Though surround edvvitl % opposers , he ^ fe log a * banted t ^ assert the pure TJnitarfan Faith , and confess Himself as one of those who own the
crucified man , Jesus of Nazareth , to be their ouly spiritual head under God the Creator . Chiiiiah , some time after his conversion , began to have divine worship To his house ou Sundays ; by degrees some have joined him and become regular bearers and converts . In the appendix to the second ~ memoir regpectin ^ the Unitarian mission in Bengal , p . 59 , some
account is given of an Unitarian Christian , by name Robert Macdonald , at Moelrayue ; that man is one of Chiniah ' s converts . Chiniah first used to write me occasionally , but afterwards his communications became more frequent and interesting . I have from time to time sent him plenty of English books and Tamil ones as soon as they were
printed . Chiuiah is a married man , but has no children ; he has an adopted young man whom he educates . His congregation at pieseat , with his own , I think , are four families . and six mea individuals ; to these , three families from Madras have joined ; their number , with thtsh- children , will be about thirty . While I was writing this , Chiniah's letter , dated 13 th of the preseut mouth , came to my hand , in which he says , that
tliey have , on the 18 th April last , dedicated the little chapel that he built , after prayer . The Her . Richard Wright's discourse , the Comprehensiveness and Practical Importance of the Doctrine of the Divine Unity , Gal . iii . 20 , " God is oue , " [ which 1 have translated in Tamil and sent him a copy of it , ] was read . On the day following , Sunday , 19 th , they received the Lord ' s supper in the chapel . The chapel is tweuty-one feet in length , thirteen feet wide , and nine high ; has

Besides some little expenses unavoidable in keeping up public
