    hatred of vice , the personal , relative , and . social duties , should be inculcated . The most bigoted idolater in India , if left to his own unbiassed impressions , arid not rendered suspicious by attempts at proselytism , would not object , to his children being taught the plain and undoubted , facts , truths , and duties of

    religion . The Coninuttee , are aware that thjs simplification of religion to the minds of native you . th would be the best preparation for their reception of Christianity when they come to mature years and judgment ; hut this is an advantage gained openly ajid fairly , in consistence with the known religious

    character of parents and children , and in such , a way as to cherish , support , and strengthen , the best princi p les of human nature , instead of oppressing their intellect and obscuring their moral perceptions by Indoctrinating them , with distinctions and opinions which are beyoud the reach of their faculties .
