Excerpt from Always Abounding in the Work of the Lord: A Sermon, Preached at Oswego, New York, September 10, 1850, Before the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, at Their Forty-First Annual Meeting
The larger portions of the unevangelized world make their first acquaintance with Christianity through men as far removed from its spirit, as those who have never heard of Christ. The cupidity and fraud, the licentiousness and violence of many com mercial men and their agents, released from the re straints of Christian association, and tempted by example and opportunity to the indulgence of their ruling passions, are as familiarly known, as they are deserving of abhorrence. The brandy of France, and the rum of New England, the opium of British India, and the cannon of European navies, combined With the intemperance and debauchery, profaneness and falsehood of foreigners thrown into the ports, and resident in the cities of the dark-minded idolater, foster the vicious propensities of his untutored na ture, plunge him deeper in pollution, than if left to the unmixed influences of his own debased religion, and increase his repugnance to a Faith that promises no improvement either to his social or moral con dition.
