And to whom can this appeal be made, but to the mem- bers of missionary associations? And on whom can it be urged home more forcibly than those who have pro- fessed to surrender the whole energies of their minds and their bodies to the promulgation of the religion of Christ? This is a statement of facts, and such a statement, I am sure, would be quite sufficient to call forth the willing offer of his services, from any one who believes in the efficacy of Missionary exertion, and who is not tied... down by some peculiar circumstances to his native land, were it not that the mind is driven from its convictions of duty, by prejudices and affections, the strongest that can in- fluence our nature — and I will even say, the purest that can oppose the will of God. Accordingly, I have found in my own experience, that even those who are most liberal in their donations to Missionary Societies, and most active in spreading among their friends, a spirit of good will to this work of Christian philanthropy, im- mediately abate their ardour, and turn upon another tack, so soon as the duty of personal engagement is pressed home upon themselves, or even upon any of their near relations.
