    At St . Helena > Anne , wife of the Ber . James Chater , one of the missionaries at Ceylon , and sister of Mrs . Sketchtey of Liverpool . Mrs . Chater was possessed of talent and much sensibility , and' her attention having been directed early in life to the religious state of die Heathen world , by the powerful preaching antf

    conversation of her uncle , the late Rev . John Thomas , founder of the Baptist Mission to the East , ( see the " Baptist Periodical Accounts , " ) she married in 1806 with the ekpress design of becoming personally useful to that Mission , but a fast-increasing family , and a climate

    destructive to her health and constitution , caused her some disappointment as it regarded the primary object of her voluntary exile ; a disappointment of . > which she speaks in the most pathetic language in some of her private letters . In 1815 , she suffered the loss of her two elder

    sons , on their passage to this country for education , in the Arniston sloop of war , which was wrecked on the coast of Africa , and in which perished at the same time Lord and Lady Moles worth , who had

    taken the children under their protection during the passage . From that period Mrs . Chater ' s health became so much impaired as to destroy her public usefulness ,, and oblige her to relinquish a school which she had till then conducted in Colombo

    for the benefit of the Missionary funds . In March last , having already borne ten children in India , and being again in a state of pregnancy , her physicians recommenced her return for one year to her native land , assuring her that they believed two months at sea would restore

    her to her original health . The embarkation of herself and seven children , leaving her husband at Columbo on account of his Missionary engagements , was the last important effort of her firm , and courageous , mind . On their arrival at SU Helena , being in a state of such extreme debility as to make it necessary to the

    saving of her life that she should land and await there her delivery , she diet so , retaining her two younger children , infants of one and three years , with her , while her five elder ones were separated ^ from her to proceed , under the care ) of the captain , to England . On the 18 th ^ of May , fwit day » after their departure , » he

    was delivered of femate twfaisyani * hefr constitution being now in a J&ateiof i ^ pid exhaustion , she expired < on the £ tto of Jane , leaving * an inteiiest *» g family- of nine children , the eldest pf wbom » i but iust turned of nine years ; The ftmr infants oat St .

The family w Mrs . Cnater owe him the most \ nib 6 undei gratitude , and while they record his name and his deeds in itifcperishing / Baemorialsof eartls > they believe them to be already written

    in heaven . Although Mrs . € &ater < & * in circumstances of almost unparalleled trial , in a land of strangers , and severed from every earthly foiend , her la » ienting relatives have consolation in believing-, that as she lived in the fear and the

    service of God , she died in the exercise of that faith which , ' realizing the Divine presence , makes the chamber of death ' " the gate of heaven * " r f
