PREFACE IT was fitting tlie general public meetings to celebrate the Centenary of the Baptist Missionary Society now recorded in this volume should have been held in those localities memorable for association with the origin of the Mission. Con- sequently, arrangements were made for the Commemoration to begin at Nottingham on the 30th and 31st of May of last year, 1892, in which town and on the latter of which dates a hundred years previously William Carey preached his famous missionary discourse ; the proceedings being continued at Lsicester, the scene of Carey's ministry; and closing, so far as those particular gatherings were concerned, at Kettering, where Andrew Fuller laboured, and where the Society was formed. The Celebration was resumed in London on October the 3rd, an ajipeal for special collections having been made on the Sunday previous, that day (October the 2nd) being the hundredth anniversary of the date on which the Mission was actually founded. Those meetings extended over Monday, Tuesday, and "Wednesday, the last day being placed at the disposal of the Committee by the courtesy of the Baptist Union, whose Assembly was then in autumnal session. The Public Commemoration proceedings were brought to a con- clusion by a final series of meetings held on the 20th and 21st of March, 1893, in Northampton, a town intimately connected with the origin of the Society, Dr. Ryland, pastor of College Street €hurch, being one of the founders of the Mission. On the former VI PREFACE. date, one hmiclrecl years ago, William Carey and John Thomas wcre- solemnly set apart as Missionaries to India. In addition to the above arrangements a festival was held at the Crystal Palace on the 23rd of July, 1892, especially on behalf of the young people in our Sunday-schools and congregations. A large portion of this volume is necessarily devoted to acknow- ledgments of contributions to the Thanksgiving Fund ; and it is with profound gratitude to God we record that, through the noble response to the appeals made, the sum of £100,000 contemplated, has not only been obtained, but considerably exceeded. To all those who have rendered assistance to the Committee in^ S3curing this encouraging result, very sincere thanks are accorded. Notwithstanding the care that has been given to the compilation Oi the contribution lists — a by no means easy task — errors will no- doubt b3 found, and for them ths Eiitor asks genaroas es::)aeL-d!iion. During the Centenary Celebration the Committee have placed upon the Minutes of the Society resolutions recognising the hearty hospitality of the friends receiving guests at the various places of meeting, and the admirable arrangements made for the conduct of the proceedings ; and they would now, in this more public mauner again express their gratitude.* Thanks are due for permission to use i)hotographs in preparing certain of the illustrations appearing in this volume.

AN INTRODUCTORY DEVOTIONAL MEETING was held on Monday evening, May 30th, in George Street Chapel. The hymn commencing " Kindred in Christ, for His dear sake, A hearty weloome here receive," having been snng, the Rev. W. F. Armstrong, of Burmah, Mr. H. AsHWELL, J.P., of Nottingham, and the Rev. G. H. Rouse, M.A., LL.B., of Calcutta, offered prayer ; after which THE REV. J. CULROSS, D.D., President of Bristol College, gave the following address : — A century ago to-day, "William Carey entered Nottingham vvdth the thought in his heart, which ho afterwards preached in the sermon that really created the Baptist Missionary Society, "Expect great things from God : Attempt great things for God." It Avas a vei'y simple thing to say. It was very memorable. It was as profoundly plulo- sophic as it was Christian. It was one of those inspirations which, by a single flash, illumine a whole realm of thought. " Expect grout things from God " ; when that goes first, the spirit of grace and supplication is given ; the days vdll be bound in clasps of morning and evening prayer ; our human feebleness, girding itself for service, will look to the ever- lasting hills v/hence our help cometh ; and v/ork vvdll follow, calm, earnest, patient. Theoretically, wo accept Carey's order. And yet, in practice, we sometimes reverse it, and make it run: Attempt, Expect; to use a homely, but expressive, phrase, putting the cai-t before the horse — nay, sending out th(^ cart v/ithout the horse, as if it shoidd go of itself, self-moved because it has wheels. Depend uj^on it, the dift'crence is not 1* 4 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. a mere verbal one, but very real and very deep. It is God-kindled, God- trusting expectation that animates, guides, and sustains Christian endeavour. One of the special needs of to-day in the missionary enterprise is enlarged and vitalised expectation. "We have not yet fully appraised the value of this as an element of missionary power. With God-inspii-ed hope our chiu'ches will be prolific of right-hearted men, offering themselves willingly for service — men not only with missionary aspirations, but with missionary virtues. The offerings of wealth will corresj)ond ; as free of ostentation as of niggardliness. We acknowledge the connection, even though we cannot trace it, between prayer and success : God hath joined them together. Is there not as real a connection between hope and success ? And this not merely on the part of the missionaries, but also of the churches that send them. Yet, alas, how meagre and poor our expectations are I How far beneath what God's promises and resoiirces and mighty works in the past warrant us to cherish ! Wo get absorbed v/ith the finance and the mechanics of the Mission, and in the endeavour to keep the wheels revolving we lose that bright and joyous hopeful- ness which is the very pledge and necessary condition of victory. I am fully assured that one thing profoundly needed by the churches is a fresh vision of that future which God's promises disclose. That vision will set our hope aglow. It will nerve to activity. Our prayers will correspond ; no narrow, slender petitions, begging poor instalments of the promise, as if heaven were half bankrupt ; but on a scale, with a range and sweep, and with a boldness and assurance of faith propor- tioned to the grandeur of Divine grace. It is very instructive to note on what Carey based his expectations. Not on human resources, Avhether of wealth, or eloquence, or learning. Those fev/ men who gathered with him in the little parlour at Kettering had no worldly backing. Theii- obsciirity was extreme. With scarcely an exception they were unknown beyond their immediate neighbour- hood. They might rank with our village preachers to-day as to stand- ing. To carnal reason, their undertaking was insane. The vnse and prudent doomed it to ignominious failure. With a solitary exception no man of mark in London would look at it ; and when a meeting was convened to consider whether an auxiliary should be formed, an over- whelming majority carried the negative. The prevailing mood was one of incredulity. " If the Lord should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be ? " But, Abraham-like, Carey " believed in God." Call up to imagination that mysterious night-scene when God renewed His promise to the father of the faithful. He had left country and kindred, and father's house, at God's bidding, not knowing whither he went. In the night-time the Lord came to him in a vision, and said : " Fear not, Abram; I am thy Shield and thy exceeding great Eeward," THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 5 Then He led him foi-th from his tent, under the magnificence of Eastern night, and, pointing to the stars that burned in the deep azure, in solemn mystery and micounted numbers, He said, " So shall thy seed be." It Avas a picture to the eye? and the imagination of that wonderful future which God destined for Israel, and, through Israel, for the world. The Pleiades, with their- sweet influences, Orion, Mazzaroth, Arcturus, and his sons, with all the other constellations of the Syrian sky "That flung to earth their quiveiing fires"— these, as he looks, are at once a prophecy of God's purpose of grace, and a proclamation of the Omnipotence that pledged the fulfilment. For years he had been walking by faith ; now, as if for the first time, "HE BELIEVED IN THE LORD." The Divine personality shone out before his iimer eye with absolute, awful realness, never more to be dimmed ; and, as if for the iirst time, he surrendered himself to a child- like, entire, and unfearing trust and expectation. He took God to be God, ascribing to Him faithfulness and power. Herein lay his strength and greatness. The promises of God were more real to him than the solid earth beneath his feet. Doubts, unlikelihoods, impossibilities vanish ; his whole life is transfigured, and moves henceforth in the bright realm of hope. Carey seems to me the Abraham of modem missions- strong in "the invincible might of weakness," that lays hold on the strength of God. Like the patriarch, he "saluted" the promises and hasted to lueet them. From all discouragements henceforward he turned to God, saying in his heart, "I would seek unto God, and imto God would I commit my cause, who doeth great things and unsearchable, marvellous things without number." Here lay Carey's secret: he "believed in God"; and here lies the secret of the missionary Clause. Think what this implies. Faith in the world- wideness of Divine mercy. Faith that the Gospel fits all men, and is " worthy of all acceptation." Faith in the Divine ordination of the missionary enterprise — God wills it. Faith in Divine resources available and sufficient for its accomplishment. Faith in the Divine word of promise : " As truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord," " Shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea," " All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall v/orship before Thee," " The God of the whole earth shall He be called." Faith in the ultimate victory of Jesus Christ. He shall not fail or be discouraged till His purpose is accomplished. He shall bring forth judgment imto truth, givhig not the semblance of it only, but the reality — righteousness in the deepest sense of the word. He shall "set" it in the earth, giving it root and p(^rmanency. And "the isles," representing all the far unknown, shall v.'ait for His law. Afar off that day may seem, and slow 6 THE CENtENART CfiLEBRATIONi of coming to us, wlio measure time by the swing of a pendulum or by our own impatience ; but its coming is sure, for God has promised it. So the least we can say is, "I believe that it shall be even as God hath told." And every conversion of a soul to God means a step toward the glorious issue ; and so does every good and holy purpose created in a Christian heart, and every Christlike deed wrought by Christian hands. Another thing inspiring confidence : He v/ho has commanded the enterprise v/ill Himself be in it. The Captain of salvation does not command His army by telegraph or signal from the skies. " Lo, I am with you," is His v/ord. It is no mere figure of .speech, but an assured reality. It is not merely that He is on oui- side, and will send help out of the sanctuary ; but personally, though invisibly, according to His promise, He v/ill be in our midst, and righteousness shall be the girdle of His loins, and faithfulness the girdle of His reins. The loneliest missionary, in his hour of extremest weakness and depression, may take the promise to his heart ; and so may the faithful church, with all the difficulties and discouragements of the entei-prise full in viev,^ and the taunt of unbelief ringing in her ear : " Where is now thy God ? " One thing more. We are living under the dispensation of the Spirit ; and v/hat hope that inspires ! The promise of ' ' enduement v.dth pov.'er from on high " is one v/hose depth the Christian Church has not yet fathomed. Pentecost is no isolated wonder of the vanished and uni'eturning past, but a type of what is attainable still. It is God, so to speak, showing His hand, making knov/n His way ; and so viev/ed, it presages unheard-of and undreamed-of reinforcement from heaven. Dm'ing the past century, v/herever the missionary has gone, God has given testimony to the word of His grace by signs and v/onders fol- lov/ing, as manifestly Divine as in the days of miracle. There are tribes, v/e are told, so low in th« scale that they cannot count to ten ; but no tribe has been discovered that the holy Love v^hich v,'ent to the Cross cannot touch and renew. As in no former age, the v>^orld lies open, and open-minded, to the Gospel. The grandeur of the present opportunity is beyond anything knov/n in history. It is God bidding us lose no time, and sjaare no sacrifice, and fear no hazard, and stint no love, in seeking the lost. More hangs on the prompt use we make of the opportunity than perhaps v.'c think. For remember that, like the unused talent, the unused opportunity goes from us ; the faithless chui'ches lose their power ; and the Kingdom of God is taken from them and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Putting all these things together, are wc not entitled to cherish large and glowing expectations as vre enter on another century of missions '1 I darn not use one rhetorical woixl, but this we may rely upon : The Eedeemer's soul- travail is not in vain. He shall see the issues of it, and THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. i sliall be satisfied. Both in measiiro and kind, these issues shall con-es- pond to the grasp and quality of His own Being, so that He shall say, "It is enough I " "When the day comes on which He shall siu-vey this new creation in its completeness, clad in garments whiter than snow and piu'er than the purest light, He shall have a joy ineffable, measureless. Divine. And if his soul is satisfied, what more can be desired or thought of ? And what more do you want to nerve and sustain endeavour' ? To Him be the glory, for ever and ever. Amen I After this address, the Eevs. R. Richard, of Bristol, and J. Chadwick, of London, prayed ; and the pastor of the church, the Rev. W. Woods, pronounced the Benediction. o THE CENTENARY CELEBHATIOX. THE BREAKFAST MEETING, IN THE MECHANICS' HALL, ON TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 31st. Prayer having been offered by the Eev. Edward Medley, B.A., formerly the minister in Derby Road Chapel, Nottingham, and now of the Downs Church, Clapton, the General Secretary, Mr. Alfred Henry Baynes, made a few preliminary remarks, in which he stated that the late Treasurer, Mr. Tritton, only a few weeks before his death, said to him — thinking of the Centenary in the near future — that the force and inspu-ation of the Jubilee gathering had rested with him all through his life. " I confidently believe," said Mr. Baynes, " that the inspiration of these Centenary gatherings will abide with all who are privileged to attend them through the remainder of their days. I earnestly pray that the inspiration may be translated into a nobler and more adequate conception of individual responsibihty in this sublime enterprise, and more full and complete consecration to the Saviour's work." He then spoke some words of grateful appreciation of the generous kindness and hearty hospitality of the friends in Nottingham, and announced that the Thanksgiving Fund, in promises and payments, amounted to £78,000. THE CHAIRMAN, MR. W. HUNT, gave the following address : — 1 must state that the contributions from the Nottingham churches are by no means exhausted — in fact, we fully believe that that is the case. Not much has been done, comparatively speaking, compared with what ought to be done ia Nottingham, and those of us who are connected with some of the churches feel that, and we trust the meetings held to- day will do something to bring up in Nottingham the amount towards £80,000. We all rejoice, I am sure, that Ave have come at last to this memoi'able day, the day to which we have looked forward with so much interest ; and in looking back upon the hundred years, and especially upon this very town a hundred years ago, we wonder with what feelings Carey entered Nottingham ; Ave wonder whether he had the slightest con- ception of the magnificence of the work which he was then commencing. If he had, he was certainly the only man in the Christian Church of that day. But we are glad to know that noAV the spirit of Carey has fallen not only upon individual members of the Church, but upon the churches themselves. And if much has been done during the past hundred years THE ^lEETINGS AT N0TT1NGHA3I. 9 for which we certainly ought to feel grateful, at the same time we cannot help but feel that not all has been done that should have been done ; and we tiaxst the commencement of another century to-day may so stii" up the churches to a spiiit of thankfulness for the mercies of the past, that they will determine in God's strength, even as Carey a hmidred years ago detei-mined, that the whole world shall soon be won to a know- ledge of the truth. We pray, and I am sure that is the prayer of the whole of this gathering, that such may be the case. And we rejoice greatly at the courage of our forefathers. The men of old, though perhaps their conceptions of things were not so wide as our own to-day, yet they had this grand conception, that the world should be won for the Saviour, and they set to work to the best of their ability to carry out what they felt could be done. I do trust that their courage will stimulate the churches to-day to buckle on the armour which they have now cast off, and that wo may go forward in God's strength to win in sbill larger measure the world to the Saviour. Now, friends, while many have gone abroad, you know the spirit in which they have gone ; they have gone trusting in the churches and the friends at home, as Carey trusted, that the churches at home would hold the ropes. I trust that we to-day shall show that we are still prepared to " hold the ropes " ; that We are prepared to send a message of encouragement to friends across the sea ; that, so far as we are concerned, nothing shall be wanting ou our part to extend in every possible way this glorious woik. It is, I am sure, an inspiring and a very encouraging thought to feel now, that on this day, in every quarter of the globe, our friends will be rejoicing at the successes of the Mission. Of course, in the far East, hom-s ago our friends began their rejoicings. In Australia, in India, and in China, ere the day broke in England, our friends were no doubt rejoicing. And as the day advances in the far West, in America and the West Indian Islands, we know that our friends to-day will be rejoicing, and one grand chorus of praise and gratitude mil ascend to heaven. I feel that it is a blessed thing for us that we are permitted to take part in this Centenary celebra- tion, and I trust, as Mr. Bapies has said, the spirit of gratitude will so till the churches that we shall carry on this work in the coming centui-y (or show that we have the spirit to carry it on) in a Avay which will bring it, before another century shall close, to a successful issue. The hymii having been sung, which begins, " Arm of the Lord, awake, awake, Put on Thy strength, the nations shake," THE REV. S. H. BOOTH, D.D., was called upon to speak. May I be permitted, he said, to indidge in one or two personal remin- iscences which come to my mind as I connect the fust with the second 10 THE CENTENAEY CELEBBATION. Jubilee of ova- Missionary Society ? The earliest recollection I have of any religious service is that of a missionary meeting held in old Cow Lane Chapel at Coventry when I was seven years of age. All that I can recall of that meeting is that I sat in my grandfather's pew, v/ith my hand in my mother's, wondering at the crov.