The loud call, which the present dispensations of Pro- vidence seem to send forth, to all Christian nations in behalf of the millions of Asia, is. Go over and help them. Some of our sister churches have not been dis- 'obedient to the heavenly call. Our brethren in the eastern states have made a magnanimous beginning, and have set us a noble example, worthy of imitation. Ano- ther large Christian society seems to have felt the di- vine impulse, and are at this moment in motion. Many sober Christ...ians are of opinion, that the awful darkness of a long night begins to break. Undoubtedly, a new era has commenced, in regard to the propagation of the gospel. And shall our church, as numerous as any in the Union, remain idle spectators of the exertions of others? Shall we only, pay no regard to the signs of the times? Can we be contented, to prosecute the great busi- ness of missions, in the same cold and circumscribed manner as we have hitherto done? I trust not. I sin- cerely hope, that the General Assembly, which consti- tutes the Missionary Society of our church, will, at their present sessions, take the subject of foreign mis- 21 sions into serious consideration; and that they will resolve to co-operate cordially and energetically, in carrying on this glorious work.
