Excerpt from Report of the Centenary Conference on the Protestant Missions of the World, Vol. 1: Held in Exeter Hall (June 9th-19th), London, 1888
Under the able and energetic guidance of the Rev. J. Sharp, a Secretary of that Society, who kindly acted as Honorary Secretary during the preliminary stages of the movement, it soon took shape on a large and catholic basis. A Circular was sent out to all Evangelical Societies engaged directly or indirectly in Foreign Missionary work, inviting each to send two delegates to represent them at a meeting to be held in the Bible House, to consider the proposal for holding a great Conference on Missions.