^d, and exhausted by the heat and the hour. I have a clearer recollection of subsequent meetings in the same place, and of the same kind, when I grew older, and I can at this lapsed time recall the persons, if not the v/ords, of such men as that of my grandfather's pastor, Mr. Franklin, and of such honoured ministers of that day as Morgan and Swan, of Birmingham ; Dr. Carson, of Tubbermoi/e ; and of such missionaries as Leslie from the East, and Knibb and Burchell of the West Indies. At my grandfather's table, in those early years, I had the great privilege of seeing and knoAving many of the other leaders of our denomination, chiefly in con- nection with the missionary gatherings in that ancient town. I also remember my grandfather telling me, as I sat in the parlour of one of his houses in Leamington, that the defence of the Calcutta, missionaries at the time of the Serampore controversy vras written in that room by Eustace Carey and William Yates. I can recall a great meeting in Exeter Hall, some years later, when the anti-slavery question was agitating the religious world, and when the champions of the negro were assailed by all kinds of calumny. William Knibb roused the vast assembly to wild enthusiasm, and of that meeting one, and only one, sentence remains v/ith me. It was that of the speaker, the Rev. J. E. Giles, who followed Mr. Knibb, and who said that the jjen which had wiitten those unjust and bitter words wanted " knibbing." Those were the days, Su.-, before steel pens. Then came the Jubilee year, and the Jubilee day — a day ever memor- able to me, for it v/as on the 2nd of October, 1842, that my revered pastor. Rev. William Upton, of St. Albans, received me into the Church. Suffer me to recall two other facts, which have had no little influence on my attachment to missions and to our own Society. Wnen William Knibb was leaving England for the last time, he came into a prayer- meeting which I was conducting, and we ' sang a hymn, and he raised the tune ; it was his favourite hymn and tune. It begins : — " What must it be to dwell above, At God's right hand where Jesus reigns ? " and the last verse I'uns thus :— " This is the heaven I long to know ; For this with patience I would wait, Till, weaned from earth and all below, I mount to my celestial seat. And wave my palm, and wear my crown, And, with the elders, cast them down." THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 11 lie embarked for Jamaica the following day, and the news soon came that his course on earth was ended, and his reward had come. One incident more, and then I tm-n back the page of my early life to refer to it no more. I have rscen tAvo Jubilees of the Missionary Society, but I do not think there is much likelihood of my seeing the thiixl. I was a student at Stepney College when John Howard Hinton preached the memorial sermon for Knibb and Yates in Dr. Fletcher's chapel in Finsbury. His text was: "And if our brethren be inquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ." At the close of that sermon he quoted the words of the dying Yates : " If I had a thousand lives, I would willingly sacrilice them all for Him who loved me." If I could have seen it my duty consistently with other solemn claims, I should have offered myself for mission sei-vice. I was not to be a missionary, but if I had been, I could not have been more attached to om- mission work than I have been through the long years from that day to this. Although a hundred years have passed since the era of modern missions began, the question v.^as never more keenly debated than it is to-day — ' ' Are our missions answeiing the end for which the Christian Chm-ch entered on theml'" It is a question discussed both by friends and by foes ; by foes who scoff at missions as they scoff at the Saviour ; and by friends who love our missions as they do their right hand. There are some who challenge success on the ground that we cannot raise heathen nations to the level of European civilisation, and, regard- ing religious beliefs as very much a matter of race, look on missions as the outgrowth of a fanaticism as hopeless as it is unphilosophical. In the judgment of modem thought, and of a "higher criticism," missions are pronounced a waste of energy on the part of misguided, though amiable, men. Is there nothing else to be said on this matter ? Are there no ancient words worthy of our notice ? What did He saj", whose teaching I would rather accept, and whose footsteps I would rather follow than of the ablest apostle of modem light and leading? "Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold, them also I must bring, that there may be one flock and one Shep- herd." Besides, you can meet objections by fact. If Materialists have their facts, so have we. And one fact is as good as another. If the Gospel has raised one poor idolater into fellowship v/ith the Saviour, it can save the race. But this is a question of the friends of missions, too. In that form, and in that direction, the answer may be given in various ways. Perhaps we have been impatient, and om- expectations have not been wan-anted. Perhaps wo have made mistakes, and have hindered the v/ork. Perhaps v.^e have been unfaithful, and have withheld the means by v.-hich alone success v/as possible. Perhaps \>c have been slothful, neglecting pi'ayer, that waiting upon God which is the Divine 12 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. condition of the Divine blessing, whether at home or abroad. It seems to me that in any reply we may give to inquiries like these we find only motives to perseverance. Time will not permit me to do more than to ask you to compare, for instance, the state of India to-day wdth what it was a hundi-ed years ago. The missionary scheme was frowned on by the Government of the day. It was made meny over by wits and philosophers. It was strongly disapproved by many in the Christian Church, not only as Utopian, but as oj)i)osed to the Divine decrees. At that earlier period, the whole coast-line of the world, except the Danish settlement at Serampore, seemed closed against us, and to-day there is no nation where there is not an open door if we were able and willing to enter and possess the land for Christ. Now, as we look back upon the way we have come, and sum up results, no doubt we see many, nay, vast spots of darkest hue on the moral mai5 of the world, and not even India — where the strength of oiu- missions has been — is penetrated by the Gospel. It woidd be difficult to convey to your minds an adequate sense of the disproportion between what has been done and what remains to be done ; but with our Lord's command before us we can never be anything else but assured of final and full success. No doubt gentlemen can be found who come back from India or China and say they have never seen a missionary. Very likely, because, as Dr. Norman McLeod said, " they never looked for one." Or as one of whom I heard only yesterday, came back from the mission-field and made statements about mission work, and our missionaries which I at once challenge as being untrue to fact, and when I ask for date and for place and for name, I know very well I shall get no reply to such questions as these. No doubt some have made mistakes, and efforts have been ill-directed. Very likely, for the instru- ment is human, even if the helper is Divine, and our brethren are fallible, though they are faithful men. No doubt some may say we ought to adopt new measm-es. Veiy likely, and our wisdom consists, not in criticising the past as in forecasting the future. For my own part I have no hesitation in pleading with our young men, that among all the considerations which appeal for home workers they should give to the claims of Christian missions abroad their due weight. We have, whether for home work or foreign work, but one motive and one hoiJe. Give yourselves to Christ first, and then come and help to win the world to Him. It is not we who call. It is He who calls. Can He call in vain 'f The age of Christian chivalry is not past. The sword which falls from the hand of the fathers the sons take up. And where sons fall other sons take their place, and are baptized for the dead. Christian heroism can never die. The graves on the Congo rebuke us if we think it can. It cannot die while we have such a Leader to follow, and while souls are unsaved who can bo o-athered to the Lord. Not long ago v,'o hoard a THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 18 good deal about a scientific frontier, and in search of it wo spent many- men and much treasure, and then retired without having found it. But the soldiers of Christ never retire, and the only frontier of His kingdom is the line which encircles the world. " As I live, saith God, the whole earth shall be full of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea," The next speaker was THE RBY. WILLIAM BROCK, who remarked : — There is one clear little photograph which the liiographers of that memorable 31st of May have seized, and which seems to mark the very crisis of the missionary enterprise. Carey's great sermon has been preached ; that sermon which men who heard it felt might well have awakened on the spot a passionate outburst of repentant tears. But the congregation has dispersed dry-eyed ; and the ministers also, after tlie other services of the day are over, are leaving the chapel without a word or sign of corresponding action. Even Fuller, that strong, square-built athlete- — athlete alike in body and in mind — that man "absolutely without fear," and with so "large a quantity of being" — is moving uneasUy away, when he feels his arm seized and Carey's imploring voice is in his ears, "What I are you again going to do nothing?" It was ii-resistible. The men were brought back. The first step was taken. The missionary Rubicon was crossed. The incident shows us the missionaey as himself the leader. It is the man who is resolved to go who sets and must set the example to those who stay. ' ' I must consider the Mission as oiiginating absolutely with Carey," is the witness of Fuller's own friend and biographer. It was Carey who drew forward the almost reluctant churches to the work of the Lord. A himdred years have shown that the missionary is still the leader. It has been the noble forwardness of om' own missionaiies which has in these days stirred the judse of our spirits and kept alive the drooping flame of zeal. The honours of the Centenary are largely due to them. If we meet to-day in such high hoj)e and confidence, it is they who by theii- brave and patient devotion have furnished the occasion. We share the triumph ; but the toils and sufferings of the Avar have been mainly theirs. They do not want our praises. They would say in the spii'it of their groat father, " Do not speak of Dr. Carey, sjieak of Dr. Carey's Saviour." And so we v,i.l\ ; but the Master is glorified in His sei-vants, and we do not dishonour Him when we offer to them our loyal and fraternal tribute. There is a personal debt which we owe under God's blessing largely to the niissionary enterprise Avhich it is appropriate distinctly to 14 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. acknowledge at a time like this. I refer to the higher and more enter- prising elements of Christian character which have been developed during the century among the churches at home. It Vv-as scarcely an heroic moment in the religious life of England when Carey sounded the alarm. Man neither expected much from God nor attempted much for Him. Most of the villages of England v.-ere Avlthout the light of the Gospel. In the to^vns hyper-Calvinism had petrified the heart and paralysed the arm of the churches. Even vv-here Christ v/as freely preached, it v/as with an excess of caution v.'hich destroyed all elasticity and enterprise. "Preach the Gospel and put down enthusiasm " is a contradiction in terms; but it is no caricature of fact. " Before the Mission began," says Fuller himself, "I did little but pore over my misery, and ransack my past experiences for evidences of love to God." Now, vv^hatever the defects of the churches to-day, there is an amount of activity, and one may say of true consecration, for vvdiich we are pro- foundly thankful. We are not so sound asleep as v>^e once were. Our village pastors not only hold the fort for Jesus, but they carry the war into all the country round. Our tov.-n churches have their spiritual pearl divers, who go down into the deepest watei-s for the souls they long to save. "The philanthropist," says the inscription on John Howard's monument in St. Paul's, " treads an open but unfrequented path to im- mortality." That may have been true in 1790; it is true no lono-er. Nay, our Christian benevolence has a courage and a confidence which makes it felt in the social movements of the day, and cannot be denied its demands. There is a Chiistian confidence v/hich has to be considted by Parliaments and Cabinets. It is the confidence that feels bound to care for the interests of social truth, purity, and progress. We have learned that the ideal of the Christian is not the silent life of the recluse Im.t the life of the servant and the soldier, having for its aim to redress and to deliver. It is worth many a long year of waiting even to come within sight of that ideal. But is it the creation of to-day ? Where have we learned it ? Is it not the missionary sj^ii-it Vv'hich has come v/ith this blessed reaction on the life of the churches at home ? Is it not the missionary conscience which has gone on to govern other realms beyond its own ? God has awakened us to hear the mournful wail of distant heathenism, and we hear, as we never heard before, the cjy of the degraded and oppressed at our ovm door. Miracles of grace abroad have strengthened us to pray and hope for nairacles of grace at home. We believe in God as v/e never should have otherv/ise done. " I bless God," VvTites Andrev/ Fuller, "that the Mission has been the means of reviving my ov/n soul. If nothing else comes of it, I and many more have obtained a spiritual advantage. My strength has been recovered, and my soul replenished." So little force is there in the argument that oui- foreign missionaiy THE -AIEETINOS AT NOTTINfiHAM. 15 activity Aveakens oui' power at home. It has multiplied it. Wo might have been dead to-day, mere ecclesiastical fossils, but for the nevv^ glov/ of life v/hich obedience to the Great Couimission never fails to give. May we not offer this as some alleviation to you, our beloved missionary brethren, for v»-hat we must often acknowledge are unreasonable demands upon your hard-earned leisure ? It is not iiierely — though this is nuich — that you keep us informed and impressed in regai-d to the missionary entei-piise itself in a vray that no report or magazine, however varied and pictm'esque, can ever do. You arc veritable sources of spiritual inspira- tion. You bring the iSa\-iour neai'er to our o^\^l souls as you recount His wonders among the heathen vs'hom you teach. Our younger people are sent away resohang to live to higher purpose than merely to shine in society and succeed in business. The older revive their earlier resolu- tions, confess theu- shortcomings, and pray for gi-ace to do better ere they die. We ovv^e this debt to God ; we shall best pay it to Him by Vv-orthily sustaining those vv'hom He has made the messengers of grace to us. It is they who at this crisis of missions are again crying to go forward. They are the Hopefuls, as much as the Faithfuls, of our enterprise. Such leaders ought to have followers to match. If the fighting men who bear the brunt of the attack are so keen for the advance, let the supplies bo hastened up. Venice was vv'ont in olden days to raise her military levies, and send them into the field under some great captain proved iir v/ar ; but ahvays by his side rode a civil officer on his ambluag palfrey, whose business it was to criticise and control the commander's plans and movements in the interests of prudence and economy. The chiu'ches do not desu-e to play that part in the missionary crusade. We aim, brethren, not at being your critics, but your comrades. We have not done, perhaps we cannot do, all that in your passionate pity for the heathen you demand. But we can do more, and we will ti-y to do more. For it is not your earnest voices alone that summon us, but " the voices of our fathers with thousandfold monition," and one from the throne far louder and sweeter than all, ' ' Freely ye have received, freely give." MR. H. M. BOMPAS, Q.C., being then called upon by the Chairman, spoke as under : — Mr. Chairman, Christian Friends, — We meet to-day undoubtedly -with feelings of thankfulness for what has been done in the past hundred years ; but I cannot help thinking we ought to meet with still more astonishment at what has not been done, and vv'ith a finn resolution that if one hundred years ago the Christian Chm-ch entered upon a new faith and a new com-se, that this j'ear the Christian Church shall again enter upon a new course and upon a new jiath. Wo meet here, I presume, almost all of us, as men and women Avho, in the most solemn way, have 16 THE CBNTENABY CELEBRATION. vowed that we are followers of Jesus Christ. We have said, in the most solemn way that we can do, that we consider ourselves, body, soul, and spu'it, not our own, but bought with the blood of Christ, and belong- ing to Him, and yet just think what the facts are. "Why did Jesus Christ come down from heaven ^ He came to save the world. Wo all acknow- ledge it ; and, going away. He said that He could not do it by Himself. He had -wi'ought the salvation, but He left it to you and to me to carry the news of the salvation to all mankind ; and He not only gave us that infinite honour that we shoidd share with Him in saving the Avorld, but He gave it as His last command to us that wo should share with Him in that high and holy work. Eighteen hundred years have passed with the command ringing in our ears, and 870,000,000 of people have never heard that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. Do not you think that the astonishment in heaven must be that it should be possible that Christ should give this honour to men and women, and they shoidd stay at home buying and selling, dancing and singing, doing anything rather than join with Him in saving the world ? For what have we done during the past hundred years ? Has it not been the case that we have been content that one or two Christians here and there should be good enough and great enough to go and join with Christ in preaching His truth ? Many of us have been astonished when here a man and there a woman has thought it worth while to go abroad, not to make a fortune, not to discover some new i-iver, but to make them- selves " heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ," and to spread abroad the Light of the Gospel into all lands. Yes, we have been siu-- prised — surprised that there should be anyone who had such an amount of common sense as to know that life is more real spent in that way than spent in the ordinary daily life Ave live at home. So with our money. We have all thought we ought to give a shilling once a year in the collection ; we had a little more money, and