Excerpt from Journal of a Tour in Ceylon and India, Undertaken at the Request of the Baptist Missionary Society, in Company With the Rev. J. Leechman, M. A: With Observations and Remarks Small and of no great promise to the eye was the seed which was planted in the plains of India when Dr. Carey entered the factory at Mudnabatty, but it was the seed of the kingdom of God. It was sown in faith, it germinated amid griefs and fears, its tender blade was fanned with the zephyrs of prayer. Slowly did it grow, adding at intervals to the parent stem a few branching boughs. As it rose higher, strengthened by sunshine and storm, the branches multiplied, and the pleasant foliage of spring appeared. The tree is now vigorous, and putting forth buds of promise innumerable. "Lo! winter is past: the rain is over and gone, the flowers appear on the earth, the time of the singing of birds is come." Such is the aspect of the kingdom of God in India at the present time. Years of difficulty and toil, of manful assault on the citadel of Satan, are beginning to show that, mighty and deeply rooted as are the mythologies and philosophies of Brahma and Budha, the gospel is mightier still.
