to the new Hawaiian version.

pains taken in inakingtheir translation from
Hebrew and Greek with tiie aid of native
teachers and various lexicons and helps,
the Mission tries write that so co-pious is
the I la wit un lenguage that they are not
under the necessity ofin roducing a great
number of foreign words, except proper
names.
"Wo have, however," say they, "adopted
Evanelio for Gospel, anclu for ange', daitnonio

bape iso for baptize, bapetiso-ana for baptism,
Bapctitc for Rap'ist, lepero for leper, neto

which are wuli established and familiar to

POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO
OPEN TIIE MIND OF MAN.
Our reason is shut up, and buried with
various appetites, humor, and passions,
against Gospel truths ; nor can wc admit
them into our hearts, except God, by his
Spirit, do set open our mind, and work a
free passage tor them into us. It is he
who commanded the light to shine out of
d'arkness, that must, a* .Sr. Paul speaketh,
" illuminate our hearts with the knowledge
of these things/' An u:ic:ion from the
Holy One, clearing our eyes, softening our
hearts, healing our distempered faculties,
must,as Sr. John informeth us, teach and i
persuade us this sort of truth. A hearty
belief of the.se seemingly incredible propositions
must indeed bo, as J>t. Paul called)
it, " the gift of God," proceeding
from that spirit of faith whereof the same
apostle speaketh: such faith is not, as 5>t.
Basil saiili, engendered by geometrical
necessities, but by tbe eflectnal operations
of the IIolv Ghost. It is iruc some fewsparks
or {lashes of this div.ne knowledge
may posssibly be driven out by rational
consideration. Philosophy mavyield some
twilight glimmerings thereof. Common
reason may dictate a faint consent unto,
may produce a cold tendency after some
of these things ; but a clear perception, and
a reslouto persuasion of mind, that full assurance
of faith and inflexible confession
of hope, w hich the apostle to the Hebrews
speaks of;that full assurance of under,
standing ; that abundant know ledge of the j
J * o
divine will in all spiritual wisdom and tinstanding,
w ith which St. Paul did pray j
that the Colossians might be replenished ; '
these so perfect illustrations of the mind,
so powerful convictions of the heart, do
anme imme diate influence from the foun- j
- ri . 1
tain oflifo and wisdom, the Ltivme spirit. i
Y eternal instruction could infuse, no in- i
te.i ir discourse could excite them, could
penetrate tlje.se opacities of igm r.mcc,
and dissipate these thick mists of prejudice,
wherein nature and custom do involve ns ;
coul! so thourougldy awaken the lethargic
supiduv ofoursouls ; could supple the reiractory
s'illness of our wills ; could mollify
tie s'ro g hardness of our bear's ; could
\oid our natural avrsion to such things,
and quell that carnal mind, which St. Paul j
savs is enmity against God, for it is no'
subject to the law of God, neither indeed
can he could depress those lofy towers
of self conceit, reared against the knowledge
of God, anddemo'ish those bulwarksof selfwill
and perverse stomach opposed against
the expressions of divine faith, and captivate
e cry conceit and device of ours to the obedicnceof
Christ and his discipline. Well,
therefore, did Sr. Paul pray in behalf of
his Ephesinns, that God would besow on
them the spirit of wisdom and revelation in
the acknowledgment of him, and thai the
4 eves of their mind he enlightened, sons to
know the hope of their calling that is to,
understand and believe thf* doctrines of
Christianity.?Br. Isaac Barrow.

from the proceedings of the Committee of
the British Foreign Bible Society, and had i
been convinced the principles of h- t institu- ,
tion had been violated oil one particular
occasion. Me concurred in that opinion,
an! in the pro est which he presented to
the committee of the Society, lie could
not be Understood on this occasion, on behalf
of the denomination ho represented, j
as retracting any thing of their conscien- j
lions convict o;:s on th ; subject 'o whicli he j
referred, but as mainu ly, though atf -ct on- j
, ately, r'-avowing them. Mo wished to be
understood, on t!,e i n; hand as maintain
ing fidelity to jiieir principles, but on tiio j
other hand adherence to a common cause,:
how far that common cause nrg!it be pro- ;
inotcd, or how it ni'ght be promoted, it was J
no: for him 'o chelate. What lie had to sav i
on this subject was this, t!?a* both reason !

to a lopt whatever means niiglv pr? vcm or j

in justice of its op rations, it should be I
an Archimedes whose lever siioul I move j

IIlv. J. Williams, missionary from the j
South Sen Islands, was warmly greeted. '

