de. That is, never to abandon any good undertaking
on account of difficulties. Some unlooked-for circumstance may arise
to crown our endeavours with success. The crew of the Runnymede had
lost every thing but hope, when deliverance came to them unexpectedly.
We would conclude with one question to the benevolent and religious;
to those who desire to promote the civilization of the heathen. Can
nothing be done to christianize the ferocious tribes of the Andamans?
Let it be remembered what the New Zealand cannibals and the wild
bushmen of South Africa were before missionaries went amongst them,
compared with what they now are; and then let endeavours be made use
of, in reliance upon heaven's blessing, to bring these poor creatures
out of the lowest state of darkness and degradation into one of
Christianity and happiness.
THE END.
