pose of forwarding my views respecting the Saadhs, that he shall certainly, be sent up to Meerut. Now if any one could be sent out by the Church Missionary Society, I should indeed be happy. He might make my house at Meerut his head-quarters for a while; and itinerate among the Saadhs, till a footing was gained: and then-of which I have no hesitation to say there can be little or no doubt -he may sit down among them, as their regular Parish Priest, either at Soonput or some other large town, with zealous Anund for his Curate and Assistant. I should rejoice to have a Missionary so near me; and should be able to see him occasionally, and even visit him. I could employ him usefully and fully at Meerut; but the cause of Christ will, I think, be more extensively forwarded by the scheme proposed, than if he were to settle at Meerut, and superintend the Native Schools which we are planning here. Baptism of the old Saadh, Jysingh; and of another Native. The old Saadh, Jysingh, has been much with me; and the result is, his entire renunciation of all doctrines. but ONE-salvation by Jesus Christ alone! I had the happiness of admitting him into the fellowship of our Church last Christmas, baptizing the interesting old man by the name of David; and also another very promising convert from the Hindoo Faith, whom I think you have seen: he is now called Philip. The whole of my Native Brethren partook of the Sacra ment with us, after the baptism of the Saadh. David has written word, since he returned home to his people, that they all rejoice over him and with him. Numbers of them are to visit me at Meerut, after their annual rendezvous at Futtyghur, which will probably take place next month; in order to know more of the Blessed Son of God, and to pray for the "Rook Pakh" (Holy Spirit) to open their eyes and hearts. Persecution of Christian Natives. The baptism of Buhadur and Praeme, of whose difficulties Mr. Fisher speaks in the following passage, was stated at p. 222 of the Number for May. I am going to send Anund and Buhadur down to Calcutta, next month, to learn the New Mode of School In struction, practically, in their Schools. They will then return to me; and we hope to have ready for them a House and School, to be built on the sandy hill that lies between the Nullah and my House, and where I can see them every day, and care for their improvement. Buhadur has gone through miserable persecution at Kutowlee, and bas been now for some months living with me. Praeme also was a sufferer, from the same cause-his apostacy; as both the Hindoos and Mahomedans consider his conversion! They have, in consequence, been out of employ, except as readers to a few old men, who come to hear" God's book"-"Khoda Ke Kitab." Miscellanies. CHART OF THE HEAVEN AND HELL OF THE JAINAS. In the Thirteenth Appendix to the Nineteenth Report of the Church Missionary Society, a report is given of a visit of the Rev. C. T. Rhenius, in August of last year, to the Jainas; and of an interview with the High Priest of that Sect, at Chittamboore, about 200 miles from Madras. Mr. Rhenius's Narrative holds out much encouragement to Christian Exertions among them. Two very ample articles on this people are printed in the Ninth Volume of the Asiatic Researches. One is an Account" of them, collected from two Priests of the Sect, by Major C. Mackenzie; with some particulars by the Major, and by Dr. F. Buchanan. In the second artiele, Mr. H. T. Colebrooke takes up the subject after these writers, and. enters into detailed "Observations" on the Sect. At Veeranamoore, a Jain Village, near Chittamboore, Mr. Rhenius was1 "admitted into their Pagoda. "On one of the walls," he says, there was a Drawing, shewing the different stages of Heaven and Hell, according to the notions of the Jainas. Bounded as we all are to space and time, we can scarcely frame any idea of existence and extent in the abstract; and naturally assign a space to Heaven, and another to Hell. - When speaking of Heaven, we imagine a place above us; when of Hell, a place beneath. St. Paul was translated into the Third Heaven. The Jainas express these things in nearly the same manner." Of this Drawing Mr. Rhenius has sent a copy to the Society; from which the accompanying Engraving is taken. The Atmosphere Surrounding all the Worlds. 5. A still lower Heaven; the abode of Nine different kinds of Gods. 4. The three compartments thus marked represent a sort of Middle Heaven; where bliss is of a still lower degree than in the preceding. the highest bliss, must pass through the earth; that is, he must be born man. Here is more pain than on earth. 5. The eight divisions marked with this figure are called "Sorgam"- the Atmosphere surrounding the earth. In each division, there are divers kinds of Gods. The higher from the earth, the greater is the happiness of those who dwell there. 6. The upper part of the pyramid represents Paradise-the lower part of it, the middle world-and the base, the earth. 7. Is a world beneath the earth, where there are Beings who still worship God. Whoever desires from hence to attain to 8-14. These divisions denote Hell, with its several gradations of pain, according to the following comparisons: 8. like the colour of Precious Stones-9, of Sugar-10. of Sand-11. of Mud—12. of Smoke-13. of Darkness-14. of Gross Darkness. 15. Here is eternal and extreme misery, and from hence there is no returning. He, that believeth on the Son, hath everlasting life: and he, that believeth not the Son, shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.—John iii. 36, CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY, From November 22 to December 20, 1819.