lating the Scriptures, so that in every land j
the natives might read ihe word of God in i
their own tongue, lie had lis ened to what
had been said by Dr. Cox. For lumself. I
l.ist friend, and where couid you find a I j
bright >-pot on earth? I want to direct you i
to one whose friendship will bo of more j
value to you than that of all others in the H|
world. Hut before 1 tell you his name, let c.
me point out to yoj some of his cxcellen- i
cies.
1. He is a tried friend. He hasbcen
tried for thousands of years by millions of
individuals, and be lias never, in a single
instance, proved treacherous, or deserod
one in the hour of need or peril. A "cloud (
of u i.ncsses" can he brought forward to at- ?
test this truth. Reader, you have tried
many friends. Some of them probably gr
have proved to be real friends?but alas, \.
how many have you found to he "rotten ant
a the core,"?they have flattered only _J
to deceive.
2. die Is a powerful friend. Other friends I
may really desire to help you?but how j 'Jj
ofan are \ou in circumstances where they j
. ? "..i - ? .1 I
CUl.UQl ruiiiui \ijii (laaisianiTL. } ua uciu. ^rn
But this Iricnd can afford you tiic needed A.
help in all possible circumstances in wife str<
you can be placed. He can shield you
from the most powerful enemies, and ; m d j
the greatest dangers. Though the whole ?
world should combine for your destruction, ^
yet Ike to him beneath the protection of his ^
arm you are safe.
3. He is always at hand and ready to ]
help.?Other friends may be far from you 1
at the very time you most need their assis- t
tance. Between them and you oceans may
roll. But not so ibis friend. He never j ,
leaves nor forsakes those who trust in him. '
He is always by their side to protect them
from the most unexpected dangers, and to
provide at all times for their wants. ]
4. He is rich and allc to supply your ~~
wants. How many wants for your body'
and soul which no earthly friend can relieve!
But this friend has a rich supply for every ne
w; nt of body and soul, for time and eternity. Hc>
Though you had the friendship of the
mightiest earthly monarch, yet even his I
wealth and resources might fail, and hisj^g
throne crumble to ruin. But this flit nd lias I *
resources lor the supply of your wants I
\v! i h ave absolutely exliaustless. And j _
though he has supplied the wants of millions I
of his friends, yet his treasures are not in
t! e 1 iast diminished.
Some of my readers may be among the I
number of those whose earthly treasures,
at ti.is time of wide-spread calamity, ".ake ! _
to themselves wings and fly away." At |
this time, when our country is rocked as j
with a tempest, and agitated as on a volca-:
no, perhaps all your friends are sliaring with i '
you in the general wreck. Do you not i ~
ilien peculiarly need this friend? Will you !
In mi vniirc? :
llUl iwurv unit iu?.... , r _
5. He is a sympathizing friend. Per- j J
haps you have known by experience how
cheering it is to have a friend to sympathize ^
wi.h you in the sad hoursof your affliction. j10
Surely this of itself was 'dike cold water to
the thirsty soul," even if they could do no hing
more. Perhaps too, at such times, you
h ivc seen professed lricnds stand aloof, { ~
and you could almost almost say, "Lover
and friend have I none." Put this friend
has always proved "a friend in need"? *
one who is always "touched with the feeling P'of
our infirrni ics." "His heart is made of ~
tenderness, his bowels melt with love." F
G. He will he a friend when all other
friends fail. All other friends can go with you
but a little way in your future journey. @
Death is just ahead of you. That is an ?
hour when all eaithly friends must part.?
Tin's friend alone can stand by you as you
grapple with the "king of terrors"?as you f
go down the lonely a: d daik vale of death, the
And then during that longetcrni y beyond, ?ne
how friendless, bow wretched must you he,
unless this friend is yours. ?

A TRUE ANECDOTE. ag(
f
A ministr was about to leave bis own
congregation for die purpose of visiting np(
London on what was by no means a pleas- the
ant errand?to beg on behalf of his nlav.c ag:
of worship. Previous to Ids departure, he
called together the principle persons coi nected
with his charge, and said to tlum,! ()jj
"Now I shall be asked whether we ha\ejf0r
conscientiously done all that we can for tl e j ?
removal of this deb'; what answer am I ;o i
give? Brother so-and-so, can you in your j
conscience, say that you have given all that jf
you can? " Why, sir," he replied, "if yon i
come to conscience, I doift know that I
can." The same question he put to a j second,
and a third, and so on, and similiar j __
answers were returned, till the whole sum
required was subscribed, and there was no |
longer any need for their pastor to wear i
out his soul in coming to London on any J jj;i
such unpleasant excursion.

hat which was agreed upon in Columbia, sever..!
rears ago; and if so, by what means and by what |
igoncics the plan can be most fully and thorjughly,
and jedieiously carried into effect, so
hat our entire reading population, have free ac:ess
to copies of the Holy Scriptures in their |
nvn possession. And finally to deliberate upon j
my other subject connected with the diffusion :
>f the Bible, whether at home or abroad, in j
Christian or in heathen lands.
The general fact is known, that districts of i
country, which have been thoroughly supplied '
>nc year have contained many destitute families
ie ; and what is true of one district is true j
>f all the rest, as the suns causes operate t:> ere- !
ite the want, viz: the formation of new families, |
ho immigration of others, and the wearing out of i
.he Bibles thcm.olves In most cases wlurc u
c-supply has been uidcrtikcn, after an interval!
)f lour or five years, t!ic destitution has beet) |
bund full half as groat as at the period of the!
)rigin.il supply, and in some cases greater, fioin
he causes already assigned. We allude to this j
act because it was one of the principal motives
vhich induced the Managers of the Charleston
3iblc Society to propose a convention.
The Committee regard it as superfluous to urge
he subject upon your consideration by any turher
remarks, as all the reasons for a Convention, 1
vhich wc could submit, must be f.rmiliar to your I
nind. All that we hive so solicit, is, that you j
vould call the attention of your soci- ty to the .
iroposition, that should they deem it expedient,!
lelegutcs may he appointed 10 represent your Sojiety
in the Convention.
Wc have the honor to subscribe ourselves, in j
vim?, and by the appointment of the Managers i
>f the Charleston Bible Society your fellow la- j
>orers in the Bible cause.
