It is interesting to note how the Home Board looked upon Carey's engaging in secular work.

Fuller, alarmed lest he should "allow the spirit of the missionary to be swallowed up in the pursuits of the merchant," wrote him a letter of "serious and affectionate caution. So that had not the missionaries engaged in secular pursuits they would have perished. Carey's reply shows a magnanimous spirit; for he wrote, "I can only say that, after my family's obtaining a bare subsistence, my whole income, and some months more, goes for the purpose of the Gospel, in supporting persons to assist in the translation of the Bible, in writing copies of it, and in teaching school.

I am, indeed, poor, and shall always be so, until the Bible is published in Bengali and Hindustani, and the people want no further instruction.

Moving to Serampore. In , because of a great flood, the factory was closed and Carey was for the time puzzled to know what move to make next. The years just closed had been particularly valuable in preparation, but with little spiritual results. Just a short time before, Marshman and Ward with others had arrived at Serampore. They had come to join Carey, but the English authorities under no condition would grant this, and so they stopped at Serampore, on the west bank of the Hooghly, only fourteen miles above Calcutta. He not only received the missionaries kindly, but aided them in buying a suitable compound.

All his acts were cheerfully confirmed by the home government in Copenhagen. When Carey and his family came to this new station in January, , he found a home, congenial fellow-laborers, and formed lasting friendships. At once they established schools and began preaching the Gospel. Before the end of the year, Carey had the privilege of baptizing Krishna Pal, his first Hindoo convert, who proved faithful and most efficient until his death in In a copy of the New Testament in Bengali, printed by Mr.

Ward, was presented to the Marquis of Wellesley, Governor General, who expressed great pleasure in their missionary labors in Serampore.

Missionary Methods and Results. The missionaries planned to live as one family to keep expenses at a minimum and to afford each one all the time possible for direct missionary work. While the plan had to be abandoned when younger workers came to the field, it is interesting to note the rules governing them and the results: "No one shall be in preeminence; no one shall engage in any private trade; no one shall shrink from any worldly pursuit assigned him by the body, and profits arising therefrom shall not be as private but appropriated by the majority.

In a mission was established in Cutwa; in , in spite of opposition, another was started in Calcutta. Within a few years some twenty stations had been established in Hindustan, and other cities had received the messengers of Christ gladly. A Fruitful Life. Self-denial was not the only mark of Carey's life. Thoro system enabled him to accomplish much work. Up at , reading a chapter in the Hebrew Bible, "private addresses to God," family prayers with the Bengali servants, reading Persian till tea, translating Scriptures in Hindustani from Sanskrit, teaching at the college from ten till two, correcting proof sheets of Bengali translating of Jeremiah, translating Matthew into Sanskrit, spending one hour with a pundit on Telinga, at seven collecting thoughts for a sermon, preaching at to forty persons, translating Bengali till eleven, writing a letter home, reading a chapter from the Greek New Testament and commending himself to God as he lay down to sleep, is a sample of one day's work.

It would appear that Carey's chief work of life was to make translation of the Scriptures and it was his joy before the close of life to see "more than , volumes of the Divine Word, in forty different languages, issue from the Serampore press. About he was appointed professor of Sanskrit, Bengali and Marathi in Williams College, Calcutta, which position he held for thirty years.

In Brown University, U. He wrote articles on the natural history and botany of India for the Asiatic Society; he published the entire Bible in the Bengali in five volumes in East India Company Changed. As is well known in history, for reasons personal to the members of this company it was bitterly opposed to any missionary enterprise in India. Every avenue was guarded.

Carey went to India under a foreign flag and landed on soil not controlled by this company. It was only because it did not know, that he lived five years in Bengal. More than once the struggling mission was nearly destroyed by its persistent opposition. But in the company's charter expired.

Carey had looked to this time, and thru the instrumentality of friends at home, a clause was inserted in the new grant which gave freedom for the missionary enterprise. The Suttee [ sati ] Ended. In Carey witnessed the first burning of an India widow at the funeral of her husband. He was deeply moved and implored the English Government to prohibit such horrors. For some reason the practice was undisturbed until , when Lord William Bentinck was made Governor General. One of his first acts was to have this cruel custom absolutely stopped.

On December 4, , the necessary edict was signed and given to Carey to translate into Bengali, in order that it might be published in both languages. The message reached him Sunday morning. Withdrawal from the Board. Men of such ability as Carey naturally would make progress far ahead of the ordinary rank and file of the church at home. It is not surprising then that differences arose between the workers at Serampore and the Society at home over the management and ownership of the mission.

The manuscript is in an extremely small character, unlike what might have been expected from one who had wrought with his hands for eight years. French he acquired, sufficiently for literary purposes, in three weeks from the French version of Ditton on the Resurrection, which he purchased for a few coppers.

He had the linguistic gift, which soon after made the young carpenter Mezzofanti of Bologna famous and a cardinal. But the gift would have been buried in the grave of his penury and his circumstances had his trade been almost any other, and had he not been impelled by the most powerful of all motives.

He never sat on his stall without his book before him, nor did he painfully toil with his wallet of new-made shoes to the neighbouring towns or return with leather without conning over his lately acquired knowledge, and making it forever, in orderly array, his own. He so taught his evening school and his Sunday congregations that the teaching to him, like writing to others, stereotyped or lighted up the truths. Indeed, the school and the cobbling often went on together--a fact commemorated in the addition to the Hackleton signboard of the Piddington nail on which he used to fix his thread while teaching the children.

But that, which sanctified and directed the whole throughout a working life of more than half a century, was the missionary idea and the missionary consecration. He has been and still is in connection with a society of people at Hackleton. He is occasionally engaged with acceptance in various places in speaking the Word.

He bears a very good moral character. He is desirous of being sent out from some reputable church of Christ into the work of the ministry.

Meeting W. Carey appeared before the Church, and having given a satisfactory account of the work of God upon his soul, he was admitted a member. He had been formerly baptised by the Rev. Ryland, jun. Carey, in consequence of a request from the Church, preached this Evening. After which it was resolved that he should be allowed to go on preaching at those places where he has been for some time employed, and that he should engage again on suitable occasions for some time before us, in order that farther trial may be made of ministerial gifts.

The case of Brother Carey was considered, and a unanimous satisfaction with his ministerial abilities being expressed, a vote was passed to call him to the Ministry at a proper time. This evening our Brother William Carey was called to the work of the Ministry, and sent out by the Church to preach the Gospel, wherever God in His providence might call him.

Carey must often have seen the poet during the twenty years, which he spent in the corner house of the market-square, and in the walks around. He must have read the poems of , which for the first time do justice to missionary enterprise. He must have hailed what Mrs. He may have been fired with the desire to imitate Whitefield, in the description of whom, though reluctant to name him, Cowper really anticipated Carey himself: THE north road, which runs for twelve miles from Northampton to Kettering, passes through a country known last century for the doings of the Pytchley Hunt.

Stories, by no means exaggerated, of the deep drinking and deeper play of the club, whose gatehouse now stands at the entrance of Overstone Park, were rife, when on Lady Day William Carey became Baptist preacher of Moulton village, on the other side of the road. Moulton was to become the birthplace of the modern missionary idea; Kettering, of evangelical missionary action. No man in England had apparently a more wretched lot or more miserable prospects than he.

Trade was good for the moment, and he had married, before he was twenty, one who brought him the most terrible sorrow a man can bear. He had no sooner completed a large order for which his predecessor had contracted than it was returned on his hands.

From place to place he wearily trudged, trying to sell the shoes. Fever carried off his first child and brought himself so near to the grave that he sent for his mother to help in the nursing.
