sometimes has gone on journeys to the markets and villages around, to endeavor to give a wider range to these silent messengers of truth. His method of conversing with the people is fearless and engaging, and his ready utterance in Malay, and fervency in prayer, are delightful and encouraging. He attends the convict lines on those alternate Sundays when I am prevented from going, and I hear that he is generally well received. It is to be lamented that his health is rather infirm, and occasionally there is a little lightness about him, which I could wish to see remedied; but, generally speaking, his conduct is consistent, and, from his zealous and fervent spirit, if kept humble, we may hope that he will one day prove very useful. He is employed as an assistant in the mission, in transcribing, binding, and distributing tracts. The elderly woman, who joined the church with him, has ever since given us uniform satisfaction, and her contrite and humble deportment, connected with a negleet of the world, and a zeal for God, have afforded us unfeigned pleasure. peans, forty or fifty have been easily distributed in one morning; and, on one occasion, 150 were put into the hands of the people in one market-day. To those who know the backward disposition of the Malays towards all intercourse with Euroand the deadly prejudices of Mohammedans against Christianity, and who have been accustomed, as I have been for more than ten years, to see them turn a deaf ear to religious instruction, and shun a tract as they would infection, this change must appear great indeed. I attribute it, in some measure, to the more beautiful type, neat form, and interesting subjects, of the tracts lately published by Mr. Thomson at Singapore, but chiefly to the relaxed prejudices and more liberal views of the natives themselves, brought about, I would hope, by the powerfuf interference of our almighty Savior in their behalf. The Chinese schools contain about forty boys. A plan has been suggested for the organization of a school or school-book society, for the Malayan and Javanese population of the island; embracing the establishment of a school at each residency, and four in Batavia. It is hoped that this plan may be carried into effect. Mr. M. has already established one Malay school near the mission-house, containing eight scholars. He has also an English school. In addition to the above two individuals, two more, a middle aged man and an elderly woman, have come forward, requesting to be admitted to church privileges; they attend every week, with the others, for reading the Scriptures and prayer; but we have not yet observed in them that proficiency in knowledge, or that decidedly evangelical turn of mind, which was so conspicuous in the others; we, therefore, keep them still on probation. A Malay boy, who has been in our family several years, and has been taught by Mrs. Medhurst to read and write, both Malay Hok-kien* Dictionary-New Testament in Low and English, has afforded us encouragement to hope there is in him some good thing towards the Lord. Labors among the Chinese. The Chinese, among whom I go almost every day, continue to receive me, and listen to what I say. I generally prevail on them to take a book at the close of the conversation, and sometimes am enabled to bring them into a very serious frame. The main doctrines of the gospel form the subject of every conversation, with, sometimes, occasional exposures of their superstitions and errors; but I have still to exercise great patience in waiting for the first fruits among them; nevertheless, I have no doubt that, in due time, we shall reap, if we faint not. The Chinese Laesam-choe, to whom I have frequently referred, has since displayed great weakness of mind, bordering on insanity; and, for the last two or three months, I have been prevented from visiting him, owing to inundations which abound in the district where he resides. Many Chinese tracts have been distributed during the last half year, and some have been recently given to a well-disposed captain of a Hamburg vessel, who is about to visit the coast of China, and who has promised to endeavor to distribute them for us. Two boxes of Chinese tracts, sent by a Junk last year to Mr. Gutzlaff in Siam, were thrown into the sea, on the voyage, at the instigation of some of the Chinese of Batavia. The distribution of Malay tracts during the past year has been unprecedented, so as to exhaust all our stock, and oblige us to write to Singapore for more. Upwards of a thousand Malay tracts have been circulated in the immediate vicinity of Batavia, and the people in the markets have been so eager to obtain them, that Malay. I have several times alluded, both in this and former letters, to my Hok-kien dictionary, which has occupied all my leisure time during the past year. I have now the happiness to inform you that the Chinese and English part of that work has been brought to a conclusion. It occupies 800 pages of closely written quarto, and will be followed by one or two hundred more pages of preface, indexes, and appendices. It was my original attention to have written a second part, containing English and Chinese, but the first has swelled so much upon my hands, and has occupied so much more of my time