Excerpt from Complete Works of Rev. Thomas Smyth, D.D, Vol. 7

Such and so great, such and no less than this, is every christian.

What then is the principle by which, in this holy and beav enly task, the christian is sustained? That principle is faith; and the delineation of this truth is the one object of the present treatise.

The term missions is of Latin, and not of scriptural origin. It is therefore delusive, by leading many to imagine that the enterprise it expresses is of human, and not of divine appoint ment. The word, however, is only a brief translation of scrip tural terms which indicate the chief end and work of the Church and of every believer. These are both sent into the world, prepared and delegated by God to propagate the gospel, and to evange'lize the world.
