A 1843 sermon argues that Christian missions must advance worldwide, backed by faith and history.
This edition presents a stirring address delivered at the American Board’s thirty-fourth annual meeting in Rochester. It frames the case for “progress in the missionary work” as a matter of Christian conviction, urgency, and divine provision. The speaker grounds his call in the nature of Christianity, the lasting command to evangelize, and the vast, unfolding opportunities before the church.
Through reasoned arguments, he surveys the state of the world, presents clear motivations to support missions, and discusses the costs and extraordinary returns of mission work. The manuscript balances high hope with practical considerations, urging believers to act now with zeal and faith.
- A clear case for why missions are essential to Christian life and church identity.
- Arguments about divine blessing, global opportunities, and the pace of future evangelization.
- Discussion of financial and logistical realities, including the cost and reward of missionary efforts.
- A call to personal and communal commitment—going, sending, and supporting the world-wide mission.
Ideal for readers of religious history, 19th‑century theology, and studies of missionary movements.
