Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Directors to the Missionary Society, at Their Nineteenth General Meeting, on Thursday, May 13, 1813: With a Postscript and Appendix Mr. Bartlett, and William Corner (the negro from Demerara) continues to labour with his accustomed zeal. The news of Dr. Van der Kemp's death deeply affected his congregation; and Mr. Read, in a letter dated soon after that event took place, says, I consider the Society, and Bethelsdorp, yea, the whole church, has, by his death, experienced the severest loss it could have sustained. We are not ashamed to declare our belief that his equal is not to be found upon earth, and that he was little behind the chiefest apostles of our Lord. Notwithstanding the removal of this excellent man, religion appears still to prosper at Bethelsdorp. In'a letter dated Au gust 8, 1812, Mr. Read says, It will afford no small pleasure to the Directors and friends of the Society to hear that the Lord continues his kindness to Bethelsdorp, and that we have visible proofs that the gospel of Christ is the power of God to the salvation of sinners, of which he relates some' singular instances, and adds, I have baptized nine adults since my re turn from the Cape, and there are' many more who give us pleasing hopes of their interest in Christ. Mr. Read also says, We have in contemplation several plans by which the expenses are not only 'likely to\be lessened, but wholly done away. Indeed, if the Institution continue to ourish as it has done, the people will soon be able to support the Missionaries themselves.