we gave a pound. We even gave five guineas, and the very rich gave their fifty or a hundred guineas, and we said, "What generous people they are I " Did it ever strike us what Jesus Christ said about generous people, that there Avere only two peoiple that Jesus Christ ever spoke of as generous, who He ever said had done what they should do ? There was the rich man who came to Him ; and He did not say " Give ten per cent, of your income, give half your income" ; He said, " Sell all that you have and give to the poor, and come and folloAV Me " ; and lest it should be said that that Avas for rich people, there came a very poor Avoman Avho had tAvo mites and .she put it into the treasury, and He did not say, " What an extravagant Avoman ! " He did not say, " You cannot expect Avorking people to help the service of God ; they have to Avork for their children and their homes." No r He said, " She has given all that she hath, she has given more than they all." No doubt there have been such people since— I suppose you and I THK MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 17 know people even in our day — who have caught the spirit of Christ, who have given all that they have, and given themselves, too, to preach the Gospel. But He spake it to all who had been baptized in His name. He did not say this to one or two ; He g;ive the chance to me and to most o* us, if we had only had the love in our hearts to do it. But now, after eighteen hundred years, within the last century, just a fcv/ have been found who have thought of folio-wing Jesus Chiist and sharing His honour with Him. Shall we not in the next century change all this ^ Shall v.'e not realise that it is not to be said who shall go and be a missionary, but who shall stop at home ;•' The natural thing, the thing that ought to couie home to every Christian as soon as he is baptized, is, "Jesus Christ came to save the world, and I Avill go and save the world, for He said He cannot do it without me," and then it may come to their minds, " Oh, but I must stop at home and take care of my father and mother," or " I must stop at home and perform this duty and that," or " The doctors tell me I cannot do it, and I must be content and stay at home and try and help those who go abroad." There may be reasons why we should not go, but oh, surely, the right view is that we should go unless we can show reasons why we should not, and that we should give all our money unless we can show reasons why we should keep it. " He who does not provide for his family is worse than an infidel " ; there may be reasons why we must spend our money in other ways, but oh, let us think with regard to every pound we have if we do not give it to the Missionary Society we must be able to say to Christ, "I do not give it to this for which You came from heaven because I am bound for Your sake to employ it in some other AVay." When we come into heaven He will ask us, not "What did you do v/ith the one guinea or the five guineas !' " but " What did you do with all that I gave you '' " and we must say, " I gave it all to the Missionary Society except what was wanted for my family, or for my home, or for this, that, or the other." We are most of us of the generation that is passing away. Wc might have preached the Gospel to every creature. I dare say you have all read Dr. Pierson's and Dr. Angus' pajaers, which show that it would bc' perfectly easy in ten years for any generation of Christians to preach the Gospel to every one of these .STO millions. If we Baptists alone of America and England were to send ten per cent. , only one man in ten to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, in ten years there would not be a man, woman, or child in the world who would not have heard that Jesus Christ came to save them. And remember that when the Jews came out of Egypt God did take ten per cent. He took one tribe out of twelve for His sei*vice. He did not think it was too much to give ten per cent. Any generation that would give one man in ten and one woman in ten to this work would preach the Gospel over the world. Wo shall have to go 9 18 THE CEKTENAEY CELEBRATION. into heaven and to say, ' ' This generation refused to save mankind. We stopped at home, buying and selling, and we would not go in Thy foot- steps and die for men as Thou didst die for men. " Oh, may it be that the next generation A'/ill do otherwise I John Foster said in his writings that he did not think there v/as any chance while Christians went on as they were doing of the world being converted ; but that sooner or later God v/ould pour out His Spirit, and then in a few years the whole world would hear the Gospel. Shall we not from to-day catch the Spirit of God ? Oh, fathers and mothers, it rests much with us. Shall we say to all our children, not as we have so often done, "Would you like to be an engineer ? Would you like to go to the bar ? Would you like to be a doctor?" but shall we say to them, "You have been baptized; I suppose you will go and preach the Gospel, like your Saviour did " ? When they say "No," then we may say, "Well, if you can give me a good reason, be an engineer ; if you have a good reason, be a doctor ; if you have a good reason, why, you must be content to be some of these things." But shall we not say to them, " You have got a chance of an honour of Avhich every angel and archangel v^ould be protid ; you have got a chance of being the ambassador of God Aliuighty to your fellow-man ; you have got a chance of sharing in the work of Jesus Christ your Lord, and if you cannot, if you will take the lower place, you must"? But oh, shall v/e not long from the bottom of our hearts that our children should have that honour 'i And one word more. Will not our churches wake up ? I cannot help thinking that people very often misquote that text in the Acts of the Apostles vfhere God's Spirit said to the Church at Antioch, " Separate me Paul and Barnabas." People quote it as if the Holy Spirit had said to Paul and Barnabas, " Separate yoru'selves from the Church." Not at all. No doubt the Spirit of God spoke to the Apostles, but He spoke also to the Church, and said, "Send these men; there are the heathen want teaching ; find out your messengers and send them." And I can- not help thinking that if God's Spiiit came upon our churches v^e should say, " We must spread the Gospel of Christ," and we should look out the best men and women in our churches, men and v/onien vrho are so good that they do not think that it is their duty to take this high honour, who do not see themselves as those who are most fitted to be the fiist and foremost of the human race, the follov/crs of Jesus Christ. Shall we not look them out and say to them, " We must have our best to go for us. Go and tell of Jesus Christ and wo v/ill help you " ? If we did so, then we might arrive, I think, at something like sending the ten millions. Dr. Angus said if v/e sent one in fifty we should jireach the Gospel to the world in ten years. Oh, surely our churches might look out one in twenty or thirty and say to them, " Go, and we will find the means, if need be, of sending yuu." For surely, my friends, the time THE MEETINfiS AT NOTTINGHAM. 19 imt'I; come v,-liL'u Ave slmll kiiuv.- that our money Avas given ns by Jesus Christ, when we shall feel that there is something better than keeping and heaping up treasure on earth, Wliy, Dr. Angus said that Christians hav(^ increased their property by a thousand millions in the last twenty or thirty years. Having laid up that wealth on earth we may manage to lay up tv/o or three millions a year in heaven. We are light in a cei-tain sense in rejoicing over the 100 years that have passed, but v/e know if we choose, before ten years are over, there need not be a man, woman, or child who has not heard the Gospel. Oh, my friends, forgive me if I am too earnest ; I oidy say it knoAving I have more need to say it to myself than to any of you, because Chiist seems to me to have laid it upon my heart to say it, and because there may be some here, some man, woman, or child who will feel it in their hearts, who may be more able than I am to carry it on to others, and the time may come v/hen not our gi-eat churches only but oiu- little village chm-ches will meet together and say, " We must send one or tv/o to preach Christ's Gospel," and our toAATi churches will meet together and say, "We must have ten or twenty to jjreach the Gospel," and our Church at large will say, "The; time has come when we must call again for Chiist from heaven." For do you remember it is said that the Gospel shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all, and then shall the end come" ':! You and I from childhood have knelt dov.ai and prayed, "Thy kingdom come," and we have never cared to do anything but pray. We have never taken the least pains to fulfil the condition, "The Gospel shall be preached in all the world." If we choose to we can do it in ten years or less, and then perchance our prayer will be answered and Jesus Chiist Himself Avill come. The Benediction was pronounced by the liev. J. Clark, of the Tabernacle Church, Nottingham. 20 THE CENiENAliY CELEBRATION. MISSIONARY SERMON. BY THE REV. DR. CLIFFORD. This discourse was delivered in Wesley Chapel, Broad Street. The preacher selected as his subject, " The Man and His Message," the text being the same Scripture— Isaiah liv. 2, a— from wliich William Carey preached his famous sermon a hundred years ago in Park Street Chapel. The devotional part of the service was conducted by the Rev. T. M. Morris, of Ipswich. THE SERMON. Permit me, began the preacher, to say, fathers and brethren, members of the Baptist Missionary Society, that for a long time I shrimk with an unconquerable reluctance from speaking upon Carey's historic and most sacred text on this solemn and joyous occasion. Again and again I tried other points of departure, and sought different foundations for the message I have to give, As Moses stood before the burning but abiding bush on "the mountain of God, even Horeb," and was struck to his inmost soul with vrondcring awe, so as I drew near to this bush of mis- sionary revelation, and saw it aflame with the far- spreading fires of two great eras of spiritual regeneration and progress, I was deeply humbled, and yet profoundly gladdened, intensely thrilled and yet dumb. But the pathetic scenes cast a spell over me. The light became glow- ing heat and the heat magnetic. I could not escape. Necessity was laid upon me. Awe passed into chastened joy, humility foimd fellowship with hope, and at last the locked lips parted for the fervent words of the amazed Peter, " Master, it is good to be here ; let us abide " ; and then the courage -giving voice came from the inmost centre of the light, "This, too, is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased, hear ye Him." He Himself still speaks from this ancient text : listen to Him. Therefore, God helping me, I must try to repeat the ancient message of the prophet as the present-day utterance of the Living Christ, and once more bid you, the inheritors of the inspiring memories and eternally reproductive results of Carey's work, " widen the place of your tent, and stretch forth the curtains of your habitation ; lengthen yoiu- cords, and make your tent-pins strong. For you will break forth on all sides ; your offspring v^ill take possession of the nations, and your children wdll people the THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 21 desolate cities, beoause the Eternal is your Creator, Jehovah of Hosts is His name, redemption is His chief work, and the God of the whole earth is He called." Moreover, no other starting-point for OTir centennial celebration is so fitting as this text. No words so adequately represent William Carey, the man and his message ; 7r/.s vnn vision of God ; hiafrp.th (iufhuth and vi-fn rmdiuf/ of his rtf/p ; his iiem and i/rpat heart of diviup /n'fi/ am! saiidh/ hproisms in sepkivf/ and savin f/ mrn. All God's words are holy and just and good ; but some have received so many consecrations, in the spiritual experience of men and nations, that they shine with a superlative beauty, and inspire with a matchless strength. In that succession of glorified messages this sapng of the seer's ranks first. It marks a creative moment in the histoiy of two peoples— the Hebrew and English ; peoples separated from each other by at least twenty-three centuries, but alike in the loneliness and sorrow of their lot, in lost ideas, lost loves, and lost hopes ; and alike also in near- ness to a newly arriving, although unseen, vocation. At first it appears as the mandate of a rejoicing prophet, bidding the Hebrew exiles hope the utmost from the living God, and make room for an infinite expan- sion and an illimitable progress. By this means it takes its place in preparing them to go up from the school and drill-ground of their captivity to the evangelisation of the world, Vkdtnessing for the one and only God, ever righteous and ever redeeming, always holy and always healing, the Father, Saviour, and Eenewer of the seed of Jacob ; but also a " light to lighten the Gentiles," and to carry His free and full " salva- tion to the ends of the earth." Yet once more this word of jjrophecy comes to men — this time to WiUiam Carey; and Carey "spake it from God, being moved by the Holy Ghost," exactly a hundred years ago in this town of Nottingham ; his speech being so manifestly " the fulness of Him that fllleth all in all," that it became, forthwith, first the authentic and authoritative proclamation of the " great commission" given by the ascending Christ to His disciples, to "go into all the Avorld and preach the Gospel to every creature " ; next, the initial impact in the formation of our modem societies for preaching the Gospel amongst the heathen ; and, subse- quently, the Divine impulse to the EngHsh-spotdcing race to undertake its God-assigned task of declaring to ali men th<- unsearchable riches of Christ. Oh, that the Eternal Spirit, the God of Carey and Fuller, Sutcliff and Eyland, in whose presence they and we alike now are, may so fill imd fire us with His quickening energies that we may obtain a new vision of God, a fresh conviction of our vocation as English Christians to seek and save all the lost, and " a new heart" that will constrain us to live, not to ourselves, bi;t to Him that died for us and rose again. 22 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. I. — First, we must note that this groat utterance fell from the lips of a man who had newly seen God, and caught thereby an original concep- tion of His redemptive work for the world through captive and desolate Israel. No one can miss the meaning of this joyous outburst. It is an evangel. It has the clearness of heaven's light, and the sweetness of heaven's music. It is an invitation to the weary and heavy-laden to the rest that comes of large hopes and widened service. Sursum Corda, he cries. Let not your heart be troubled ; you believe in God ; trust Him out and oiit and utterly; believe, also, in your calling and election, and make it sure. Do not give way to repining, though you are lonely and heartsore as a childless woman. Say not, " My tent is destroyed, and all my tent-pins are plucked up : my children are gone away, and theie is none to spread out my tent any moi'e, or to set up my tent cur- tains."* Get up and make your tent-pins strong; lengthen your cords, and fasten your plugs. Be not content with a little space. Eoomiuess and magnificence befit your prospects. Your expulsion will be yoiu' expansion, your desolation your increase, your captivity your exaltation. The area covered by your race shall be larger than of yore. Sharpen the edge of expectation to its utmost keenness. You can never hope too much of God. He out-soars your highest anticipations. Though His chastisements are grievous, afterwards they work oiit the peaceable fruits of righteousness. "Work on, therefore, in an unfearing temper, and as though already in full enjoyment of the glorious issues of His salvation. " God's comforts they shall strengthen thee Like flowing waters cool, And He shall for thy spirit be A fountain ever full. " The Lord is glorious and strong, Our God is very nigh ; Oh, trust in Him, trust now in Him, And have security. " He shall be to thee like the sea, And thou shalt surely feel His wind that bloweth healthily Thy sicknesses to heal." But we must not forget the prophet could speak that word of hope and endeavour because he had received his new vision of God. Insight Avas the warrant for utterance. He was a seer before he was a speaker. He knew the meaning of the exile through his purer conception of the character and purposes of Jehovah. He saw the gupreme and universal sovereignty of God ; the universal brotherhood of man ; the essential * Jeremiah ^xxiii. ?0, THE ilEETIXGS AT NOTTINGHAM.. 23 spiiituality of the Hebrew religion, in that it could and would exist without a temple and mthout a priest, without an altar and without a land, v^ithout anything save the soul and God, and that it was to cease to Ijo a local religion and become universal, and, instead of remaining a national luxury, would become an aggressive niissionary and world- saving agency. He saw that God still "delighted in mercy," could and would "blot out sins, though they were as a cloud," and his soul was "jubilant over the expiation of Israel's sin through the sei-vant of Jehovah, as unfolded in the previous chapter."