Excerpt from The British Government and the Idolatry of Ceylon
Shin, and not forthwith adopting Shang-te; and after mentioning the firmness of Dr. Boone and his friends, in still adhering to Shin, and their strong objections to Shang-te, Mr. Radley says, We cannot be blind to the fact, that the term insisted on by Dr. Boone has been maintained by many high Chinese authorities: it was adopted by Morrison, Milne, and Marshman; it was pleaded for by the late Professor Kidd, and the Rev. Mr. Tomlin, formerly in the service of the London Missionary Society, having had the various publications and correspondence sent to him at his special request, gives to it his decided preference. The present Missionaries are lamentably divided on this point, and, however incredible Mr. Meller's statement may appear, yet so far as we have been able to ascertain their relative numbers, we have reason to believe that there are only nineteen of the present missionary labourers in China. Who are prepared, with Dr. Medhurst, to adopt the rendering of Shang-te, while no less than fifty-five adhere, with Dr. Boone, to the rendering of Shin. One of the last acts of our lamented Brandram was to draw up, from a printed list, a comparative statement, and such was the result at which he arrived, the fifty-five being composed of Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Baptists, and Methodists; and in the American Report more recently received, the numbers are given, for Shang-te nineteen, for a transferred term, six, and for Shin, fifty-five. From nearly forty of these we have had a protest against the adoption of Shang-te. And if even we restricted ourselves to those who have had the advantage of a ten years' residence in China, there appear to be only seven in favour of Shang-te, and eleven for Shin.

Excerpt from The British Government and the Idolatry of Ceylon
No person can visit the town of Kandy, the capital of the interior provinces of Ceylon, without being instantly struck by the proud attitude here assumed by idolatry; the principal temple being guarded at night, the period at which it is most usually visited, by a soldier wearing the uniform of our most gracious Queen; and the roll of the tomtom being heard at all hours, from the moment that the morning gun announces the approach of day, until the echo of its evening report has died away amid the gathering darkness of the night: and a residence in any part of the interior, cannot fail to present a continued series of similar facts, most distressing to the mind of the thoughtful Christian.
In calling the attention of the church to this topic, I am deeply impressed with the importance of the task I have undertaken, and I approach it under the impression that it is by far the most momentous question I have yet agitated, though I have recently endeavoured to direct the attention of the public to various subjects connected with the best interests of the island, in the pages of the "Friend."