and attention than I at first imagined it would, that I do not know whether I shall venture to undertake the second part; at least, not until I have first despatched a mass of more important business which has been waiting for my attention, while busy in the compilation of the former part. The select committee in China have offered to carry the work through the press without any expense to me or the society. The printing of the translation of the New Testament in Low Malay, which I am engaged in revising and bringing through the press, has advanced only to the end of the gospel of St. Mark, owing to the multiplicity of other business which required execution at the government printing-office; however, I am in hopes of seeing it completed by the end of the year. Mr. Medhurst notices the pleasant intercourse he had had with Mr. Abeel, and the assistance the latter had rendered him in his labors. * A dialect of the Chinese. Written in the journal of Mr. Abeel Fokien.-Ed. Wesleyan Missionary Society. SOUTH AFRICA. Missionary Meeting in Little Namacquland. Ar a missionary meeting held at Lily Fountain, several natives delivered addresses in their own language which were translated and forwarded by Mr. Shaw, the missionary. They are taken from the Wesleyan Missionary Notices, and show well how the poor Africans have received and understood the Gospel and its claims. JACOBUS BUKAS rose up and said,-My beloved brothers and sisters, we must understand that we have come together to-day for a great purpose: we are come together to help in spreading the gospel amongst a people who have never heard of Jesus. I thank God that I am a witness of the power of the gospel. I feel it to be the word of God. Brothers, I was formerly blind, but now I see. I was formerly polluted and sinful. I was worse than a contagious dog. I knew not that I had a soul. I knew not that there is a God in heaven. I am now thankful that the gospel has taught me that God is the great Creator of all things; that it has taught me to know that man is a great being; that he is possessed of an immortal soul, and that Jesus loved us, and gave himself for us." I am now anxious for my children. I want them to be brought up under the sound of the gospel. I want all my friends to be acquainted with it, that they may be brought to true repentance and faith in the Savior of sinners. Brothers, I stand here to-day with the same desires and designs as I had at the meeting of last year. I am ready to help, according to my ability, to send the gospel to every part of the world. On the last sabbath, we heard from our old teacher, (Rev. Barnabas Shaw,) "that all flesh is grass, that the grass withereth, and the flower thereof fadeth away; but the word of the Lord endureth for ever." We ought, therefore, to do something now. I am thankful that I ever came to Lily Fountain. Here I first heard that word which abideth for ever. I trust all my children will learn to know it also. Day and night the gospel is preached to us. Many of us profess to believe it: but, as the apostle James says, let us "show our faith by our works." never we may all receive it. Yes, he who prayed before, let him begin to-day: he who never knew any thing, let him begin to know today: he who never believed, let him believe today: he who never thought, let him begin to think to-day. The WILLIAM SNEUWE said,-Yes, my friends, it is the work of Jesus, that we are here to-day. In former days we knew nothing of these things. We had never seen or heard the missionaries; but now we both see and hear. There they are; they have left their fathers and mothers, their sisters and brothers, they have left their country and friends to preach this word to us. They came over the sea; they had seen the sea before; they knew there was no path in the sea that a waggon could go on; they knew that there were mountains in the sea; they knew the great waves would roll around them: yet they came, and Jesus took care of them that they might preach the gospel to us. They came on account of our souls. When old mynheer (B. Shaw,) first arrived, I was ill, but knew not that I was a sinner and that my soul was sick; but Jesus, by his word and Spirit, led me to know myself. Brothers, let us call upon him; let us pray in faith; let us give him our hearts. When I go and knock at the door of a friend, he opens to me; if we knock, the Lord will open to us. His word is truth. Brothers and sisters, I see no refuge but in Jesus: He is the friend of sinners. Lord gives us rain and fruitful seasons. How great is the goodness of God. We plough our fields and sow our seed, of which we knew nothing before we had the gospel; but now we know these things also. Above all, we hear of Jesus Christ, and though the ground of our hearts may be dry and unfruitful, yet when they drink in the rain of the gospel, they shall live and become green. I thank God for hope; I have good hope: of this I was formerly ignorant, I had no hope. Faith in Christ Jesus, and the influence of the Spirit of God, are as hands to help us. God has given us those hands, and they are given that we may help others. He that believes the gospel says Amen, and is diligent in all things. How long have we had the gospel? There sits the same old teacher who came to us first; the Lord has brought him back again. If you would receive the word you must change your course. When a man is going on a wrong path, another calls to him, "Come here! Come here!"