* He looked along the highways of the future, and saw the approach of the delivering God, and cried, " Behold your God I " — coming as a strong victor, dispensing His rewards and administering His judgments ; as the Shepherd, taking the lambkins in His arms, and gently leading those that give suck ; as the matchless Deity, the unequalled One before whom all the gods of the nations are as nothing, and less than nothing, and vanity; coming to save the "peoples of the world," to hasten the time when " all flesh shall come to worship before the Lord,"t and " every knee shall bow, and every tongue swear by His name. "J So the golden age leaps to the front, never to go behind again. The idea of God as the one and only source of eternal redemption and of everlasting progress is born in the heart of this seer, and on that he proclaims Israel, the holy remnant, the Servant, the Apostle, and Missionary of the imiversal God to the Universal man. "Salvation is of God, but through the Jews." A century ago our English chm'ches were, for the most part, earned into captivity by false exegesis, false dogma, false sentiment, and false living. They thought they were rational, and they were only hai-d; they claimed to be respectable, and were only frigid ; they asserted their culture, and were only vainglorious, bereft alike of hope and endeavour, of ardoiu" and industry, of love and loveliness. True, in some quarters, the breath of the evangelical revival was blowing healthily. Methodism was passionately seeking the lost Englishman. Eaikes was creating a school for the Englishman's child, and Howard was opening the door of the European prisons for England's dawning philanthropy ; but the great missionary idea, which is the soul of the Christianity of Chiist Jesus, was so completely lost that practically it was inoperative ; or so obscured that it was only present to a few solitary souls, and even in them it dwelt more as a stranger or a guest, and not like a child at home I It is, indeed, a mai-vel that, once having been given by Christ, and incoi-porated in the early victories of Christianity, it should ever hav(> been pushed aside by human selfishness. But man has a fatal and pathetic facility both for losing himself and his best treasures. Apos- * Cheyne's "Isaiah," Vol. II., J^^. t Isaiah Ixvi. "23. ~. Isaiah xiv. 23, 24: THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. tolic Christianity went everywhere preaching the Word. It was essen- tially aggressive. It placed itself by the side of the ancient religions of Greece and Eome, always absorbent of their good, but finally replacing them by its richer ideas and stronger spiritual impulses. The fires of the Christ-given passion to save all men burnt on, although, alas I with diminishing intensity for more than two centuries. Then the Church became sacerdotal and ceased to be missionary, spent its energies in theological debate, and ceased to save souls ; and so, for more than five hundred years, hardly an acre of ground was won in the East ! Won ? Nay, the invading Moslem made her ancient territories desolate, compelled her to pluck up her tent-pins and hie away. Christianity retreated before the fierce energy of the disciples of the Koran. Zion was barren ; Palestine a waste ; Antioch, the Serampore of the early Chi'istians, succumbed to the modem Pharaoh ; Alexandria, that had displaced Plato for Christ, now preferred Mohammed to the Saviour. The Constantinople of Chrysostom was crowded by the teachers of Islam ; and even Eome itself did not escape the usurper's encroach- ing sway. Chi'istianity was being driven from its base in the East to the West, and advancing, but with painful slowness, towards its new fields. Mediaeval missions, brilliant at far-parted points by the clear shining of souls of rare devotion and seraphic zeal, vv^ere sorely hindered by the blinding and crippling notion of the swift ending of the world. And after the beginning of the second millennium the churches v^ent so far astray from " the mind of Christ" that Luther's massive energies were wholly absorbed in " reforming " the religion of the churches. The Eeformation itself had little or no missionary passion, and the desponding leader said, with unfathomable sadness — a foregleam of the agony and pity that stirred the churches at a later date : ' ' Asia and Africa have no Gospel ; another hundred years and all will be over. God's Word will disappear for want of any to preach it." tSurely not, O prophet of God ! The Word of the Lord endureth for ever. When the tale of bricks is doubled, then comes Moses. When the night is darkest, then up leap the stars. The Living God is always at work. Even now, O Luther I His seers are on the hill-tops of vision, and the heathen are coming into sight ! The exploration of the world was opening the eyes of men, and for a Christian man an open eye is an open heart. The God who found a shepherd for His people in Cyrus, the polytheist, has an anointed servant in Columbus, the sailor and world- discoverer. " Cromwell dreams of a Missionary College, and maps out the world into sections for Christian conquest." Eoger Williams, Eliot, Brainerd, Ziegenbalg, Rchwartz, and others are signs that the day of the Lord is at hand ; the day of His second great manifestation as the God of the whole earth, " the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but ajlso for the sins of the whole world." THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 25 An astronouioi' gazed so long on the siui that lie could see nothing else. The image was bumed into him. For years before May 31st, 1792, the ^^sion of God as the God of Missions had arrested, held, moulded, and swayed the soul of Carey. Whilsthe was a journeyman shoemaker "he had fonned his owii system" and "had been filled A^th the Di^'ine missionary idea."* This was in 1779. Early in his life, and when he was in touch mainly wnth God and Avith His AVord, " it had pleased God to reveal His Son in him" through the "Master-book of the Master-age" — i.e., through the Bible, the missionary book of a missionary people, the fittest of all books for an age of vast territorial expansion. "Wlion Professor Park was asked ' ' whether an old sermon might be preached a second time," he said, "Only on condition that it was bom again." It is so with all Scripture. The Bible lives by its rebirths. We " receive with meekness the implanted " — i.e., the inborn — " word." " Of His ovx-n will God brings us forth," or mothers us " by the word of truth that we may be a kind of first-fruits of His creatures." It was in contact mth that vital Word Carey's soul entered into conflict mth " the letter that was killing the churches," and AAnth the criminal supineness that made mission work an impossibility. Through the Scriptures he recovered the missionary idea, orbed out to the fidness and simplicity of the mind of Christ, freed from all contingencies of racial distinctions, governmental relationships, and conditions of civilisation, and placed on the broad bases of human brotherhood, loved and redeemed by Christ. Through the Scrij)tures he saw the Father and His purpose of redemp- tion, and clearly understood that there was no limit to what men might hope from God, and therefore no boundaries to what they should attempt for His Kingdom. And then, just as Luther took the forty-sixth Psalm and set it out in his own poetical sti'ain, " Eia ft»te Bunj ist nvtter Goff " (" a fortress strong is God our Lord"), till it thrilled and inspired the Gennan revolt against the impurities and iniquities of Rome ; just as our Cromwell fired the martial ardour of his soldiers with the message of the sixty-eighth Psalm, so Carey stood here a century ago, his soul bathed in tender pity and his tones full of pleading love, and, having stripped the thoughts of this seer of their Oriental garb, he then set them forth in the plain, jjractical, pungent, quotal)le, "Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God," and afterwards embodied them in a life of beautiful devotion and heroic self-sacrifice, effectually carried the missionary idea in its original New Testment fulness to ascendancy in the life of modern Christians. On the side of God that idea was an inspiration ; on the side of Carey it was a re-discovery — re-discovery of a conception central to the Bible as a revelation of the Father, to Providence as a ministiy of * « liife of William Carey, D.D,," by (feorge Smith, liL.D., pp. '.'7-70. 26 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. God to men, to history as a record of the dealings of God with men, and to Christian life and ser-vdco as an unfailing motive and conquering energy. So, friends, phrase it as Ave will, all our better and wider work for the world must begin vrith God : with a fresh view of His character and Spirit, with a new and insjjii'ing idea of Christ, and of the influence of His presence and swaj in the v/orld. The foregoing generations beheld the Eternal face to face. Why should not we y We must, if we are to finish Carey's work. They found the buoyancy, generosity, and passion of youth, not from tradition and history, but from an original and per- sonal communion with the Divine. Why should not we? We must. Carey went straight to the Bible itself, and " formed his ov,ti system " as he read its self- evidencing pages, and found his message and work for himself and his age. Why should not v^e ? "The Word of God is not bound." It is v/e vv^ho are bound by our selfishness and self-confidence, our pride and apathy. It is a seed ; a livmg seed. It grows. It yields harvests. One sacred text begets another. God speaks ; but the Infinite cannot say everything in a sentence, or pack His whole revelation into one soul. He speaks at sundry times and in different ways. He magni- fies His Word, and makes it honourable, by repetitions, re-translations, revised versions, re-announcements, victories. Isaiah repeats Micah, Luther repeats the Psalmist, Carey repeats the prophet, and so the Word of the Lord has free coiu-se and is multiplied. Eing out, then, the glad tidings, O Zion ; break forth into singing, 0 sons and daughters of Israel ! Expect great things from God. Prepare for wider advances on Buddhism and Confucianism and Mohammedanism. Get ready. Thou shalt spread abroad on all sides — in India and China, in Africa, and in the isles of the sea, for our God has in these later days given us — yea, to us — a new vision of Himself in His Son. ' ' We see Jesus," not in the symbols and traditions of the churches, but on the radiant pages of the evangelists, and immanent in the v.'hole advanc- ing life of the world. God has led us back to Himself in His revelation of Jesus, so that He may lead us forvv^ard in self-sacrificing endeavour to win " the heathen for His inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for His possession." II. — It is a revealing fact that, though Carey gained his message from the words of prophecy, he expressed it in the simple and characteristic language of the closing years of the eighteenth century — the centm-y of the expansion of England and of the great evangelical revival. " Expect great things," said he — in that ho voiced the thought of his generation; '-expect them from God" — in that he expressed the knowledge and insight of men taught by the Spirit. Carey was the child of his century ; for he vras the child of God, and all the centuries are THE MEETINGS AT NOTTIXnnA:\[. 2< His ; and yot lie was so manifestly the creation of God that he was the one man of all the men of liis day who canied at his girdle the key that unlocked the treasures of his at^e and set them free for their highest woi'k. It is only lately the search-light of historical investigation has found the true significance of the eighteenth century. Formerly it Vv'as assailed Avith indiscriminate censure, and its woi-st featui'cs were painted with unrelieved gloom. No doubt a generation of prodigious material prosperity had brought to a head the ulcerous evils vchich had festered in the English nation for more than a century, and made the demand for a sharp and severe remedy in-esistible. No doubt England had been more barbai-ous, more inhuman, and more wicked than it was in the middle of the reign of the second George ; but its barbarity had never been so completely unrelieved by high enthusiasms, its inhumanitj' never so unredeemed by grand loyalties, its wickedness never so un- attended by saving excellencies and sublime aims. Even Puritanism seemed to have spent itself. The signs of vitality Avere few and scant. It yielded nothing but leaves, and those not of a very attractive sort. " The age of faith" had given place to an age of abstract speculation. Christianity was a hard and acrid syllogism instead of a rich and inspiring life ; it existed only to be proved and not to live by. Locke's treatise on the " Reasonableness of Christianity " is typical of the altered condition of things, and one of many signs that the Church of Chiist had become a school of disputation, that religion was confounded v/ith science, and that man was regarded as though he consisted of nothing but brain. Puritanism was dead in tresi^asses and sins, and needed to be made a "nev/ creature" in Christ Jesus, by the breath of the spirit of a great evangelical revival. Bad this, and as true as it is bad ; but it is not all. It Vv'as also a century of really great events, of decisive battles, of great decisions in the strife of peoples, of acts that carried the fate of mankind in their grasp. England was abroad. All her energies were wanted in fight. She was engaged in seven great v>'ars, and though some of them appear most aimless and confused, it is now seen that throiigh them all the question was being s(>ttled vvrhethei- France or England should own America and have supremacy in Hindustan. It is the era of a gigantic rivalry of two peoples, the French and the English, and it issued in the overwhelming defeat of France and the ascent to the leadership of the Nev.^ "World of our English-speaking race, v»dth its simple Nevv^ Testament I'eligion, its devotion to light and justice, its intrinsic love of liberty, and its robust and increasingly kindly humanity. In fact, as the Exile prepared the people of Israel to hear and understand the prophet, so the great wars, great ambitions, great accessions of territory prepared England to heed, to some extent, the thrilling summons of Carey : 28 THE CENTENAEY CELEBRATION. "Expect great things from God."* Tlie people lost their parochial and insular ideas, rose from the separation of the American colonies with vitality iinimpaii'ed and eye imdimmed, A^dth the expectation of ' ' great things" as keen as ever, and with theii* colonising zeal nnabated. They ceased to be Eiu'opean, and became universal, wending their way towards Africa, finding open doors into New Zealand, and sowing on the shores of Australia the seeds of great nations. Now Carey, with his new vision of God — gained by the Scriptiu'es — was the one man to see the essential significance of these events, and, with his undespairing trust in God's work for the whole earth, to convert that meaning into a spiritual and conquering force. I do not say that Carey expressed this in so many words ; for men who are in living touch with God see much more than they say, and go much further than they intend. But what Carey said and did demonstrates that he ascended the Pisgah of observation and looked out on continent upon continent, island upon island, people on people, massed from every source open to him information of their religious condition, analysed his results, generalised upon them with courageous hopefulness, fused them by the white heat of his love, and so spake and Avrought as to become the leader of the English people in their highest and best work over the ever- widening areas of their rule. He saw that bigness was not greatness ; that a people might take the first rank in magnitude and the second or fifth in intellect and morals ; and that, if we were not to lose even oxw material greatness, we must seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteous- ness. He stood and pleaded for the mission of English Christians to the heathen ; urged with agonising earnestness the wickedness of delay ; and became one of the first to aid in solving the problem of the nineteenth and of the twentieth centuries— viz. , What new shape and direction should England give to the vast empire she possesses ? The " great things " of the eighteenth century might lift England to heaven in privilege ; but, imless she sought the " great things " of God and His righteousness for all souls, she would assiu-edly — notwithstanding her greatness — be cast down to hell. Missions to the heathen were absolutely necessary to " crown the edifice " of Imperial greatness, and make it the happy home of the universal family of the Father. That luminous chaj)ter of English exj)ansion is not yet closed ; nor is it on the point of closing. Britain, greater to-day than ever, stiQ remains. Greater Spain and greater Portugal disappeared in the second decade of this century. Greater France was absorbed in the greater Britain of the last century. Greater Holland met with a fate almost similar. " Greater Britain is the sole sui-vivor of the whole famUy of empires which arose * " The expansion of England in the New World and in Asia is the formula which sums up for England the history of the eighteenth century." — Seeley'a " Expansion of England," p. 28, THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 29 out of the discovery of the New World upon the peculiar condition and political ideas of Europe."* Still the Saxon goes abroad, No country is foreign to him. Go where you will and Avhen you will it is almost im^jossible to get out of sight of the races of our fatherland. The Englishman is ubiquitous. You camiot keep him at home. He scales the loftiest ramparts and storms the stoutest baiiicades. Sheer restless- ness drives many from a goodly heritage in quest of a repose which is never discovered, and a satisfaction they never find. The Cross of the Lord Jesus is at once the standard and the starting-point of a large company of brave and noble men, who go into all the world to preach the Gospel to every creature. Science also leads forth an exceeding great ai-my of geographers and astronomers, chemists and botanists, and many of like precious pursuits. Political government carries the diplo- matist and the la-wyer, the soldier and sailor, often whither he would not. Commerce calls aloud upon her myriad subjects, and away they go, in clustering crowds, chart in hand, daiing in heart and hope, in eye, ready to follow whithersoever she may lead. There is no spot, indeed, on the wide earth, not even suspicious and hesitating Japan, or inhospit- able Siberia, from which the Saxon is effectually banished. But woe to us if we forget that as God sent the Jew to witness for Him and the religion of Eevelation, so He sends us to preach the Gospel to eveiy creature. The wider our dispersion the greater "the obligations of Christians to use means for the conversion of the heathen." The diffu- sion of the English I'ace over the planet as leaders in the life of the world bids us translate the words of the prophet and of Carey into the language: " Every Englishman a Christian. All Christians missionaries. All men of our own generation brought to know God and His Son, Jesus Christ, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life." Is, then, our vast material progi'ess and rapidly-extending empire to be a school or a grave, a means of grace or of death '1 The answer is with us Christian men. It is not egotism to say that ; it is only the recogni- tion of the responsibility of spiritual leadership. The millions are led by the best hearts, the clearest minds, and the most energetic characters. If the men who receive the best teaching and get the highest nurture luxuriate on the low plains of an animal existence, then the crowds will not look for or accept nobler ideals or more exalted ways of living. We want prejjared men and women — men prepared by prayer, by faith, by knowledge ; saints who are scholars, scholars who are saints, as Cai'ey Was, and the golden moment will be at the doors. God has called us to the place once occupied by the Jews. This is our vocation, and it is at our peril we fail ; we must aim at the rescue of the individual. That is first.

