Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays Contributed to the Quarterly Review
The missionary should ever be on his guard against exciting the suspicions of the people of England that his work is hollow and unsound, - he should be slow to claim conquests which cool-headed men at home may think his desultory mode of warfare not likely to achieve. The people of England are not ignorant of the boasts of the Roman Catholic teachers in the same field; as many as they could baptize (and in some countries they are said to have made short work of it, bv swinging a besom) were registered as converts, and reported as living proofs of their amazing success. And we all know what has been the consequence. Of late years, however, and especially among the Protestant missions of our own church, far greater caution has been observed; and now (except, perhaps, in a few instances where the native catechists recom mend to the missionaries candidates for baptism, for whose competency they are themselves the vouchers) a degree of he sitation is felt about admitting to this rite, that some may think, and perhaps justly think, more than even prudence demands. That error, however, if error it be, is on the right side.
