The scene illustrated above took place at the Bay of Islands in December , just prior to Marsden conducting the first Christian service on New Zealand soil during Christmas Day On reaching the shore, Ruatara boldly went forth to the hostile camp, and after explaining that some white men desired a friendly conference with them, retreated to his own party.

An interval of almost breathless suspense succeeded. What was the result to be- peace or war- reconciliation or a deadlier feud? Shortly, a woman was seen advancing from the Whangaroan crowd of warriors, flourishing a red mat round her head, and crying out "Haromai, Haromai," Come hither, come hither.

This was said to be the symbol of pacific intentions, and the visitors approached. The warriors, seizing their spears, brandished them, as if in fury, against one another; yells, shrieks and roars vexed the air; while the frightful gesticulations and horrible contortions of face and limb were suggestive of the writhing of fiends. Yet this terrifying demonstration was their war-dance of welcome!

Conversation ensued Samuel Marsden was an English-born Anglican cleric and a prominent member of the Church Missionary Society, believed to have introduced Christianity to New Zealand. Hurd and Houghton, New York, This must be one of Benwell's earliest depictions of an Arabian Middle-Eastern scene. He must have been inspired to visit the region not long afterwards.

In he produced one of his earliest known painted watercolour Middle-Eastern scenes, 'The Meeting Place'. This stick, which has thus been perpetrated for for nearly four thousand years, upon granite, and basalt, and marble, is identical in form and proportions with that carried by almost every Arab in our days from the Euphrates to the NIle. The sandals, too, have as high an antiquity, and there is every probability that when Joseph guided his wife and the infant Saviour of the world across the shorter desert separating Egypt from the land over which Herod tyrannized, that he met with many a group like that in our engraving, and may himself have carried such a stick, and worn such sandals.

A larger version of this illustration appears in the Sunday at Home, Life of Swartz Part 1 , Sunday at Home In hope of obtaining the protection of the king, he boldly resolved to proceed to Ava and to seek an audience". His dress was rich but not distinctive; and he carried in his hand the gold-sheathed sword, which seems to have taken the place of the sceptre of ancient times.

He stopped, partly turned toward us: 'Who are these? When did you arrive? Are you teachers of religion?

Are you like the Portuguese priest? Are you married? Why do you dress so?

Our distress was great. We had two tents pitched at a place about seven miles distant, which might serve for a temporary shelter, and removed the sick boys in carts. It being the dry season, we had no fear of rain; but we had not gone far before a terrific tempest came on, and they were all drenched through. Evening was coming on: I looked around, and saw not far off a native inn for pilgrims a serai , and I went to it to ascertain if they could give us a lodging for the night.

The man answered, "This serai was built for holy pilgrims, not for such as you -outcasts and barbarians. If you will die, die; and the sooner such unclean outcasts die, the better. The magazine ceased publication in By her side stands the shubeeni, who has removed her veil; in front are seated a row of friends, singing and clapping their hands; while behind and around are a posse of inquisitive old women, ready to applaud every separate gift as it is brought to light. Some have given portions of clothing, some caps, some slippers, some trumpery jewellery; and the rest comprises articles of grocery, sweetmeats, and toys; there is even a couple of live chickens, with legs tied together, and which flutter and screech most discordantly Leigh, who were grieved that one in whom they took so much interest should have become a Methodist.

So were these good people despised by many in those days. At this time Robert's worldly prospects were brightening, and a position of honor and comfort seemed opening before him. But the anticipations of that day were not to be.

Apparently unimportant events frequently determine the whole course of our lives, and a simple incident was now about to change the current of this young man's life, and to convert the rising gardener into the God-honored and much-beloved missionary. How this came to pass we now relate:. While at High Leigh, Robert Moffat had occasion to visit Warrington, a town about six miles distant He set off one calm summer evening.

All nature seemed at rest, and thoughts of God and a feeling of admiration for His handiworks took possession of the young man's mind. His life was reviewed, and with thoughts full of hope he entered the town. Passing over a bridge he noticed a placard. It contained the announcement of a missionary meeting, over which the Rev. William Roby, of Manchester, was to preside.

He had never seen such an announcement before. He read the placard over and over again, and, as he did so, the stories told by his mother of the Moravian missionaries in Greenland and Labrador, which had been forgotten for years, came vividly to mind. From that moment, his choice was made; earthly prospects vanished: his one thought was, "how to become a missionary? Many difficulties seemed to stand in the way between Robert and the accomplishment of his desire, but the same Divine power which had implanted the desire, prepared the way for its fulfilment.

He visited Manchester, shortly after the event just related, to be present at a Wesleyan Conference; and while there, with much hesitancy and trepidation, ventured to knock at the door of Mr.

Roby's house and request an interview with that gentleman. He was shown into the parlour, and the man whom he had been hoping, yet dreaded, to see, quickly made his appearance. The result of this interview was a promise on Mr. Roby's part to write to the Directors of the London Missionary Society concerning him, and to communicate their wishes to him as soon as they were received. In the meantime Robert returned to his ordinary occupation. After waiting a few weeks a summons came from Mr. Roby for Moffat to visit Manchester again; and, with the view of his studying under the care and instruction of that reverend gentleman, it was arranged that he should accept a situation in a nursery garden belonging to Mr.

Smith, at Dukinfield, that place being near at hand. Moffat continued here about a year, visiting Mr. Roby once or twice each week. Smith were a pious and worthy couple, and their house was a house of call for ministers. They were always ready for every good work whether at home or abroad. Robert Moffat's desire was for the glory of God and the extension of the Redeemer's kingdom, and God was not only opening the way for His servant, but was preparing a faithful and devoted helpmate for him in his various spheres of labor through life.

Robert's employer had an only daughter, named Mary, beautiful of countenance, but more beautiful in heart. She had been educated at the Moravian school at Fairfield, and was distinguished for fervent piety and deep sympathy with the missionary cause. The two young folks were thrown together, mutual esteem deepened into love, and the maiden, possessed with so large a missionary spirit, was prepared to share the lot of the young herald of the Cross. For a time, however, it was ordained that Robert should pursue his course alone.

After being at Dukinfield nearly a year, the Directors resolved to accept the services of Robert Moffat. He left Mr. Smith's employment and removed to Manchester, so that he might be close to Mr. Roby, to receive such superintendence as was possible in his studies.