III. — George Sand reminds us : " It is the heart that governs the world ; it is feeling that performs the real miracles of history." The biggest Avorld that has no love in it is small. All greatness in art, in life, is of the heart ; and, therefore, the story of modern missions, the story of Carey, can never grov/ old in a world v/here love and sacrifice are the centi-al forces. New ideas of the God of Love, if they are true, beget love, heighten aim, broaden sympathy, stir zeal, uplift and cleanse ambition. Carey's Nottingham sermon was the utterance of his new vision, the application of his nev/ reading of his age, but it was given with a new heart, and, therefore, was bathed in pathos, and throbbed with feeling. 5 Dr. Eyland says : "If all the people had lifted up their voices and wept, as the children of Israel did at Bochim, I should not have wondered at the effect. It would only have seemed proportionate to the cause, so clearly did he prove the criminality of our supinenessin the cause of God." The sermon v,^as the echo of the tearful cry that had been ringing in his soul for yeai'S. It voiced his deep fervoiu's. It v/as the logic of his incomparable "Enquiry" set on fire of love. It was the appeal of his great heai't, great sympathies, and great expectations, urged by his enduring belief in the redemption of the vilest manhood by Christ, and the satisfaction of the most acute and searching intellect by His Gospel. The Divine pity dwelt in him, and fed his persisting effort, his un- flagging zeal. He had risen to the mountams of vision, and seen the gi'eatness and misery of the world. He v/as " a living flame for God," burning with tmflickering steadiness. He was ever planning and attempting greater and greater things for God. His very dreams were made of the "stuff'" of missions. "The harvest truly is great, and the labourers bear scarcely any proportion thereto," is his ceaseless lament. Geography had one meaning for him, and one message ; that meaning was a demand for the missionary, and that message, "Attempt gi'eat things for God." Talking to the lads in his school, he pointed to the different pai'ts of the earth marked on his leathern globe, and said of the inhabitants, " These are Christians, these ai'c Mohammedans, and these are Pagans," and his voice quivers with strong emotion, as he repeats and again repeats the last mournful words, " These are Pagans." For he sav,r v/hat it meant of blank; despair, of fathomless ignorance, cl'uel superstition, and galling misery. I'HE 3[ELTrX(;s AT NOTTINGHAM. 31 Thus Carey's pcrsisteut detenuiuatiou that the Church should (r>'aiige- hse the world was fed by what Vinet calls "the isassion for souls." His perception of evil was acute. His sense of sin strong. His reliance on Christ unhesitatingly entire. He scarcely seems to have had a thought apart from Christ and His salvation. And yet at the root of all, and over all, and through all was a self- consuming love of men — of all men, and of "heathen" men most of all; and, therefore, forgetting himself , this one thing he did, he foimded modern missions liy the gift of himself, out and out, in serving and suffering so that he might save men. Ah ! brothers, it is here we fail. Wo do not love men for their own sake or for God's sake. It is this we need ! A love like Hemy Martyn's, when ho " lay in tears, interceding for the unfortunate natives of India, thinking vrithin himself that the most despicable Soodra of India was of as much value in the sight of God as the King of Gi-eat Britain." It is love for man as man. O Christ Jesus ! fire us with that love now, that so we may belong to that "... Sect, which hath no dread of death, But will spend life and breath, and gold and pains, To succour any wretch ; because they hold This Christ did die for him." Michael Angclo once visited the study of the young Raphael. The junior artist was not in, and Angelo departed v/ithout leaving his name ; but before he left, he took a piece of chalk and drew, on the canvas beneath the poor and meagre design of Eaphael, a bold, sweeping line, and added the word, " Amplius." Eaphael, seeing this, knevr at once who had been, and forthv/ith changed his style, and became the painter the world calls divine. Brothers, Christ Jesus comes thus to us, and looking at our contracted aims, and poor schemes, and meagre work. He Avrites underneath: "Amplius, Amplius — wider and further; more and still more." We need to change our style. It is cramped and fettered. It wants the freedom of His unselfishness, the glow of His marvellous enthusiasm, the energy of His purity, the majesty of His repose, the spontaneity of His love, and the triumph of His obedience. New battles are before us, and new victories. Now difttcultics await us, but God v/ill not fail us. He will conquer. Ho, and Ho alone, is the Eock of Ages. India has no problem He cannot solve, Africa no gloom He cannot lift, China no weakness Ha cannot remove, and no virtue He cannot perfect. God is before iis. He leads.

Still let us pray. We need men and women of great heart, of cultivated thought, of glowing pity, of chivalrous devotion. Pray ye the Lord of the harvest to thrust out more labourers. The vision of God comes to those who pray. It was in Nottingham, just eight years afterward, Carey bade a small company of earnest men hope great things from God, and in that hope attempt great things for Him. Undying hope is the secret of vision, and the sources of patient and determined work. From this Midland Jerusalem, on this Centennial Day, let us go forth to more believing and fervent prayer, to brighter expectations, nobler gifts, and larger service. After this service, a large number of guests were entertained at a luncheon, kindly provided by Mr. W. Hunt. THE 3IEETINGS AT NOTTINCxHAM. 33 A LADIES' MISSIONARY MEETING was held in the afternoon in Mansfield Road Chapel. In the unavoidable absence of Mrs. Edwaed Medley, who had been announced to preside, DR. UNDERHILL took the chair, and spoke as follows : — My iii'st word must be a word of explanation. We have received tidings that Mrs. Medley is obliged to remain in London. At the last moment, therefore, we have had to ask the Treasurer of the Zenana Mission — Mrs. Underhill, my dear wife — to take the chair on this occasion. My wife, unfortunately, is extremely modest and reserved, and has no power, she says, to speak at all. That I rather question sometimes. But she is quite unable to speak to an audience like this, and; therefore, there seems to be no other alternative than that I should introduce the business in a few words on the growth of this Zenana work. I do so with the less hesitation because it forms a very material portion of the work of the Centenary Year of the Baptist Missionary Society. Although the Mission itself is not a hundred years old, yet it has formed a portion of the groAvth of the Mission, and has now become a most essential condition of its progress and success. The commencing of this work is in itself an extremely interesting question. I think I am coiTect in sapng that not until the year 1823 — -that was about thirty years after the foundation of our Mission — -were our missionaries able, in any way whatever, to reach the women of India. They then found it possible to gather a few ghls together in the city of Calcutta. Finding a Bengali woman able to read, they gave her the task of teaching some of her fellow-countrywomen and girls, and especiaUy to communicate to them the Word of Life. Still there was no admission into the houses of the respectabl(> portion of the community. The wives and daughters of the lower class were more accessible, but still thou- prejudices were too strong to allow their childi-en to form schools of any magnitude or with much hope of success. So the education of the Avomen was partially carried on at Serampore as well as at Calcutta till the year 1838, when one of our missionary ladies started a mission at the house of an intelligent and instructed Bengali gentlewoman, and there taught the ladies reading and writing, and more especially the Word of God. The number gradually increased until Mrs. Sale, through ill-health, transfen-ed the few houses to which slie had obtained admission to the 3 34 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. late Mrs. Mullens, Avife of the Secretary of the London Missionary- Society. On her return to India, Mrs. Sale was placed in a district where she commenced holding a large class of girls, but did not find very much access into the houses of the natives of that district. Then followed various efforts of the Church Missionary Society and ■ the London Missionary Society to reach the higher classes of women. It was a very great difiiculty, but they were at last enabled to gather them to a promising extent into classes and schools. They partially succeeded, being very much aided by the growth of education among the yoimg men of Bengal. There had slowly arisen up under the tuition of missionaries a considerable number of young men trained in English learning and literature as well as in other matters of intelligence and science, and they began to perceive their oavti home life was not a very gratifjdng or pleasant one. They could find no response in the minds or affections of the women of their households, and they began to long, therefore, for educated girls for wives, and this has led step by step, as you may imagine, to the admission of missionary ladies into the house- holds of a large number of educated young men ; and though progress was very slow, still Ihe effort grew, and each mission more or less was able to lay hold of the question, and, by encouragement and in various ways, the work extended till a considerable number of households had been thrown open to Bible-women and to the messages of the Gospel. I need not dilate upon or say a word as to the vast importance of this movement, or on the very wonderful and remarkable growth to which it has attained, so that now very large numbers of our missionaries and, missionary ladies are constantly admitted to the households and to the women and children in the households of Hindu and Moslem families, They are able to speak, and to teach, and to preach, I was going to say, and indeed to communicate to them a knowledge of the Gospel of Christ. Now I shall leave to the ladies behind me to give you the detail of all this work. It was a slow but yet sure commencement, and it has grown with such a remarkable degree of rapidity that it promises to be one of the largest and most efficient of operations of missionary societies in India, and it is an indication of the breaking up of the social system of the Hindu people. It will be an interesting story to speak of that subject and how it has attained to its present form and position. But now, it was just like the ancient empii-e — for years inaccessible, now accessible in very many ways and in very many particulars — and this movement is constituting one of the most powerful infiuences at work at the present moment in transforming Indian and Hindu and Mussulman society. I am sure it will d.^elight you to hear the story of these gratifpng successes, and you will find, I doubt not, great encouragement in what will be mentioned to sustain a work of such a promising, such a high and THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 35 elevated quality. If we f^ain the women of India for Christ, wo have no doubt there will be many a child leaiTiing at its mother's knees those sacred hymns and those gracious traths and those living doctrines of the Gospel of Clirist which viill transform their minds and biing them into the fellowship of the Gospel. I wUl now call upon a lady who is well known by the name I shall mention — Miss Marianne Farningham — to speak to you. MISS HEARNE (MARIANNE FARNINGHAM). Dear Friends, — Carey, the great worker, must have been a gi-eat dreamer also. As he walked the meadows and woodlands of Northamp- tonshii'e, visions which hava since become facts must often have pictured themselves to his mind; and it is quite likely that, even before the Missionary Society was formed, he saw in fancy the first black-faced congi'egation listening to the Gospel, and even the first baptism in the Ganges. But I think we may take it as absolutely cei-tain that, even in his most romantic imaginings. Dr. Carey never foresaw the place in the missionary enterprise which has come to be occupied by women. If, indeed, the sympathy of one woman, respecting whom he had many anxieties, could have been secured, he might have had a glimpse of the future ; but Mrs. Carey gave him no prophecy of the day when the care of the heathen should be upon thousands of women's hearts — not as a burden, but as a trust lovingly given and loyally received. These hundred years have wi-ought no changes greater than those which have affected the position of women in every department of life — social, political, and religious — and in every department of Christian work. Even during these later years, which some of us can remember, the advance has been almost staii:ling. There is no telling what might not have been but for a cautious letter from a wise old man Avritten a few weeks ago ; but it is a reason for great rejoicing that so many women have found an outlet for their energies and satisfaction to their hearts in the safe, womanly ministries possible to them on behalf of other women and children in the great mission-field. It is a fact to make us supremely thankful that to-day, of the 7,921 missionaries at work, 3,228 of them are women; and also, I think, we may rejoice that 1,2G0 have gone from Great Britain. I feel myself that the entire sex is uplifted and ennobled by these 3,228 women. With aU our weakness and proneness to make mistakes, many of us are permitted to have such honour as to work for Jesus in the mission-field, and, therefore, we need not stand aside when great work has to be faced, since there are more than three thousand heroines among us. "We claim these women as our o-s\ti, and are glad that we all have learned to admire and revere, instead of to criticise them ; and, even in our lighter times, at afternoon teas or garden 3* 36 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. parties, we are compelled to honour with the lip as well as with the heart, those who have been so highly distinguished by our Lord. "We all want to have a small share in their laboui-s, for our sympathies also are with those women and children who have not yet heard Christ's good ncAvs. "We, too, know what it is to labour- and be heavy laden, to make idols and find them clay ; and we wonder sometimes, with a tender- ness that makes us long to do something, how those women bear their lives who have never even heard of Jesus. "We believe that there is no civiliser like Christ. That is our faith, and that faith makes us respon- sible. You remember how, just one hundi-ed years ago to-day, when Carey had preached his wonderful sermon, and the people, though they had wept, appeared no more nerved than before to " expect great things from God, and attempt great things for God," he seized Fuller by the arm and said, " Are you, after all, going again to do nothing ? " It will be well for us if wg feel the touch of the vanished hand, and hear that rebukeful question ringing in our ears, for we have done so little in the past, and some of us have even done nothing. More prayer is wanted. More luomen are wanted. More money is ivarded. The workers need om- prayers. One Sunday afternoon a far-away sister missionary about to go to her work hesitated a moment. She knew that the way to work for Jesus is first to commune with Him, and that prayer should precede service, but the work thronged her — she had not time to eat, or even to pray. So she said, " O dear Lord, I have not time to pray this afternoon — here are persons waiting for their poor bodies to be healed ; here souls are listening for the "Word of Life to be spoken. O dear heavenly Father, put it into the heart of some good Christian woman in England to pray for me while I go and minister to these Thy little ones." It was on Sunday afternoon. In England many of this missionary's comrades were ministering to Christ's little ones in the Sunday-school ; and many were engaged with theii- dear childi-en at home ; but how many Christian women were simply resting ? And I am very glad to think that the Sunday afternoon is usually given up in England to a time of quiet restfulness. Rest is not only sweet, but very necessary. Yet Christian women should not rest in forgetfulness of those who are bearing the burden and the heat of the day. I loiow a number of dear guis who intend to select from the female missionaries mentioned in the Herald some woman each month for whom specially to pray. Might not the members of each Christian home or family do the same, or even the members of a church, and so sanctify the Sunday afternoon r I wish we could have throughout the country this beautiful concert of prayer, and that all women together might be especially pleading for those who are at work then. Let us pray ; it is the very least that we can do. More tvomcn are wanted. Medical women, nursing women, motherly THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 37 women, women with hearts, are required in many countries. But only the best must be sent, and the standard of character, ability, and fervour must always be high. As we have been hearing, the door is opened. Let the women pass through. Women who come up to this standard are needed for Zenana work, for educational purposes in India, and all other countries. Did you notice the report of Dr. Glover and Mr. MoiTis on China ? They say, " We feel strongly the urgent need of an addition to our forc(>s, and we can imagine few jjositions in wliich a Christian lady of strong affections and devout character could effect so large a usefulness." And they tell the pleasant story of one lady, Mrs. Watson, the helpmeet of Dr. Watson, who, among the women of China, was consulted at the rate of sixty patients a day. I have been di-eaming of one way in which this Centenary might be worthily kept— namely, by one hundred more lady missionaries being sent into the mission-field, equipped and maintained by a special and extra fund raised by the Christian women of Great Britain. Dear friends, it could be done with- out interfering with that which is already being done. I am quite sure of that. We want, first of all, to have hope ; we want faith, we want to pray for it, but we want to make up our minds that it shall be done. A little of that proverbial will of ours is wanted. "When a woman will she will." We want a Httle consecrated obstinacy, and then I am quite sure we should find it not impossible. One hundred more women workers in so large a field — what would they be like ? Like a drop in a bucket ? Nay, but like the leaven which the woman hid in three measures of meal till the whole was leavened. What would it mean ? It would mean that a hundred large-heai-ted, clever girls now silently longing and prajing, and, though they do not know it, preparing, would have the desires of their hearts. And numbers of those other women — our sisters, for whom Christ died— who are now sitting in shadow, woxdd see a gi-eat light, and would be led by gentle hands to the feet of their Saviour ; and something Avould be done to hasten the time when His Kingdom will come and His will be done. I hope there are some here — some young ladies — who feel to-day that they will give themselves to this work. Perhaps you are hearing in yonr hearts those old words which we all think of, ' ' Expect great things from God ; attempt great things for God," and you are trying to silence the voice. You think it is no use. Oh, do not stifle that voice I It is the voice of the Spirit. Listen to it, and in this place this afternoon make a vow that as for you you will consecrate yourselves to this service. More money is wanted. If the hundred thousand pounds asked for by Mr. Baynes be forthcoming, it is certain that a number of other female missionaries will be sent. There is little doubt but that to most of us greater liberality is possible. We ought to have at least 38 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. the grace to blush if we ever sing Frances Havergal's beautiful hymn — " Take my silver and my gold, Not a mite will I withhold," when the only mites we do not withhold are some threepenny-pieces and sixpences. Surely, surely, women do know something of the joy of giving. Because we have so much sympathy with it we are thrilled, even to-day, by that old story of a woman's love which tells of one who, not