THE

CALCUTTA CHRISTIAN OBSERVER.

No. 68.-January, 1838.

1.-Editors' Preface.

IN commencing, with the New Year, the Seventh volume of the CALCUTTA CHRISTIAN OBSERVER, our feelings are eminently of a satisfactory nature. We believe we are strictly correct in the impression that no Indian periodical, of a decidedly religi ous character, (with any thing like an equal extent of circulation) has had so long an existence-and that of the Calcutta Christian Observer has not been a mere existence, but a healthy and a vigorous one ;-even within the last year the number of our subscribers has very considerably augmented. Now this one fact, we apprehend, may justly be viewed as evidence of the increasing interest taken by the Indian Public in works which, like ours, together with a due attention to all subjects of a general nature, are avowedly devoted to the advocacy of religious truth, in especial connexion with the great Missionary cause. The change that has taken place in these distant colonies in this respect, as in every other analogous relation, is undeniable and most striking. It is a truly encouraging argument that, with a more extended knowledge of, and respect for, the doctrines of genuine Christianity among our countrymen and their indigenous descendants, there has been a not less decided extension of true religion itself, in the hearts of professing Christians. This, even viewing the consequent blessedness to themselves alone, and the promise so afforded that the amelioration is going and will go on with a greatly accelerated rapidity, is cause of exceeding joy, and of exulting thankfulness to "the God of all grace,' who is thus carrying on "the work of faith with power." But VII.
