Excerpt from The First Hindoo Convert: A Memoir of Krishna Pal, a Preacher of the Gospel to His Countrymen More Than Twenty Years
A new state of things now began to dawn on that mighty continent. Krishna and his female relatives soon gave evidence that they had been brought by the influence of the Holy Spirit to the cross of Christ, and ex pressed their readiness in all things to obey his laws. They seemed to have learned that sin is a dreadful thing, and to feel joy in hear ing of the salvation of Jesus Christ. The missionaries say, we sat down upon a piece of mat in the front of Krishna's house, for they had no chairs. It was very pleasant.