staying to count the cost, took an alabaster cruse of ointment of spikenard, very precious, and broke it, and anointed the head and the feet of Jesus. Are not we also capable of an extravagance of love ? Let but the object be worthy, and Ave need not restrain either hearts or hands. It is for Jesus ! This is our warrant, and it is for all the world when it is for His sake. If only His prayer were answered — "Thy Kingdom come ; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven " ! England prevents it. England has power, money, enterprise ; and England sends her ships laden with the drink to madden the peoples whom she ought to bless, and allows other wrongs to be perpetrated in her name, the thought of which ought to bow us to the earth with shame. It is a reason for our enthusiastic support of the Mission cause that we owe the heathen this atonement. But to-day we are to think, not of failures, but of successes, for we have them. Results are, as to a large part of them, always invisible. We see only a little of what there is. But in this case we see so much that this Centenary is a festival of joyous sacred song. What wonders God has wrought ! How many who, a hundred years ago, had never heard of Jesus are now a multitude who minister to Him ! What bands of little ones have been brought for Him to lay His hands upon them and bless them I And the fields are white, ready to harvest. May the women come and glean in the fields after the reapers ! There is abundance of corn in the earth at the top of the mountains ; the fruit thereof shakes like Lebanon. And the cry, if not yet luiiversal, is taken up every day by some fresh voices: "His Name shall be continued as long as the sun, and men shall be blessed in Him ; all nations shall call Him blessed. Blessed be His glorious name for ever, and let the whole earth be filled with His glory." MRS. TURNER, of North China, was the next speaker. I feel, she said, that it is both a duty and a privilege to speak of the work in China. I wish someone were here who could do it more worthily, but I have been asking God to help me that I may speak a word as from Himself. It is a very special day, this day, on which we THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 39 have met together, and I am sure we all hope that the result of our gathering may bring gi-eat glory to God and greater strength to His Kingdom. I come to speak to you about China and our work there. Many of you know that most of our Baptist Mission work in China is carried on in the two northern provinces of Shan-si and Shan-tung — • Shan-si meaning "West of the HiUs," and Shan-tung "East of the Hills." Shan-tung is the province in which we have by far the larger work. But Shan-si is the province where I have been labouring, and, therefore, as my home in China, it is the place I want to speak of to you a little this afternoon. China is such an immense place ! The province of Shan-si is one of the smallest of the eighteen — there are only one or two smaller — and yet this one province is larger than England, and has a population more than one-third of that of England. Think of that ! One province larger than England ! There are eighteen ^jrovinces, and some of them are twice as large as Shan- si. There are three main districts in Shan- si where our work is being carried on. These three places I want to bring before you especially, with the three families now living there — Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, at Shih-tieh, Mr. and Mrs. Farthing, at Tai-yiien-foo, and Mr. and Mrs. Dixon, at Hsin-cheo. I have them very often in my thoughts. After having lived there for several years, one cannot helj) realising, in a way that would be impossible to those who have not been there, the need of the people and the need of the missionaries. I wanted to mention these three families— and there are little children in each — -so that I might ask you to remember them specially in your prayers. Our friend who has just spoken has reminded you of the need of prayer, and I do feel, more and more, what a great deal of help those who are at home might give to the work in foreign mission-fields by daily, earnest, helieving prayer. Our friends in Shan- si are eight hours ahead of us in time. "When we are about to retire to rest they are beginning their day. While my husband was away I felt it such a joy to commend him to God when he was about to begin a fresh day's work. I think some of you might take up Divine work in that way for these three families. I speak of them, not because other missionaries do not need your prayers quite as much, but because I think we pray always most heartily for those we knt)W. They do need your help. I feel that they need to see Jesus all the time each day, and all through the day to see Him who is invisible, if they are to battle at all successfully with the difficulties in the way. Friends have sometimes asked me, since I have been at home, whether I would rather live in China or in England. I was very happy in China, and I hope wo shall be enabled to return. I am ready to go, for I feel it a jarivUege to live there for Christ's sake. But if you ask me whether I should choose to live there, I say. No ! And my little boy, who spent seven years of his life in China, would say just as emphatically, No ! 40 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. China is not the place we should choose to Uve in for our own pleasure. I have never realised so much as during the last two years what a beautiful place our own country is. In North China we have not the pretty foliage there is here ; the climate there is far more desolate than that of England. Certainly we have no fogs in Shan-si, but still every- thing is very drear and desolate during the long winter months. And then we, women-folk especially, are apt to get fits of home-sickness. Everyone is subject, more or less, to low spirits, and being missionaries does not prevent such things. They try us there as at home, and try us more at some times than at others. Oar station was 400 miles from the coast, and if we wanted to see a change of faces we had to go a long way. Mr. and Mrs. Dixon are at work there now all alone; they are the only famUy living there, and I feel we have especial cause to praise God for His wonderful goodness in helping them. Mrs. Dixon is far from being a strong woman, and she seems to need society very much, and yet she has been enabled to work on in spite of loneliness and low spirits. With all these things there is such a need that you should pray that they may be able, day by day, to see Jesus and to lean on Him, and find in Him their exceeding joy. We missionaries want a good deal of help from our comrades here in England. We get a good deal of help from each other. I think there is nothing like there being only two or three families together in a station to draw you to one another. I feel that some of the sisters I worked with in China are amongst my dearest friends. We do not get very much help from the companionship of the Chinese till converts are made. The heathen are, for the most part, untruthful, unthankful, greedy, and dishonest, and you know how that must tell upon one, and how it sometimes makes one feel disheartened and dis- couraged. Yet God is able to refresh the spirits of His servants, and I hope you will pray more for our friends there. Now, I wanted to speak very especially about the opium. I have felt it very much on my heart to refer to this whenever I have an opportu- nity. The opium trade is a terrible hindrance to our work — God's work in China — and, of course, in England too. I should like to read two or three lines from Dr. Glover's report about this. I feel it is so forcible. " When it is remembered that the use of opium is so extensive that it is the general (though, we hope, exaggerated) opinion that seven men out of every ten, and six women out of every ten, in the cities smoke opium, and one-third of all the men and women in country districts, it will be understood at once that an immense addition to the usual obstacles and difficulties exists here. It is hardly by accident that Shan-tung, being one of the provinces most free from the opium vice, should also be one of the most receptive of Gospel testimony, and Shan-si, being one of the worst for that vice, should be one of the least receptive. For, while opium- smoking has defenders amongst Europeans Avho do not practise it, we THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINCxHAM. 41 met with no Chinaman who did not look upon its use as a grave calamity. Most thoughtful Christians wUl see, in the wide extent of a vice introduced into China by Englishmen, and fostered by our country in those dark ages of legislation from which we have so recently emerged, a reason not for abandoning a field, but for increasmg our efforts to introduce the antidote where we have inflicted the bane." Constantly, when our missionaiy brethren are preaching in the cities and villages — and it is in the villages that they get their most encoui-aging congregations — after having had good attention, and feeling thankful for another opportunity of speaking to numbers the Word of Life, they are met with this difficulty. In the little quiet that comes after, and the talk amongst the people, often and often will come the question, " Ah, who brought us the opium ? " Can you realise, dear friends, how disheartening it is P and not only that, but it must tell against our missions! We all believe in the adage, "Actions speak louder than words." We cannot expect the Chinese — especially in the far interior— to distinguish between ojpium traders and missionaiies ; we are all Englishmen to them and foreigners. And, surely, it must come to them with gi-eat force, and stifle the earnestness of many Chinese if the thought comes in, "With all their fine talk they brought us the opium, the great curse of our countrj'." Women have often told me of the trouble and sorrow that have come into their homes, and how they have been reduced in cii'cumstances, and have been getting lower and lower in the social scale. And when I have asked how this all came about, they have replied, " The big smoke," or quite as often " The foreign smoke." They call us "■ Foi'eigii devUs," and the opium is the ^'Foreign smoke," and, therefore, belongs to us. The very name they give it links it to us, and people who know nothing at all about us have heard that, and it stamps us not as then- friends, but as their enemies. Of com-se, by and by, as they get to know us better, and as they get to understand the truths of the Gospel, they understand that the missionary is not the opium-trader; but the mass of the people do not know it. Not long ago a missionary was speaking to a Chinaman, and the conversation turned on the subject of hell. He asked the Chinaman whether he believed in hell. " Yes," he said ; " China has been a hell since you brought us the opiiun." These are not exaggerations, they are plain facts, and I think this trade is a terrible blot on cm- English rule. I feel that Ave women have in prayer a mighty joower we can use, and I think we ought to make it our definite and constant and earnest prayer that this opium trade should be speedily stopped. Thank God, we have to praise Him that His Gospel is able to save even the poor opium-smoker, as the following extract from our Missionary Herald of October, 1891, will show. Mr. Farthing writes in reference to a photograph sent home : — " This is a group of Hsiao-tien and Tai-yiien-foo church members and 4:2 THE CENTEXARY CELEBRATION. inquirers. The occasion was Mr. Sowerby's farewell. Some of them are very worthy men, of whom I could write much, but I forbear. One, though, I must mention. In the second row, third from the left-hand side, is «, Mr. Shih. He is a warm-hearted and zealous Christian, though not yet baptized. Some time ago now he asked Mr. Sowerby (who is seated to the right of him) to help him break off his opium. Examination showed a frame so weakened by the drug as to thi-eaten death should he try to dispense mth it. Mr. Sowerby felt that it would be too risky a thing for him to undertake, and told him so. However, the truth had got hold of the man, the love of Christ was iu his heart, and so he decided, live or die, he would never again touch o]pium. It was a tough struggle, but by prayer and faith he endured and came through triumphant. He is now quite strong and healthy, whereas before he was infirm and sickly. He can preach, and does too, his message always being this, ' Clu-ist has helped me, and is willing and waiting to help* you.' " That is another plain fact. It is true of these Asiatics, Avhom I have heard are looked down upon by some, that Christ is as mlling to help them as He was to help us. I have heard it said that some think that these Asiatics are not worth troubling about ; that they are not likely to make anything like such good Christians as we Europeans. I think we should not forget that Mo.ses was an Asiatic, and Abraham and all our Old Testament worthies. This testimony shows us that God in His grace can save a poor Chinese opium-smoker. Because the power of opium is so great, we need to praise God for His mightier powei; in opening the heart of such a man. But we must not forget that the right thing for us to do is to take this obstacle out of the way of these people. We believe the Gospel is the povv-er of God to save the drimkard, and all true lovers of God are in earnest to do what they can to put the drink out of the drunkard's way, and we must do our utmost to put the opium out of the Chinaman's way. I have a little charm here, a little idol which was given to me by a woman I knew some three years after I went to China. She was, when I left China, an earnest believer, and is one at least of the Chinese whom I hope to meet in heaven. I first wont up North soon after the terrible famine of LS7G-7, and Vv'ith another friend opened uy work among the orphans and destitute children and women of Tai-yiien-foo. We were the first foreign women who had ever been in that city, and we felt it a privilege to be there. The children fell to the lot of my friend, and I helped the poor women. They were mostly women who had heen in fairly good circumstances, but who had been reduced by the famine and were then almost starving. We could not throw away our money j)ro- miscuously, so we gave them clothes which they sorely needed, and then invited them to an all-day sev/ing class, where they could help to make garments for other needy ones. We gave them two meals a day, one at THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 43 ten o'clock, and one at four or five. (A Chinaman doesnot want foiu- or five meals.) We called it our beggars' all-day meeting. Among the number was Mrs. Han, who gave me this. She had very poor sight and was not able to do ordinary sewing, so she brought along her spinning- wheel. This poor woman cheered my heart more than any of the others. I will tell you why — just because she knew how to'say, "Thank you ! " Many of the women used constantly to depress me, they never seemed to be satisfied ; do what you would for them they always seemed to think you ought to do more. Sometimes that was a great strain ; it seemed hard to help peojjle and not get a " Thank you," and very often as they were going away they wanted something more. This poor woman was so different, she seemed so grateful for being helped. She was the one amongst that number who received the Gospel. The others were scattered by degrees ; I do not know what became of them, but this was the one God gave us from amongst them. She learned the hymn, '\Jesus loves me, this I know," and short passages of Scrij)ture, and listened so attentively to our simple teaching that by the end of the winter she seemed to have got a very clear idea of the way of salvation. She is now an earnest Christian woman attending services regularly, although she is nearly blind, and I believe her influence amongst her neighboui'S is for God and His truth. This is a little charm such as most Chinese women wear to ward off evil spu-its. She felt that when she came to Jesus she did not want her charm any more. The poor women think there are evil spirits all around, and live in dread of them, and they wear these charms and do all sorts of strange things to ward off the evil influences. When they know Jesus they are no longer afraid of the evil spirits. I suppose most of you have seen a recent article in the Freeman, headed " The World for Christ in this Generation." I think the measm-e in which our hearts respond to the thought of the world being won for Chiist within the next thirty or forty years is a good deal in proportion to the keenness of our desire in looking for the return of our Lord Jesus. We remember His Avords, ' ' This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the woild for a witness imto all nations, and then shall the end come." Are we longing for the end Y Are we yearning for the time when the kingdoms of this earth shall be the Kingdom of our Lord ? It seems as though the missionary Vv'ork were vctry much linked with that, and as far as I can see it is clear from the teaching of Scripture that the Lord Jesus cannot return, the end cannot come, ludil the Gospel has been preached as a witness unto all nations. It has not been so i^reached yet. There are millions still in darkness Avho have never heard of the Saviour. Can we realise what that means ? What would it mean to us if we were deprived of all our Biblcis, and if our hojjes of Christ and salvation, and all the comfort and strength we get from the Gospel, were taken away from us ? As our fiiend said just now (and I have often felt it), how can 44 THE CENTENAEY CELEBEATION. these Chinese women bear their burden ? How hard it must be when they have no consolation when they lose their little ones, and have other breaks in their families ! Chinese Avomen have hearts — they feel — but they have no Christ to comfort them, no God to go to in their sorrows. Dear friends, I feel we need to pray and labour as we have never prayed and laboured before, and I trust very earnestly that the result of this our meeting wUl be that we shall do a great deal more than we have done, by praying and giving as well as by going ourselves if possible. It will not do for us merely to have fine talk about these things. We must be up and doing, that the world may be won for Christ. The meeting was then addressed by MISS ANGUS. I feel, she remarked, that a word of explanation, if not of apology, is necessary, because it was said a Zenana missionary would come. Nobody can regret more than I do that that Zenana missionary is not forth- coming. I am sure news from the field itself, personal knowledge and experience of the work, is what we want to strengthen our position at home and to interest Englishwomen in the work. However, as we had no Zenana missionary to come to-day, I was obliged to take her place. I should like just to say a few words very briefly this afternoon about the region and the agencies covered by our Zenana Mission. As the Baptist Missionary Society was the pioneer of missions in India, so has the Society been also the first to interest itself in the condition of women in that coimtry. It was early in the centmy that Mrs. W. H. Pearce and Mrs. Lawson, the wives of two Baptist Missionai-y Society missionaries, had a school in Calcutta for European and Eurasian gii'ls, and the girls at this school became so veiy much interested in the position