-Thus the Lord called us by his gospel. Thus he is still calling: "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, I will we must change our course, and come to him. We hear and know that there are yet many in darkness. We know what that darkness is; we have felt it ourselves. We hope, therefore, that this word may go to the Damaras, &c., that they may hear and come to Jesus. JAN WILLIAM said,-Yes, brethren and sis-give you rest." Brethren, we must turn about, ters, by means of this society we have obtained the gospel; it is, therefore, our duty to do something for others. I feel as willing to help to-day, as I did the last year. It is our duty to help; and though we may not be able to do much, we must do what we can. Brothers and sisters, I feel thankful that we sit in life: through the word we have come to life; by His grace we live. God has given his grace to us; we have it in our hands; we have it in this house which has been built, this house of God. Here we can worship, here we can pray, here we may receive the everlasting gospel. Brothers, I am thankful to the Lord who brought our teachers over the sea; that is a great and mighty water; but they came safe, and here we see them to-day. Brothers, Jet us examine ourselves. We have the great word, the word of salvation, which always remains the same. Other things change, but the word of God abideth for ever. Let us pray that JAN JACOBS.-Yes, my beloved brothers and sisters, when I was in my old state, I neither knew any thing of God, nor that I had a soul. I now feel thankful for the gospel: by this, the way has been opened to us, so that I know I have a soul to be saved or lost: I wish others to know this also. Though I am very poor and cannot do much, and many here are like me, yet we can all pray, and thus help a little. In former days we were active in our old sports, and they cost us something, and profited nothing. Let us now be zealous in that which is profitable to all things. JANTJE SAMSAM,-Beloved brothers and sis ters, I am thankful to God that I know I have a soul; the word of God has taught me this, and I wish to be more grateful to the society which sent it. The society has been very powerful to send the gospel so far: I hope God will help, and it shall yet be more powerful. What do we see to-day? I never thought of seeing a chairman from a far country sitting here amongst us; but God is almighty, and Jesus the son of Mary shall yet do greater things. I love him, I love Jesus: yes, as sure as I am standing here, I know I love him. Jesus loved us; he died for us on the cross; he shed his blood for us; he helps us in all our difficulties; he has helped me. We see great things to-day. Who amongst us ever thought of seeing such a church as this on Lily Fountain? Who ever thought of seeing our old teacher again? Here he is, now sitting amongst us. Who ever thought of seeing so many teachers here? Yet all our teachers preach the same gospel: yes, though there are many teachers, the word is the same-the prayer is the same-the school is the same. Mr. Shaw proceeds I me that shortly before her partner died, he got up, and by the help of his staff he walked into the midst of his hut; he then called his children around him, and most affectionately warned and exhorted them. Before he concluded, he said, "The staff of Christ is in my hand, on this I rest: no man can ever take it from me." Soon after this he breathed his last, leaving a blessed testimony behind of the power of the gospel. And now you will join with me in the beautiful language of the sweet singer of Israel, and say, -"Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen!" United Brethren. GREENLAND. Extracts from the Diary kept at Fredericks- THESE extracts are taken from the United July 10, 1829. Four heathen men arrived here from the eastern coast. They reported, that six boats full of heathen were on their way to us, to trade with our people. They were, as usual, extremely ignorant; and though our Greenland brethren endeavored to make them attentive to the concerns of their souls, their answers showed that they were quite indifferent on the subject. They, however, expressed their wish to go to heaven, which gave our people an opportunity of explaining, upon what conditions their eternal happiness depended. 