Book Description
Excerpt from The Home Mission Field, Its Speedy and Perfect Cultivation Urged: A Discourse in Behalf of the Am. Baptist Home Mission Society, Preached at the Anniversary in Troy, May, 1853 One obstacle exists in. The.-faet, that society is a medley. Every community, large or small, is madeup of, peoplefrom almost-eifery tongue and nation under heaven. N or'this alone. They are almost endlessly diverse among: themselves. Thrown together, from the city and the country, from this section of a country and'that, with diverse views of religion, government, education, every thing pertaining to this world, or that to come, they constitute a kind of moral Babel. Thus, two Germans are not much alike;. Two Englishmen quite as diverse; and two Americans, perchance, of Opposite opinions, and so of all the rest.

Restraints of home andfriends, and religious associations, they are often swept. Awayby overwhelming: temptations What a grave - aye, what a very. Gate of hell is the West to cold-hearted professors and mere formalists, Their vows and covenants broken, their birthrights sold, and their sinful passions; wrought into! Frenzied excitement, many of them are soon drowned in destruction and perdition. To men of this. Stamp, goaded round and 1 round in the Whirlpools of the world, -o.ur dear missionaries must preach; and. That, too, often under circumstances. That would ahnost. Have made a Paul quail, flinch and blench away, lest he had run, orig should run in vain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
