Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Contrasts in the Work of Missions
This is the magnificent aim of Christianity in its relation to the individual soul to which it comes. And then it would accomplish this aim universally in the earth not merely changing the isolated tribe into a civilized society, but filling the world with the beauty of holiness, and cover ing the world with that loveliness of adornment which a new inspiration of the heart always pr'ompts and to which it conducts. Nothing less than making the whole earth the abode of the heavenly spirit, meet footstool for the heavenly palaces, is contemplated in the work of Christian missions. It is in this like the Lord, born on the narrow crest of Bethlehem, whose goings forth have been from everlasting, and whose plans eu compass the earth.