27. We celebrated our arrival here, five years ago, with thanks and praise. Oh! what has the Lord done for us since that time! On our arrival. we saw nothing but naked rocks, and no living creature but a solitary raven. We now see two European houses, and a congregation of upward of three hundred dwelling around us. There were so many persons to speak in the morning, that the meeting was adjourned till the afternoon. In the evening, brother Edwards was engaged in receiving subscriptions: the little children were running with their pence, while their parents and others offered sheep, goats, grain, &c. Having known this people in their heathenish state more than fourteen years ago, have had a fair opportunity of seeing the mighty change produced amongst them by the preaching of the everlasting gospel. Their beautiful fields of corn, which are now ripening for the harvest, speak a language which all may understand. They say, "Godliness is profitable for all things. Behold, here he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation, and sow the fields, and plant vineyards," &c. The trees of several years' growth, which are now adorned in their summer dress, and many of them laden with the choicest fruit, point to the words of the prophet: "The wilderness and solitary place shall be glad for them." The new chapel lately finished by brother Edwards, which I doubt not will stand when this generation shall have passed away, reminds the observer of that promise,"They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever." The different groups of Namacquas bending their course towards the house of prayer on the morning of the Sabbath, and frequently singing the praises of God, while they ascend the holy hill, reminds one of the following delightful prophetic description: "And many people shall go and say, Come ye and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his wavs, and we will walk in his paths; therefore, they shall come and sing in the height of Zion." The peace and good will which prevail at this institution, and reign among all classes of people, is to me an evident accomplishment of the highly fig-heads, and pearls, &c., with a view to obtain the urative prophecy of Isaiah.-"The wolf also shall dwell with the tamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid," &c. The support which several have experienced on quitting this vale of tears, and the confidence which they have manifested in the promises of the gospel, are an excitement to pray-"Let me die the death of the righteous." &c. A poor widow, with whose husband I was formerly well acquainted, informed 28. We had a visit from Mr. Mathieson, a merchant, and Mr. Wahl, a botanist, on their return from the eastern coast. They related many singular circumstances regarding their dangerous voyage, and left us, on the following day, for Julianenhaab. Of their report we will mention the following During their four months' pas. sage, they encountered great danger among the ice, and proceeded no farther than Ice-bay, eight days' voyage from hence. This bay, or fiords, is in the 62d degree of north latitude, equal to that of Frederickshaab, and near the so-called Frobisher's straits. The travellers assured us, that, farther east, there was nothing to be seen but the most frightful ice-blinks, high pointed rocks cased with ice, along which the eastern heathen pass with their boats, but never before they have made an offering of skins, favor of the Torngarsuk. Here the two gentlemen parted with their conductor, lieutenant Graah, who even sent his European servant back with them, and proceeded alone on the expedi tion, with one Greenland boat; the heathen earnestly advising him to make the aforesaid offerings. The servant related, that the whole coast was a continued range of steep rocks, with only here and there a point of land stretch Nov. 6. About this time, many of our Greenlanders were afflicted with painful boils. We did all in our power to relieve them. One of them, called Maurice, was in a most dangerous state from inflammation, and in great pain. His children sat beside his bed weeping, as his departure seemed near at hand. On visiting him, brother Kleinschmidt found the house filled with brethren and sisters, taking a silent, sympathis ing out to the sea, but so steep, that they were obliged to row whole days together, before they could approach it with a boat. The floating ice never leaves it, not even in summer, on account of the prevalence of the east winds, and there being no currents in that part of the ocean, nor any islands to defend the coast. None but Greenlanders can work their way through the masses of ice. The heathen say that the land farther north is more and more barren, and laughing share in the sufferings of the poor patient, if you speak to them of the ruins of European houses, as no Europeans could possibly exist in the country; they add, that the only ruins to be seen are those in our neighborhood. The travellers assured us, that few seals were seen on the eastern coast: but they found a cannon, (probably cast on shore by some shipwreck,) which they contrived to fire. It is used by the natives for the purpose of fastening their boats. The poor people had suffered much from hunger, and, to preserve life, had been obliged to devour the skins covering their boats, kayaks, and tents. They therefore expressed a wish to leave their wretched country, and to remove to Nennortelik,|| and to our neighborhood. Nathaniel assured us, that though the heathen reported that a great number of Greenlanders lived farther north, there could not be more than 100 or 200 living upon all that inhospitable coast. Famine may be the means of bringing them within the sound of the gospel, and they themselves say, that they mean to be converted; but one of our old brethren, who lived long amongst them, declared that they had no desire to hear the word of God. Meanwhile, we hope that Nathaniel's earnest and powerful exhortations may not have been without