Sivu 4 - Scripture and of conscience," he said, " fathers, brethren, ministers of Christ, in the presence of God I charge you, I charge myself, with betraying the grand interests of our Master by refusing to propagate His Gospel. I charge you with the habitual, open violation of Christ's command : ' Go, preach the Gospel to every creature.
Sivu 81 - We are going to Calcutta. Many, many wicked things are there. O keep us all while we stay there! "O that I had but love! O that I had but faith ! O that I had forgiveness! O that I had but those things which thy people have ! Like them—O give me like them!

Sivu 153 - Zion's favour'd hour ; Bid the bright morning star arise, And point the nations to the skies. Set up thy throne where Satan reigns, On Afric's shore, on India's plains, On wilds and continents unknown— And be the universe thine own ! Speak!
Sivu 88 - ... Tartary, on the north, contain their millions. Beyond the ocean, Persia, to the west, calls for the consolations of the Gospel, to cheer them amidst the darkness of Mohammedan delusion : while the swarthy sons of Pegu and Siam, inhabiting large and fertile countries on the south, invite the messengers of peace to come and proclaim the glad tidings of life and immortality.
Sivu 94 - I would not change my station for all the society in England, much as I prize it; nor indeed, for all the wealth in the world. May I but be useful in laying the foundation of the Church of Christ in India, I desire no greater reward, and can receive no higher honour.