of the Bengal women that in 1819 they banded themselves into a society for their benefit, and founded a day-school in Calcutta for Bengali gii'ls, and this prospered so well that friends in England Avere asked to help the work, and some seven or eight schools Avere founded in Calcutta, called after the various localities or churches AA'hich supported them — the Birmingham, GlasgoAV, Liverpool, Broadmead, Maze Pond, &c. After a while it Avas found these schools did not ansAA'er all purposes. The pupils' attendance was very iiTeguIar ; the custom of early marriage interfered very much, and the girls Avere taken from school just as they Avei-e beginning to learn ; and so boarding-schools AA'ere established, chiefly for the children of Christian parents and orphans. One was opened by Mrs. George Pearce, and after being located in one of the villages, was moved to Intally, and there it continues under the super- intendence of our friend Mrs. Keriy, Avho has done very excellent Avork there. THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 45 Following on this, Mrs. W. H. Pearce tried to get into the zenanas, but without success. In 1824 she made a fresh effort, and shortly after one Calcutta gentleman was induced to allow Mrs. Trawin, the wife of a London Missionary Society missionary, to Aasit his household, but only for a short while. Owng to the opposition and ridicule of his fellow- countrymen, the zenana was very soon closed again. Ten years later, Miss Bird, of the Church Missionary Society, also endeavoured to get into the zenanas, and with some success ; but it was not till some years later that any regular teaching was accomplished. Soon after, in 1849, Mrs. Sale, who still lives to tell the story of her work in India, went out with her husband, and was stationed in the district of Barisal, where she speedily became aware of the gi-eat need, and also of the great difficulty there was, owing to the inaccessibility of the Hindu women. She tried again and again to get amongst the village people about Barisal, and in 1854 she obtained access to a gentleman's house in Jessore, and one zenana was opened to her, and in 1858 she was welcomed in several Calcutta zenanas. So that on her return home in 1861 the work, which had been regarded as most difficult and questionable, was well established, and was taken up by Mrs. Mullins. At home Mrs. Sale devoted her time and energies in awakening interest in this new enterprise, and with some success. The Society for Promoting Female Education sent out one lady, and an American society sent out another, to work in India, and then came the beginning of our own Society. During the year 1866-7 Mrs. C. B. Lewis, the wife of our senior missionary, Avas in England. She also had a sad story to tell of her own experience in Calcutta, and what she had seen of the needs of the Hindu and Mohammedan women, and she so interested and so touched the hearts of people in England that the Baptist Missionary Society resolved to do something in this direction, and on the 22nd of May, 1867, a meeting was convened at the Baptist Mission House, and the Ladies' Association in support of Zenana work and Bible-women in India Avas formed. The report of the first year of the work of that Society tells of ground being broken up, of many and great difficulties, chiefly owing to the l)rejudicc and suspicion of the women, especially of the older ones. It tells of two stations, Calcutta and Dellii, with two lady missionaries and half a dozen Bible-women, and an income of £o()0. The twcntj'-fifth report of the Society, which is published this year, tells of doors everj'- where opened, of an earnest desii'e on the part of the women of India to hear the Gospel, of many who have been brought from darkness to light, of 22 stations, 54 missionaries, 160 Bible- women and native teachers, 64 girls' schools, and an income of some £8,000. We have, therefore, I think, every reason to thank God for the history of these twenty-five years. I do not propose to go into that history this afternoon. Much of it has been published already iu our aiumal reports, in magazines and 46 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. papers ; but I tliought perhaps it would be interesting to mention the various agencies which are employed, and some of the results that have followed from this work. "We have, of course, first of all oiu- zenana visiting — the visiting in the homes— the women's apartments of the homes in India — and from this we get great encouragement. Speaking generally — and this is well- known, I suppose, to most of this audience — the women of India are practically shut away from all male missionary effort. From Delhi the last report speaks of a Hindu widow, ' ' a faithful follower of our Lord Jesus ; she belongs to a large household, ar»d is one of those strong, yet sweet, gentle women whom childi'en love ; her influence in the family is great, but when the children gather about her, and she tells them the ' sweet story of old, ' they are called off, and a storm of abuse sweeps over the poor woman. But, as she quietly remarks, ' that leaves no stain on my flesh.' Last week her only son brought a heavy stick to beat her, asking, ' Where is now your Christ ? ' She stood up, and, facing her son, said, ' He is here with me now, and you are certainly not going to strike me.' And he did not. She fled to a neighbour's house for a few hours, her family soon went after her, and with many promises of good behaviour induced her to return ; but she is in daily peril of her life, and knows it." In many places in India the women are ready to suffer for Christ. They seek to know Him, and are ready to suffer for Him. Then we have, secondly, our schools — normal-schools, day-schools, Sunday-schools, and boarding-schools. Of the Xormal School in Cal- cutta the report says : — " The Normal School promises to be increasingly useful. Each year there are pupils who pass out for the service for which they have been trained, and new ones take their places. Five girls finished their course of study at the end of 1891. Of these five, three are now working in our Calcutta schools, and two have gone to work in the Mission at Dacca. It is a sovu'ce of great satisfaction that the pupils trained here remain steadily working with us. During the last five years, out of twenty-one teachers trained in the school only five have left the Mission, and these only left to be married. Wo have now nine of these teachers working in Calcutta, while seven others are working in other stations. At the Scripture Union Examination in 1891, six girls received certificates, and one a prize. Eleven giiis were pre- sented for the Government Examination in Standards IV., VI., and VII., but we do not yet know the results. In the matter of health, God has been very gracious to us. During the past five years we have had no deaths, and no very serious cases of illness among the pupils. Their behaviour has been good, and we feel altogether that we have much reason to thank God and take courage in this important work." We have three boardiug-schools for orphans and others — one at Intaliy, one THE MEETINOS AT NOTTINOHAM, 47 at Delhi, and one at Barisal. At Intally there ai-e 50 pupils, at Delhi 70 — ten of "whom have been baptized diudng the year — at Baiisal Go. And at all these schools there is not only a good educational work going on, but, what is more important, the gMs are being trained in Chi-istian principles, and as they go forth as teachers or wives of Christian natives, are themselves becoming centres for the spread of the Gospel. In many stations, also, Sunday-schools have been estabHshed, and women as well as girls attend these. And both in these and the day-schools the minds of the children are being stored with Scriptui-e truth, which we feel sure will be as the seed that shall bear fruit in after years. Then we have next the evangelistic and itinerant work, which is becoming increasingly important and blessed. Om- ladies, accompanied by the Bible-women or teachers, go out in pairs to the religious assemblies of the natives, and there have opportunities of preaching the Gospel. Mrs. Ellis writes: — "In February, five of the Bible-women and I went for a day to Serampore. It was a bathing festival for Hindu women, and hundi'eds had assembled to wash in the sacred stream. Thus the way was opened for us, and we were able to tell them of Him who had died for them, and whose blood could wash them whiter than snow. They listened eagerly to us, and enjoyed our hjTuns very much. When tii'ed of standing we sat under a tree, and soon a crowd gathered round. Two Brahmin widows were so interested, and begged me to visit theii' home, seven miles distant, to preach at a mela, where they said I would have large audiences, who would enjoy hearing us." In Barisal, which is the centre of a large, populous, and swampy district, intersected by rivers and streams, we have a mission-boat, which conveys our workers from place to place. In Calcutta, similar means are employed, while in other stations a tent is used for camping out, and so spending a longer time in the various villages. Then we have our medical work, Avhich has not only been most helpful in itself, but a very valuable help to our religious work. The medical work has, to our knowledge, opened houses which otherwise would have been closed against the visits of Christian ladies, and in seeking th(^, healing of the body they had found the medicine of the soul. For many years at Delhi, and formerly at Agra, there have been dispensaries, and lately too, at Palwal and Bhiwani, we have medical work going on. Several of om- ladies have medical knowledge. Last year we had the pleasure of sending out two ladies, a M.D. and a M.B. Miss Ano-us, of Bhiwani, says: — "The medical work, although it does not fio-ure in our returns, is a most important featm-e in the year's report. We have secured a suitable house for dispensary and hospital in the city. This was opened the very day after Miss Fan-er's arrival — Marian's work here having, in consequence of her maniage, come to an pnd the previous month , During three uionths ending February 1 4th Miss 48 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. Farrer has had 1,471 cases, of whom 447 are new ones. In spite of much prejudice on the part of the patients, and many disappointments to ourselves, the Medical Mission has already gained ground, and has proved a most valuable help." And at Palwal people come fifty miles for the fever mixture, from places to which we have never been and cannot go. They sit do^vn, and hear the story of God's love, often buy a Gospel, then go home to tell their friends what they have seen and heard. Thus to far-away villages every week the good tidings are carried. Those who know anything of the suffering and ill-treatment to which a Hindu woman is subjected in time of illness will rejoice that now, as in days of old, our Lord sends forth His disciples "to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick." In all these branches of work om- missionary ladies are assisted by native teachers and Bible-women, many of whom are the fruit of the labom-s of the Society, and who form a most valuable agency for the can-ying of the Gospel to their fellow-countrywomen. There are also other means used by our Avorkers, such as the holding of Sunday sei-vices in places where there is no male missionary or native preacher, the sale and distribution of Christian literature, lending libraries, and magic- lantern shows — by all these means our friends are trying to reach the hearts of the Hindu women, and to preach the Kingdom of Christ. We have, therefore, much reason to thank God for all that He has done through these various means, and in some sense to say with the Psalmist, as we think of the work of other kindred societies, " The Lord giveth the word, the women that publish the tidings are a great host." But we cannot be content as though all were already done. From each and all of our twenty-two stations there comes one and the same appeal — more help, more workers. "Gladly would we double, nay, treble, our evangelistic work in the villages," writes one, "had we only sufficient workers to undertake that as well as the equally important duties in the cities." " Every teacher has as many pupils as she can take," says another, " and on all hands the ignorant are waiting to be taught, earnest seekers after God are groping in darkness, and thousands are dying without hope." "India wants a flood of men and women," says one whose district numbers some 4,000,000 souls ; "not just the few who can be spared, but the many who cannot." In the Centenary volume, just j)ubHshed, there occur these words, " It is a happy coincidence that the Zenana Association is celebrating its silver wedding at the time when Carey's Society is holding its Centenary gatherings. Should not the occasion be seized for an advance along the whole line ? Wliat we need is for the churches at home to hear the imploring prayer for women's ministry in Eastern homes." What do we mean by om- petition for open doors if when the doors are wide open we do not enter in ? Surely it is a great door and effectual ; for who can THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 49 measure the power and influence of these mothers and sisters and daughters ? Dear friends, this is exactly what we want, an advance along the whole line, really to take advantage of all the opportunities God has put within our reach. But the Committee feel in difficulties as to how to make this advance, when every year the expenditui-e exceeds the income. "We have not, I think, reached the limit of our giving. Last week I received a letter from a friend enclosing a cheque for £b for our Zenana Mission. It came from an old lady eighty-five years of age, whose income was £18 a year. She had been saving up for a long time, intending, I believe, to bequeath it on her death ; but she thought that she would send it for this Centenary year, and she sent £15 to Mr. Baynes and £5 to us. I think that if we can get £5 from one whose income is only £18 a year, we might be able to increase our income during the coming year. What we need is really for our chm-ches at home, and especially for the women of our churches, to realise the great need, and to hear the cry that comes from these Eastern homes. We have been praying for open doors, and our prayers have been answered ; and surely it would only be mocking God if, now that the doors are open, we do not mean to enter in. The doors of the Indian zenanas are ojaen, but the doors will admit others besides ourselves, and, unless we step in first, there are others who will not wait long ere they enter in. There is the godless and secular education, which is all the Government has to offer, waiting on the threshold of these Indian zenanas, and following in its train there is the unbelief, the atheism which has already laid its hand on the young men of India, and will surely reach the women, too, unless the Christian Church bestirs itself. Most emphatically may we say that now is the accepted time for our work in India, and now is the day of salvation for the millions there. When we think of their great need, of their readiness to receive the Word, of all that has already been done, sm-ely we hear the Master's voice saying to us. His disciples, " Look upon the fields, for they are white already unto the harvest. The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest that He will send forth labourers into His harvest." 50 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. THE EVENING MEETINGS. In the evening two public missionary meetings were held, one at half -past six o'clock in Castlegate Chapel, and the other in "Wesley- Chapel at eight o'clock, both these capacious buildings being generously placed at the disposal of the Committee. THE CASTLEGATE MEETING was convened under the presidency of MR. EDWARD RAWLINGS (of London), who delivered the following address : — The occasion which calls us together this evening is one which I may well call awe-itispiring. If we could realise in any degree what the feelings of those good men who founded our Missionary Society one hundred years ago would have been in the prospect of this eveniug — if we could only realise that — how deeply grateful we should be for the blessing which from our Father in heaven has accompanied the work of the Society during these hundred years. AVe are privileged to meet this evening ; it is a privilege to speak to you ; it is a privilege to all of us to take part. Most earnestly do we pray that God's blessing will rest on these gatherings to His own praise and glory. We have heard the expression, " the enthusiasm of personal contact"; and I beheve in it. We may read and read and read, but there is nothing like talking to one another ; there is nothing like heaiing the living voice of those who have something to say. However little I may have to say, there are others who will follow who will speak -svith all the power God has given to man. I met with a very interesting and beautiful expression the other day, about which I should Hke to say a word and read a Avord — "Golden hours." Oh, may we have a golden hour this evening, and may these meetings be full of these golden hours ! I take the expression from a dear sainted friend. Dr. Stanford, who says, " Golden hours in the history of human friendship, when hearts expand and affections flame up with the glory and glow of oiu- life. Golden hours in the history of friendship between Christ and His disciples, when the energies of the will are bent to associate themselves with His wiU. That ' THE JtoETlNGS AT NOTTllfGHAM. 