[VOL. VIII.

The following accounts are from the pen of those who well knew the devoted career and character of Bishop Corrie:

The Rev. Daniel Corrie, having been nominated a Chaplain on the Bengal Establishment, came to India toward the close of the year 1806, in the 29th year of his age, full of love to his Saviour, and of devotedness to his ministerial duties, as an ambassador of the Lord Jesus, to beseech men to be reconciled to God through Christ, the Son of His love.

His college friend, Henry Martyn, was then in Calcutta, burning with zeal, and bright with sanctified knowledge and Christian love. By Brown and Martyn he was warmly welcomed; and most affectionately did these friends regard each other, and earnestly seek India's real welfare, from the sole Giver of every good and perfect gift.

For a few months after Mr. Corrie's arrival in India, he continued in Calcutta, rejoicing many hearts by the evangelical plainness and purity of his sermons, and by the fervour of his zeal and holiness. His first station up the country was at Chunar, where he soon was able to speak to the Natives in Hindoostanee, of which he had acquired the rudiments in his voyage out, and told them of the wonderful works of God-salvation through a crucified Redeemer, and sanctification through the Eternal Spirit. He engaged a Native Christian to teach and catechize, and RECORD, July 1837.]

established Schools to instruct native children in the truths of the Gospel. Benares had also the benefit of his visits and ministrations. He loved his Saviour, and for his Saviour's sake he loved the people among whom the Lord had placed him. This love he manifested by preaching Christ, establishing schools, and erecting churches. By the assistance of friends, of whom one of the foremost was Dr. J. Robinson, brother of our late Archdeacon, he raised a small Church at Secrole, soon after another at Benares, and in 1818 the beautiful Church at Chunar; together with a small Chapel at Buxar, to the poor invalids and Native Christians of which place he extended his compassion and his labours of love.

At Chunar the faithful Chaplain remained-having paid one visit to Calcutta meanwhile, to meet his sister on her arrival from England—until 1810, when he was removed to Cawnpore, to labour with his dear friend Martyn. Here he continued not much more than one year, being forced by a severe attack on the liver to abandon his duties for a season, and proceed to Calcutta, and as soon as possible to sea.

The Rev. David Brown went in the same ship, in a dying state. Tempestuous weather drove the ship back, almost a wreck; and about a fortnight after, Mr. Brown's spirit was relieved from the troubles of life, and entered into glory. Mr. Corrie soon after embarked in a ship bound to the Mauritius; but again a storm arose, and the vessel was obliged to

X

put in at Vizagapatam. His health having improved, he prosecuted his voyage no farther, but returned to Calcutta before the close of the year.

This was an important period in his life. In November 1812, he married Miss Myers, daughter of Mrs. Ellerton, who proved to him a help meet from the Lord. Her mind was strong, her judgment excellent, her natural talents cultivated with great care, and her affections purified and regulated by the Word and Spirit of God. After twenty-four years of happy union, Mrs. Corrie died in December 1836, to be followed, alas! in six short weeks, by him whose removal we now deplore.

Mr. Corrie being appointed to Agra in the beginning of 1813, took with him that venerable and faithful servant of Christ, Abdool Messeeh, who had been brought to the knowledge of Jesus by Henry Martyn, and baptized the year before by the Rev. David Brown. Abdool Messeeh was indeed a convert; and, being converted, he strengthened his brethren, and brought souls to the Saviour. A Native Congregation was formed at Agra, and soon counted fifty Members. The Word of the Lord grew and prospered; but within two years a dangerous attack on the liver drove Mr. Corrie from India for a season, to visit his native land. During a stay of about two years in England, he was much engaged in preaching for the Church Missionary Society, and in turning the hearts of British Christians to the spiritual destitution of their fellow-men in Hindoostan.

On his return from England, with Mrs. Corrie and an infant daughter, in the middle of 1817, Benares became the scene of his ministrations and devoted labours. It was while here that he raised, through the help of dear friends, the fine Church at Chunar-his first station-and the Chapel at Buxar. At this time he devoted much of his care and thoughts to the Church Missionary Society, by establishing Schools in connexion with the Society, for the Christian Education of Hindoos and Mahomedans.

In 1819, he became Presidency Chaplain. While filling this important office, he pursued his plans and exertions in the cause of Education; and with great cordiality welcomed and aided that excellent and indefatigable lady, Mrs. Wilson, in her arduous efforts to promote Na

tive Female Education; an effort in which God has blessed her with great success.

The gifted Bishop Heber conferred on Mr. Corrie the appointment of Archdeacon of Calcutta, in 1823, on the death of Dr. Loring; an appointment which reflected high credit on that amiable prelate's judgment, and associated the weight of responsibility and high office, with the meekness, humility, experience, fervent piety, and talent of Corrie—thus making them all more influential for the promotion of pure religion, and the good of the Church.

His appointment to the Archdeaconry did not entirely prevent him from doing something personally for the Native Congregations, so dear to him. Besides the addresses which he never failed to deliver to them on a fit opportunity, he translated Sellon's Abridgment of Scripture, the Prayer Book, and many of the Homilies, into Hindoostanee. He likewise drew up "Outlines of Ancient History," in English, for the benefit of Hindoostanee Youth. The third edition of that simple and excellent work is now issuing from the Madras Press, and will soon be in the hands of hundreds of the rising generation. Its great value consists in the tone of pure Christian principle which pervades it-making all history prove that sin is a reproach to any people, and that righteousness, and righteousness alone, exalteth a nation-that all good cometh of God, and all evil from our own corrupt hearts.

The interest which Archdeacon Corrie took in the cause of sound education may be seen in the establishment of the Calcutta High School; which valuable institution was organized and established by the judicious and holy Bishop Turner, mainly through the advice and counsel of the Archdeacon.

In 1834, after a sojourn of nearly twenty-eight years in India, Archdeacon Corrie was called to England, to be raised to that high station in the Church, for which the grace of God had so eminently qualified him. His natural powers and qualifications, a humble view of himself, simplicity of heart and purpose, bounded benevolence, and a calm sound judgment, being so sanctified by the Divine Spirit, and so turned into the channel of holiness, rendered him the object on which all eyes looked, and many hopes rested, when Madras was erected into a

un
