Christianity.
At length, having given up the _Steadfast_, he obtained the command of a
mission ship, though he had in the meantime succeeded to a good
property; and conveyed many missionaries to the stations to which they
were appointed.
On the death of Captain and Mrs Graybrook, he and his wife settled in
one of the larger islands of the Pacific, where, with Harry and Bass,
who shortly afterwards joined them, they have laboured faithfully on
till they have seen most of the inhabitants converted to the truth.
Old Tom resided with them, labouring devotedly to the last, till he was
called away to hear the words, "Well done, thou good and faithful
servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee
ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
