THE NATIVE CHURCHES.
Among the Natives our work presents few features of a pleasing character. The native villages are supplied every Sabbath by our Native teacher; but while some maintain their integrity and great evidence of a growth of grace, the great majority are contented with the forms of godliness, their hearts being engaged with the things of this life. Many have thrown of all their profession, and althe' they have not returned to heathenism, yet they neither worship God nor regard his Sabbaths. The increase of wealth and commerce, and their extended intercourse with foreigners have exerted a baneful influence on their condition. — Australian Conference, Report 1854.
