Excerpt from Sketches of Sermons on Christian Missions, Original and Selected
The subject of Christian Missions is emphatically identified with the age in which we live. Almost all sections of the church of Christ are labouring in this cause; and have sent forth heralds of mercy, to preach among the heathen "the unsearchable riches of Christ."
Most ministers at home are necessarily often called upon to preach and plead on behalf of the millions of benighted Pagans, and to excite and sustain a missionary spirit among their own people. The present work, therefore, is designed as suggestive of themes and topics suited to these occasions.
For nearly fifty years men of decided talent and spiritual excellence, have been preaching on this express subject in our metropolis; and in the various large cities and towns of this country, and the United States of America. From these discourses most of the Sketches have been selected and formed; and it is truly delightful to observe how ministers of the Church of England, Wesleyans, Baptists, Congregationalists, and Presbyterians, all enunciate the same great and glorious truths, when advocating the momentous claims of a world which lieth in wickedness.
The selection of Sketches has been made irrespective of the sect or party of the preacher; the end contemplated being an exposition of the missionary spirit from some of the most talented ministers of past and present times.
