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 A revival and an extension of Associations ought to be aimed at. What is meant by the inadequacy of the alms of a wealthy country? Does it not point to a want of that zeal in the Missionary cause for the quickening of which Parochial Associations are constituted, and all this organisation exists? And of all means within our-power, what is there to be compared with united prayer for stirring up zeal? We venture to suggest that there should be everywhere a careful scrutiny into the actual condition of each Parochial Association as a body organised for a spiritual purpose to contribute its part to a great spiritual work. What is the central point of unity in a given Association ? Is it simply to hear an annual sermon ending with a collection? Is it to listen once a year to a Deputation whose efforts may be requited by a collection? Or do its members join it with a common purpose to promote the glory of God; and are they sustained in that purpose by meeting together for united prayer connected with their object, and for imparting and receiving information from abroad? In one word, Does united prayer hold its proper place in the majority of our Parochial Associations? If it does not, we venture to suggest that such Associations need revival. And let us add, that when we look specially at the contributions of many large town-parishes to the Missionary cause, they seem to indicate special opportunities for such revival. Is not an Association - speaking generally - incomplete, unless it has its periodical meetings more than once a year, and independent of the aid of Deputations from a distance; meetings in which some appropriate passage read from Scripture would inculcate the common duty of Christians to spread abroad the Gospel; in which prayer, more definite, alas! than our Prayer-book at present supplies, might be offered up, varied as the Mission field is full of varieties; in which some of the abundant information with which our numerous Missionary publications supply their readers every month might give point to the general teaching of Scripture, and to the good desire fostered by prayer ? Such meetings need not supersede the annual sermon or the annual speech of the Deputation: but where they do not exist, it is no wonder that the Missionary spirit of the Association and of the parish languishes.
