Marshman is as poor as I am, and I can scarcely lay by a sum monthly to relieve three or four indigent relatives in Europe. I might have had large possessions, but I have given my all, except what I ate, drank, and wore, to the cause of missions, and Dr. Marshman has done the same, and so did Mr. Ward." Carey's trust in God, for the mission and for himself, was to be still further tried.
It seemed to bring the whole family nearer to her, and they felt it, too. Mrs. Marshman kissed her when she heard it, and said she remembered very well her son's speaking of her, and was very glad to find who it was. And now, Ellen thought, she would surely see him again some time. The next day they left Ventnor.
"Well, what is it?" said Ellen; "I know you have thought of something." "It is like the fragrance that Christian society sometimes leaves upon the spirit; when it is just what it ought to be." "My Mr. Marshman!" exclaimed Ellen. John smiled again. "I thought of him, Ellie. And I thought, also, of Cowper's lines:
It was very pleasant, too, when they went into the drawing-room to take coffee. The young ones were permitted to have coffee to-night as a great favour. Old Mrs. Marshman had the two little ones on either side of her, and was so kind, and held Ellen's hand in her own, and talked to her about her mother, till Ellen loved her.
The Church Mission continued to send out only Germans till 1815. In quick succession four young men offered themselves to the Baptist Society to go out as assistants to Carey, in the hope that the Company would give them a covenant to reside Brunsdon and Grant, two of Ryland's Bristol flock; Joshua Marshman with his wife Hannah Marshman, and William Ward called by Carey himself.
Returning with difficulty and joined by Marshman and the natives, he had every door and window closed, and then mounting the south roof, he had water poured through it upon the burning mass for four hours, with the most hopeful prospect of arresting the ruin.
I will cite one or two cases from witnesses for whose testimony the right hon. Mr. Marshman is a gentleman who is well known as possessing a considerable amount of information on Indian affairs, and has, I presume, come over on purpose to give his evidence on the subject.
"You ask, 'Is there no ground for the charges of profusion, etc., preferred against Brother Marshman? Brother Marshman has always been ardently engaged in promoting the cause of God in India, and, being of a very active mind, has generally been chosen by us to draw up our Reports, to write many of our public letters, to draw up plans for promoting the objects of the mission, founding and managing schools, raising subscriptions, and other things of a like nature; so that he has taken a more active part than Brother Ward or myself in these public acts of the mission.
"My father has dubbed him 'George Marshman; he says you will like that, as my brother is such a favourite of yours." "He didn't really, did he?" said Ellen, looking from Sophia to Alice. "I needn't call him that, need I?" "Not unless you like," said Miss Sophia, laughing "you may change it, but what will you call him?"
"Well, I don't know," said she; "I suppose you are right; but I don't understand it." Alice drew her face down to hers, and whispered something in her ear. Undoubtedly Alice had much around, as well as within her, to make a declining life happy. Mrs. Vawse and Miss Marshman were two friends and nurses not to be surpassed in their different ways.
