Excerpt from Missions: Their Temporal Utility, Rate of Progress, and Spiritual Foundation, Stated in the Addresses of Lord Napier, Canon Lightfoot, and Bishop Kelly, at the Annual Meeting of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, on the 29th April, 1873

Two events of the last year connected with the Society's proceed ings at home are of peculiar importance. First, the world-wide Intercessions in behalf of Missions on Friday, Dec. 20, have been graciously answered by a revival of faith in, and zeal for, Missions, and by numerous offers of personal service, from which the Society has received substantial benefit; it has been seen that Missions do not depend on management and money; but are a work to which god calls his faithful people everywhere. And, secondly, the Society has drawn together its scattered members in unity of action and feeling by sanctioning the election of Diocesan Representatives to act both as delegates from their dioceses to the Standing Committee and as delegates from the Committee to their Dioceses.
