First Pastoral Charge. We were on the summit of the high est range of mountains in the provinces. The tall timber trees at the first ascent had dwindled into a thick growth of stunted bamboos, unmixed with a single shrub. of frost, but have retained the countenance of youth for untold centuries, like the antediluvian patriarchs. Tavoy point loomed up high in the northwest, crowned with its famous pagoda, built by the king of Pugan in 1204, the same year the crusaders took Constantinople, about the time that Genghis Khan founded the Mogul empire, which covered the globe from the Yellow Sea to the Baltic; when the English nation was extortThe path, which was narrow ing Magna Charta from king John, and steep, had reached a level spot, that while they were submitting to pay tribhad been in the rains the wallowing ute to the Pope. In the direction of place of a rhinoceros; for it has the habit Mergui on the southwest, the mountain of wallowing in the mire no less than the limestone rocks towered in grotesque hog and the buffalo. Here we seated peaks among the ocean's waves, indentourselves to rest, and Quala cut down ed with subterranean gulfs, where the some of the bamboos before us, which fearless Malay searches in his frail bark interrupted our view on the west. The for the edible birds' nests on the crags spotless blue heavens were over our within. Karen hamlets lay hidden at heads, while the clouds, like snow drifts, intervals throughout the wide extended were seen moving lazily far beneath our forest below; but not a single professor feet, insulating many a hill with their of religion in one of them. "When fleecy waves, or hanging to the summit shall these vales resound with the songs of some hoary precipice, like a gigantic of the redeemed? When shall we look canopy. Pyeekhya, Patsauoo, and Pal-down on Christian churches in these ouk rivers were discovered here and green fields?" I asked Quala, as we there, peeping from beneath their green eyelashes, as they wandered through glens and gorges, dale and valley and dingle, that never knew the searing effects rose, and, turning from the glorious picture before us, descended into the dark valley of the Tenasserim. "Hereafter, teacher, hereafter,” replied Hope. Years rolled by before we stood again on that mountain's summit, and gazed again on that prospect of forest and ocean, hill and highland, islet and inlet. The face of nature, ever beautiful as paradise, was unchanged; but we could almost hear "Rock of ages, cleft for me," resound from Pyeekhya at our feet, where Quala was pastor of a church of a hundred members, and echoed from the hills and rocks of Patsauoo, Palouk and Toungbyouk on the north, where little churches had grown up under our labors during the interval. When we turned our eyes south, we saw the mountains that throw their shadows over the churches of Palaw, Katay, Kapa or Themboung, and Kapyau or Kabin, where our feet in the former journey had been first to tread their hills with the message of salvation. "God will do greater things than these," observed Hope, as we conversed on what God had wrought. The remark was prophetic. Another interval of ten years found us seated together on the crumbling battlements of Toungoo, beneath the tall shadows of the Bghai and Mauniepgha mountains with the whole untouched field spread out before us, where he has gathered four times as many churches and five times as many converts in a tenth of the time. mittee I wrote at the time,-"Sau Quala is the assistant that has been writing by my side every rains for eight or ten years; and he has been the almost constant companion of my travels ever since I entered the mission. With him I first began the study of the Karen language; and with him I commenced the translation of the New Testament, and he has continued with me throughout the work. Besides copying for me, I have constantly consulted him, as I went along, for words, their signification, and their construction, precisely as, in cultivated languages, a student consults his dictionaries and grammars. While I have thus been gathering knowledge from him, I have not been unmindful of imparting knowledge to him. I have often thought that, could I leave him, when my labors close on earth, an able minister of the New Testament, I should not have labored in vain; and, latterly, I have indulged the pleasing hope that God would more than fulfil my desire, and make him a useful minister even while I live. Formerly his mind was exceedingly obtuse, as are the minds of uncultivated people generally; and utterly unable to make any rational distinction between words and things that differed; but he now possesses, comparatively, quite a discriminating mind, and I am sometimes surprised at the nice distinctions that he occasionally points out, as existing between the significations of words. I do not suppose there is any one of his nation that can make any approach to him, in the matter of judicious criticism on Karen composition. This is saying nothing to the disparagement of any one else; for no other has had the same years of discipline that he has had. He has, however, acquired something more valuable than a knowledge of criticism; he has obtained a very tolerable knowledge of the principal parts of the New Testament, and of the sentiments of the Scriptures in general. He has copied all my translations at least twice, and I have always In my report to the Executive Com- told him to ask questions about any When the Karen New Testament was completed, the necessities of the mission seemed to require that I should pause from my labors in the translating department, and give my exclusive attention to the instruction of the native assistants. Accordingly I commenced a Karen Theological School, in 1842. At the close of the first year, I placed Quala in charge of the church at Pyeekhya, which, being the largest and at the same time the most central, gave him a position where his influence might be felt throughout the whole southern country. Excepting the administration of the ordinances, he was the pastor of the church from the beginning, but he was not ordained till five years afterwards. |
