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 hearing 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.

Krishna Pal (1764–1822) was the first Indian convert to Baptist Christianity, through the missionary activity the Baptist Missionary Society. Pal was born in 1764 in Calcutta, India. In 1800, at the age of thirty six, he dislocated his arm while doing carpentry work. He went to the missionary doctor John Thomas, the first missionary to India from the Baptist Missionary Society, who told Krishna Pal, with the help of Joshua Marshman, of a "disease" they said was even more deadly—sin. Pal was very moved by the story of God's salvation and was baptised by William Carey in the River Ganges a month later, in December 1800, making him the first Bengali convert to Christianity. He renounced his caste at around the same time while he was eating in public with missionaries. He was ordained in 1804 and, until his death of cholera in 1822, Pal devoted himself to the ministry of the people in Calcutta and built a church there. In these twenty years he wrote hymns such as "The Shipwrecked Sinner Looking to Jesus," "O Thou, My Soul, Forget No More," and "Salvation by the Death of Christ," some translated from Bengali to English by Joshua Marshman.
