Excerpt from The Missionary Enterprise a True Development of the Life of the Church: A Sermon, Before the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, at Their Meeting in Worcester, Mass., October 4, 1864
False views are often entertained of the relation of this work to the church. Some regard it as a scheme which has its origin, like that of many worldly enterprises, in the invention Of ambitious minds; sustained by a passion for achievement, and therefore destined to a short existence. Others treat it as the fruit of an enthusiasm, m which there is no fair estimate of the power of Christianity, or Of the power of the church to Spread it; and hav ing no intelligent principle as its basis: a scheme appended to the church, so morally Significant as for a time to arrest attention; but economically unsound, and hence must ere long be a failure.