effect. Aug. 5. We collected and dried the grass obtained from our land. Our live stock consists of five goats, and seven fowls, which seem to thrive well. Sept. 1. A sick heathen widow was visited by brother Kleinschmidt. She earnestly requested baptism, and appeared truly awakened, and desirous of experiencing the grace of our Savior. She declared, that she ought long ago to have yielded to conviction, having, while still among the heathen, had a dream that she had seen three Europeans enter her tent, and exhort her to turn to God; but she had neglected it from year to year, and now repented continuing so long in her heathen state. Her tent was so low, that we had to creep into it, and during the service, the congregation stood without; but, even in this miserable hut, the presence of the Lord was most sensibly felt; when, after a suitable discourse and prayer, the poor inmate was baptised, and called Christina. 7. Three boats full of heathen arrived; and the next day, twenty of these people came and begged us to take down their names, declaring their intention to forsake all their heathenish customs, and to seek to know our Savior. To all that we said to them, they returned answers which raised our compassion. "We are ignorant," they said, "and understand nothing; but desire to live here, and to learn the way of salvation." They were informed of the rules to be observed by the inhabitants of this place, and all promised to obey them. 15. Brother De Fries arrived here in safety, with 976 pieces of timber, sent from Copenhagen, toward the building of our church; which we consider a proof of the mercy and protection of our heavenly Father. who lay with clasped hands, expecting to depart, and in broken accents expressed his confidence in the mercy and atonement of our Savior. Brother Kleinschmidt, after a suitable address, sang some verses treating of the love of Jesus. The poor patient was so much strengthened, that he declared, his spirit had, as it were, returned to him. In the morning his children came, and with joy announced that their father had slept, and was recovering In these days our usual winter regulations took place, and we began our daily worship and schools with prayer. Nathaniel addressed the congregation in the morning, in a short but very impressive discourse, to the following effect:"My dear countrymen, whenever I am called upon to speak to you, I am ready to tremble with a sense of my unworthiness; but I remember the mercy our Savior showed to me, and that he has commanded us to make known to each other, what he has done and suffered for us. I know that he became man for me; that for me he went to the garden of Gethsemane, wept and prayed, and his sweat was, as it were, great drops of blood falling down to the ground; for me he died. Why did he suffer thus? Oh! forget not that it was to deliver us all from the power and curse of sin; therefore do not sin against his mercy, for he calls you to eternal happiness," &c. In the course of the year 1829, 14 children have been born at Fredericksthal, two of whom departed before baptism; 19 adult heathen were baptised, and seventeen persons admitted to the holy communion; two couples were married; seven baptised, and five unbaptised adults, departed this life. The congregation of Greenlanders at this place consisted, at the close of the year, of 271 baptised adults and children; of whom 119 are communicants. To these, if seventy-nine heathen who reside with us, be added, the whole number of souls under ourcare will amount to 350; 36 more than at the close of 1828. Jan. 19. We celebrated the anniversary of the Greenland mission, and had the pleasure to munion, and to confirm 10 others for the first receive 10 persons as candidates for the comparticipation, which is the largest number since the formation of this settlement. Among the latter were three young women, who, ever since their baptism, have shown remarkable diligence and devout attention to the word of God. They have likewise learned to read well, and are useful in the congregation as readers. Feb. 7. Six heathen were baptised, and six admitted among the candidates. The Greenlanders were about this time particularly successful in their fishery. 13. In speaking with the baptised, we had cause to thank the Lord for the proofs of his grace, manifested amongst them. Among the four persons confirmed on the 18th, was a young woman, who, as a heathen, had been remarkably wild and profligate, but, ever since her baptism, she has been very quiet and attentive to every kind of Christian instruction. After her confirmation, she exclaimed, "Oh, how could I be so blind and so wicked? I am truly ashamed before the Lord; and notwithstanding I deserved to be cut off, he has had mercy upon a wretch like me!" She truly rejoices in her Savior. One of the brethren had been rowing the whole night in his kayak, with a seal in tow. He said, "How could I stay where I was? My soul hungers and thirsts after the Lord and his communion." the proclamation of his gospel, and the administration of the holy sacraments, according to the institution of our Lord Jesus Christ; and we lay its foundation in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, on the 5th April, 1830.' [Here follows a doxology from the Litany of the Brethren's church, with a particular reference to the mercy of God, displayed toward the inhabitants of Greenland.] 