May 31st.

Another Lords Day, the third of our residence in this strange land, in the afternoon I had a service in the English language the carpenters shop was fitted up for the occasion and I had an excellent and attentive congregation of my own countrymen, to whom I recommended righteousness of life from the death of the righteous being so desirable. A considerable number of the Natives were present to witness the “karakia bora” (the English mode of worship) I hope soon to be able to make known unto them in their own tongue the wonderful works of God.
