before settling at Tanjor. Here Heber, in the midst of labours for the people too intense, was removed by a sudden death, but not before he had so revived the work of Schwartz that the largest of all the Anglican missionary institutions in India is now the Heber Memorial School,1 which has grown into the Trichinopoly College,2 ever becoming more successful as the conqueror of the pantheistic abomination of desolation in the dark shrines of Srirangam and Jambukeshwar.

Driving from Tanjor, Bishop Heber, accompanied by Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Schreyvogel, whom he desired to station at Trichinopoly, reached his camp at midnight. On Saturday, 1st April, before eight in the morning, the Bishop was met by the principal residents and conducted to the house of Mr. Bird, circuit judge. The party had not so rested as to recover from the fatigue of the previous days and weeks, and the heat was intense. Heber lost not an hour in receiving the reports of the chaplain, and of Mr. Kohlhoff as to the Mission. Trichinopoly was then the headquarters of the southern military division, and its white garrison consisted of H.M. 48th Regiment, of detachments of artillery, and of the Sepoy The College represents the development of the Native School founded by the great missionary, C. F. Schwartz, in the middle of the eighteenth century, which, after having been located in various other homes, was for a long time conducted in the small Heber Memorial School at Sengkulam, but was brought within the Fort about thirty years ago, at the earnest request, not of any one connected with the Mission, but of the Brahman students from Srirangam, the stronghold which the College is bombarding. We enter the Fort by a remnant of the old fortification, the main-guard gate, associated with those English heroes who, on the night of 27th November 1753, during the Anglo-French Carnatic war, repulsed a surprise attack of the French from Srirangam. Through this historic gate we enter, and at once bursts into view the Rock Fort, with a great temple to Siva on its sides, and a small shrine to Ganésa on the summit, over which waves the Union Jack-a sign that all the religions of India, in spite of their mutual jealousy, repose peacefully under the British flag." The college now occupies "the highest position among the Anglican missionary institutions in our country. From within these walls Christian influence radiates in all directions; while its proximity to the greatest stronghold of heathenism in Southern India, and its situation in the second town of the Presidency, the seat of many head offices of Government, and the junction of the chief lines of the South Indian Railway, all combine to make the College a strong Christian outpost" worthy of Reginald Heber.-Rev. JACOB GNANAOLIVU, B.A., in The Mission Field for November 1894.
