Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Mission Field: A Monthly Record of the Proceedings of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, at Home and Abroad At a meeting held in November at Leicester, on behalf of the Missions of the S.P.G., Bishop Claughton gave an account of work done in St. Helena and in Ceylon; the Rev. G. Warlow told what progress the faith of Christ was making among the two hundred and forty millions who live and die heathens in India. The Bishop of Peterborough then said: - I Have now briefly to discharge the duty of the chairman of a meeting such as this - to gather up into form some of the lessons which have been addressed to us. I think we all feel that one great merit of the deputation has been making us forget themselves, and even the larger and greater interest they represent. I am sure it is well for us all to learn on these occasions to forget ourselves, and even to forget for a moment the very Societies that we are engaged in promoting. I am glad to see in the announcement of the meeting something of a novelty, and further, a very happy novelty, - that it has been called together not on behalf of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, but on behalf of the Missions of that Society. The Mission of the Gospel is greater than any Society engaged in propagating it, and it is well for them to remember that. We are too apt in the present day to sacrifice to our net and burn incense to our own drag, to worship the machinery by which we do our work, and to forget the greatness of the work itself. I think it is good for us to remember how great, how vast, how wide is that work, and how small in comparison arc the human instrumentalities by which it is carried on, as that will lead to a spirit of humility and catholicity.