'Whereas, according to the gracious counsel of God, Hans Egede was the first Danish missionary to Greenland in 1721; he was followed, in 1733, by the brethren Christian David, Matthew Stach, and Christian Stach, who began to establish a mission in this country at New Herrnhut. In 1758 the brethren Matthew Stach, Jens Haven, and Peter Haven, formed a second settlement at Lichtenfels; and, in 1774, the brethren John Soerensen and John Gottfried Grillich, a third at Lichtenau. Fifty years after, viz. in 1824, the brethren John Conrad Kleinsch 27. In the morning service, the assistant, Nathaniel, spoke to the following effect:-"My brethren, I am not worthy to speak to you; but it is as if the Lord said to me, 'As you have so long served sin, you shall now not sit idle, but serve me; for I have forgiven your innumerable offences, and you shall tell others that they may receive forgiveness of their sins, if they will come to me, and believe in my words.' I therefore am glad to speak to you of your Savior, though I know that I am a sinful mortal; but he has borne all my sins on the tree, and his blood can cleanse from all sin and unrighteousness.midt, his wife, Christina, and the single brethren Therefore, come to him, and consider what he has done and suffered for you. He is continually reminding you of what it cost him to redeem your souls; and if we still remain indifferent about it, and neglect to obey him, we commit new sins, crucify him afresh, and do despite to the Spirit of grace. Therefore, avoid giving way to sin, and fly to him for preservation against it," &c. John Frederick Baus and Arnold de Fries, established the mission at Fredericksthal, by permission of Frederick VI., king of Denmark. On the first of September, the firstling of this flock, Samuel Ivenak, was baptised into the death of Jesus.' After the singing of a few verses, and pronouncing the blessing, brother Kleinschmidt delivered the box to brother de Fries, who placed it within the foundation-stone. Brother Kleinsch Foundation of a New Church-Origin of the midt, then, kneeling upon the stone, offered up Mission. Scarcely any thing can exceed the warmth, cheerfulness, and simplicity of the following description by the Brethren of the ceremony of laying the corner stone of their new church, on the 5th of April. The beauty of the description is greatly enhanced by a thought of the cold and lonely regions where the scene occurred. The Greenland congregation had been previously informed, that, on the first fine day, we purposed, God willing, to perform the above ceremony, which should be made known to them by the blowing of some hymn tunes on wind instruments very early in the morning. The 5th of April being ushered in with a beautiful sunrise, all arose at the sound of the instruments, and in a short time, small and great appeared, dressed in their neatest apparel, in devout expectation of the blessing of the Lord upon this festival. The old meeting-place could hardly contain the number of hearers. The service commenced with a hymn of praise, and that well known verse, "The Lord has ever to his flock, Kept without separation,' &c. after which, in a short address, the aim of our meeting was explained, and the congregation exhorted to praise the Lord for the mercies he had bestowed upon them. We then went in procession to the place appointed for building, where part of the litany was prayed, and a short discourse delivered; after which, the following document was read aloud, previous to its being deposited in the foundation-stone; 'As the house of God is to be a house of prayer for all nations, we dedicate this building to the glory of God, for prayer and supplication, dedicating this house to after which the congregation was dismissed with We were glad to have our whole congregation with us on this solemn occasion, except two brethren, who could not arrive in time. The service was attended with a remarkable percep tion of the presence of our Ood and Savior, and left a sensible impression upon the minds of the Greenlanders present. Letter from Brother De Fries. The letter from which the extract is taken is dated April 18th, 1830. It exhibits much of the spirit of a missionary. Oh how thankful ought we to be to our gracious Lord, for having led us by his good providence to the place where we at present reside. What a comfort it is to know that we have in heaven a counsellor and friend, as wise as he is merciful! To be guided with his eye, to lean upon his arm, and to depend steadfastly upon his divine word and promise; truly this is the highest wisdom to which we can attain, the only unerring polar star by which we can steer our course through this world. Many are the experiences which we make of this truth during our service in this distant and desolate region. A servant of Christ must here learn to walk softly, and to live humbly with his God. If he would aim at any thing higher, he becomes an object of scorn and ridicule. Is he anxious to have justice done him, where can he find a judge? Does he appear in fine clothing, it is admired at his expense. Is he |