51 oneness with the Eternal, whicli can only in any degree be real in him in whom the promise has been fulfilled, ' I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.' " May we realise this this evening and throughout these meetings, and then we shall have a blessing. In looking at the work of the last hundi'ed years, and our present position with respect to them, we want in all humility to put our Saviour Chi-ist first, fii'st in everything, and if so, how much should we try to realise this at the present moment, when we arc met in His name and for His glory ; and how can this be better expressed than in the words of the prophet, quoted by the Apostle when he said, " I have set thee to be a light to the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the ends of the earth " ? Can we wonder that when the Gentiles heard this they were glad, and glorified the Word of the Lord ? The GentUes have glorified it, they have received the Gospel. Oh, may we glorify it, and receive this Gospel into our hearts and lives ! Then, on such an occasion as this, after thinking of our Saviour, we are iiTesistibly led to think of the founders of oiu- IVIission, and, above all, of Carey himself, that great and good man. And in his memoirs, so interesting, there is one part which always attracts me particularly— the agreement di-awn up by Carey, Marshman, and "Ward as the basis of their work, a most precious document, and one from which we may learn many a lesson of interest and value. In that agreement it is said that they would devote themselves to prayer and the cultivation of personal religion, the study and example of those who had been most eminent. This they professed and this they practised. And in looking at Carey and his example, the first thing that strikes us is his absolute consecration. In that agreement we fijid the words, "Let us give up ourselves un- resei-\'edly and not lay uj) a coin " ; and this they practised. Then the next thing that strikes us is the devotion of Dr. Carey. Mr. Duff, after- wards Dr. Duff, once visited him, and at the close of their talk Dr. Carey said, "Mr. Duff, you have been speaking about Dr. Carey, Dr. Carey. When I am gone, say nothing about Dr. Carey, speak about Dr. Carey's Saviour." That was his principle, and then later in his life, when the end was drawing near, he Avas able to say, ' ' I have no fear, I have no doubt, I have not a -wash imfulfilled." Then look at his humility, and that is best shown by what is inscribed on his monument at his own request — " A guilty, weak, and helpless worm, On Thy kind arms I fall, Be Thou my strength and righteousness, My Jesus, and my all.'' Christ said, " Whoso humbleth himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven." It is very true that all spii-itual growth is in the way of simplicity, and anything more beautifully 4* 52 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. simple than this, showing so much Christian gro^vth of character, cannot possibly be named. And then Carey's sublime faith — "Expect great things, attempt great things." That seems to be the climax of all that Carey said and did. Not only did he confess it at the commencement of his career, and preach it in this town, but he carried it out to the end of his life. It is only to-day I heard that he once said, " If I had known all there was before me when I came to India, I doubt if I should have commenced the work ; but it has all come easily, step by step, and by God's grace I have been able to accomplish it." His example is an example to us not only to expect, but to attempt great things. And ever since Carey's time there has been a succession of good men, too numerous to mention, both in England at one end of the rope, and in the different mission-fields at the other end of the rope, to carry on the work. I doubt if I should like to mention them, because they one and all, both friends at home and missionaries abroad, would have said, like Carey, " Do not talk about me, talk about my Saviour." And now, what is our present position ? We have to thank God for Carey, Marshman, and Ward, and for a long line of good men who have followed in their steps, but we have to thank God also for the open doors there are everywhere inciting us to courage and to perseverance. There is the same music of the message to carry to them in all parts, and all we want are men and women — sanctified men and women — to carry it. God in His goodness gives us the means. We want more, but we shall surely have more means if we need them. What we want to impress on our hearts more and more is that men and women should con- secrate themselves to this great work, and that those who give themselves up to it should carry out Carey's great principle — " Expect great things, attempt great things." Is not the spirit in which we should look at this that of self-consecration ? For what shotdd a man or a woman give to the service of the Master but the whole of a consecrated life ? Oh, that thousands — for thousands are really needed as years roll on, if the work is to be accomplished — would wholly consecrate themselves to this work! Mr. Alford has well said, "We are wanted to carry forth the news and to follow up Christ's victory, to redeem the world. If this is so, what should be the result of the dignity ? It requii-es that our ambitions correspond to our call. We have an unlimited horizon." As I look over and over again at that great agreement and the principles which it lays down — namely, prayer and the cultivation of personal religion and the study of the examples of those who have been most eminent— if we only look at this again and again, and imprint it upon om* own hearts and of those Avith whom we come in contact, these principles will lead to the best, the highest gift of self- consecration to this Divine service. Should not the story of the Gospel impress us with the love of God our Saviour, and fill us with thankfulness that He THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM, 53 permits us to work for Him, and vnth hopefulness for tlac result of this good work ? If we look back, we have indeed reason to be thankful for all that God has wrought ; if we look at the present, we see open doors and all the opportunities they present ; if we look at the future, we may- do so -with humble confidence and pray erf id trust, for it is God's work , and He will crown it with His oavti blessing. The Chairman then called upon THE REV. GEORGE HAWKER, of Camden Road Chapel, London, to address the meeting. Mr. Hawker said : — Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, — It is with trepidation and something even of awe that one rises to sjoeak upon this occasion. There seems to come from afar a faint echo of the words, " Take thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground." It was the manifestation of God that made the neighbourhood of the burning bush holy, and I think we shall all aUow that a hundi-ed years ago God was manifested in Nottingham. The true Shekinah is man. There is nothing else in all the universe so like the word of God as the word of man. And when the man is God-possessed — consecrated and inspired — his word ceases to be his own, and becomes in very truth the word of God. Those who heard Carey preach in this town a hvindred years ago to-day heard the voice divine, and I imagine that all theolo- gians here this evening will be willing to acknowledge the plenary and verbal inspiration of the often quoted passage: — "Expect great things from God, and attempt great things for God." We are told that when Bunsen lay dying, as his wife bent over him, he said : "In thy face have I seen the Eternal." Sir, I think that those who looked into Carey's face when he inquii-cd, after preaching, if nothing was to be done, saw the Eternal, and knew that the tears which shone in his mild eyes were the tears of Christ. No wonder that that sermon marked a point of depai-ture for the Kingdom of God : no wonder that we feel this to bo holy ground. The great enterprise which was conceived at Nottingham, and born at Kettering, admits of being regarded in many aspects. One of these may be called the commercial aspect. Modem missions may be examined in the light of profit and loss. I was told about the time of the Spring meetings, recently held in London, that some careful soul had prepared a pamphlet in which he proved to his own satisfaction that Christian missions were so preposterously expensive, that the cost per soul of con- verting the heathen was so exorbitant, that reason dictated the immediate abandonment of the work. My informant understood that this tract was 54 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. to be distributed at the doors of Exeter Hall and at other points of vantage. I have not seen it. I do not know whether it was more than projected. But to this extent I agree with the writer in question ; I allow, without hesitation, that modern missions are very costly. The bill of the Baptist Missionary Society for the century exceeds two and a half millions. I know that there are men alive who could give that sum to the Kingdom of God with a stroke of the pen and be rich men still, and find their craft ride the more lightly upon life's ocean for the heaving over- board of so many ingots. None the less, when we analyse the account, when we examine the constitution of the funds with which it has been paid, we are constrained to own that it is a big bill. Missions are costly. They always have been. They always will be. They belong to a costly order of things. They exist to realise the redeeming purposes of God. Of all enterprises of which we have knowledge, redemption is the costliest. In this transaction the gold of Ophir was less than the small dust of the balance ; the wealth of the material universe was an incon- siderable trifle ; the estate of God availed nothing : He gave His heart. " We are redeemed, not with corruj)tible things, such as silver and gold, but with the precious blood of Christ." The earliest missions were costly. I do not suppose that Paul ever spent much money. But he sj)ent himself. How much was he worth P Who Avill measure him in milHons ? How much does Europe owe to the missionary of the Gentiles ? London, the great wealth centre of the world, admits its debt in striking symbol. When the dawn steals across the German Ocean and the Essex flats, and shoots its arrows over London, the mark first hit and glorified is a cross, and the cross sur- mounts St. Paul's. When we look into and behind those two and a half millions, we admit that they make a great sum. Perhaps it is not as widely known as it should be that the founder of our Mission was its princeliest donor. It is worthy of record and repetition that the Northamptonshire shoemaker, teacher, and preacher gave of his own money to this Mission more than £50,000, which he earned nobly by the sweat of his brain and of his brow. And of him, too, it may be said, he gave himself. The travail of his con- secrated soul was revealed in his words, and tears, and manifold labours, and indestructible patience. There are two very wonderful things in Carey's life. One is that God kept him waiting seven years for a convert ; the other is, that he waited. In the light of these two facts, how frivolous and unbelieving seems much of the criticism current in this hasty, heady age. Carey and his glorious colleagues were pioneers ; battalions have followed them, marching bravely over intellectual highways which they with Herculean toil laid down. The finance columns in our Centenary volume (for which our thanks will be ever due to the authors) are eloquent of love and sacrifice. Yet more eloquent are the columns of THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 55 missionarios' names. The exigencies of space permit no more than the names and two dates ; usually the date of acceptance, and the date of death, with a thin perpendicular line between. That thin line covers a prodigal expenditure of love and labour that is figured up in Heaven. God's books have big pages. Date of death I Yes, oar missionaries have died ; some young, some old, some worn out, some in their golden prime ; and dying was by no means their hardest or most exacting work. The records of our oa\ti and kindred societies will prove that missionaries know how to die. It is a thing men learn at the Cross. In the year 343 A.D., when the Persian Church was a missionary Church, a bishop and two presbj'ters were condemned to death. In hope of shaking their constancy, the heathen ruler ordained that they should witness the execution of a hundred other ministers alike condemned. They watched the slaughter, cheered the sufferers, and laid down their ovm lives. One of the presbj'ters trembled as his moment came — not in heart, but in flesh. An officer of rank, who stood by and saw the trembling, cried : ' ' Never mind ; shut your eyes but a moment and partake of the light of Christ." He did ; and the tongue that gave the counsel was torn out by the roots, and in dumb and bleeding triumph another martyi' took his crown. Missionaries know how to die. We have wept and lamented over our brothers and sisters who died young on the Congo. "We could do no other. It is well to remember that they made no wail. The death of the most distinguished of them was tj^pical. You know what Thomas Comber murmui-ed as his spirit passed at sea : " 0 Christ, Thou art the fountain — The deep sweet well of love. The streams on earth I've tasted, More deep I'll driuk above." Sir, missions are costly. They cost millions. They cost men. And as the odour from the broken alabaster box of youthful life steals roiuid the world, we admit, and are imdismayed by the admission : this ointment might have been sold for a great price, and given to the ends of nine- teenth centuiy self-conservation. "Will you bear with me while I go on to show why, admitting the gi-eat cost of missions, we must nowise slacken our endeavour ? As Christians we have no option. Compulsion is ujDon us. We are urged on by the Christian instinct of communication. We have read and believed Avdth rapture that "He is the propitiation for oui- sins." When we have wiped tbe tears of joy out of oiu- eyes Ave have gone on and finished the text — "not ours only, but for the whole world." We understand per- fectly. Our hearts say the same thing. We know that this great Avi'iting is of no private intei-pretation ; that this great music was not composed for a small and select audience. And so, all down through Church history, from the first chapter of the Gospel of John to the last 56 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. chapter of the Acts of the Apostles on the Congo, we leam that those who have found the Saviour cannot be content to lie inertly at His feet, but must needs rise and lay hold upon their neighboiu's, crying each in his own dialect and phrase, " I have found the Christ, come and see." This liberal instinct is educed and sharpened by the vision of men's need. Obviously it is not our sins only which exist and work mischief. Where there is a man there is a sinner, a life marred, a soul jeopardised. So much is visible, and the sorrows that we see we must endeavour to assuage. Some are seers. They can see what is out of sight. Carey was one of these. He, in his lowly Midland home, looked beyond the far horizon, over the curve of the great round earth, and saw the dusky myriads of India moving in sad procession from the cradle to the gi'ave. He felt theii' sorrows. Their sins were his burden. Their salvation was his passionate desire. And all the while that as a Christian and a seer he yearned over India, the command of Christ clashed through his heart like the stroke of a signal beU — Go ! Go ! Go ! into aU the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. To-day we are all seers. Modem science and exploration have brought the ends of the earth to oru' doors. The tragic needs of the heathen are vocal in every ncAvspaper, and you can see portraits of the Pigmies in Pall Mall. We are all seers to-day ; and if Ave see with Christian eyes, we shall feel something of Carey's pity, and in oiu' measure emulate his great obedience. A Christian church must be a missionary church ; it has no option. Never mind the cost. I have hurried over this part of my talk that I might have a little time left in which to hold that Christian missions, confessedly costly, are a grand investment. Missions pay. The recompense is subHme. Carey waited seven years for a convert. Many a sculptor has wrought as long, modelling and chiselling, that his dream might be realised in stone. Men say he has done well ; that the marble, Goths permitting, will last for a millennium. The redeemed soul is God's masterpiece, and will shine for ever. Carey waited seven years ; in the last seven years scores of thousands have been converted in India. I know I am striking a note that has been struck already, and will be struck many times in these meetings. Why should we be afraid of repetition ? God repeats Him- self in blessing. The angels repeat themselves in praise. Missions pay : in direct spiritual results. They pay when we consider their collateral results. Eminent critics have averred that the social and educational and humanely ameliorative achievements, rightly ascribed to Christian missions, alone justify the whole expenditure. Missions have raised the tone of modern life. They have given us heroes and heroic story. I live in London ; I think London is a grand place to live in : I am sure it is a grand place to get out of. A week or two ago I was travelling with one of my children between Luton and THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 57 Bedford by a slow train. It was a glorious morning, and as \vc had to wait at a wayside station a quarter of an horn-, we mounted the station bridge to view the country-side. At the bottom of a sloping meadow was a spinney, out of which sprang a few tall trees. Their foliage was scant and golden ; they looked as though there had been a storm of sun- shine, and the yellow flakes were clinging to their branches, as the white flakes cling in winter. In the tops of these trees was a rookery, and the sunny air was full of caws. As we watched the black things flying, and listened to their wholesome noise, suddenly from the very heart of the din there came a dozen notes of melting, haunting music, that thrilled us wdth delight. In a bush below the rookery a nightingale was indulging in matin practice for the evensong. There was no discord — God took care of that — there was harmony. All the sounds and all the scene were lifted. Now, it seems to me that our clatteiing commercial life — aye, and our conventional church life in this nineteenth century — are something like the cawing of the rooks. But out of the very heart of our homely noise comes this missionary story, with all its mighty music, and our hfe is lifted. What have our dear dead ones done in the East and on the Congo ? They have made music ; they have \%aitten with their dying love a bar or two of the new song which will be sung in heaven. The next speaker was THE KEY. DR. MACKENNAL, of Manchester, who made the following remarks : — Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, — It is with very deep pleasure, and A\dth more than pleasure, it is with a true gratitude to those who have invited me to come and take part in this celebration, that I enter this pulpit this evening. I am glad to come in contact with grateful souls, with those who are joyous, as you are joyous, and who have so much reason for their gladness. We need not be afraid on an occasion like this, and with such a subject as this, to be as glad as we know how. There is not the slightest fear that we should offend against Christian modesty ; there is not the slightest fear that in our gladness wc shall be at all unduly exalted. When we consider what it has taken to compel the Christian Church, and ourselves as part of the Christian Clmrch, and children of the Church — what it has taken, what it is continually taking, to compel us to recognise the claims of Christ upon us for the evan- gelisation of the world, and to enter upon this service witli anything like heart ; Avhen we consider how, in the story of Christian missions, God has so manifestly "WTOught without us, and if He has Avrought by us He had to train us first for working by us ; when we remember, too, the 58 THE CENTENAEY CELEBRATION. tears, the sacrifice, the blood, the heroic story of those who have fallen, and in the presence of whose devotion anything like self- glory on our part would be altogether out of place ; when we remember and surrender ourselves to the sanctity of the Christian motive which animates us in the service of Foreign Missions— I say there is not the slightest fear that, giving full vent to the gladness and triumph of our heart, we shall be celebrating ourselves, or simply uttering our self-complacency. In the presence of such a history as that which we are contemplating this evening, all self- vaunting is absurd. I congratulate you, and come here to join in your gladness, because it is undoubtedly true that, of the evangelical missions which characterise this present century, the Baptist Missionary Society is the forerimner. We shall have plenty, I think, of Centenary celebrations within the next few years. Yours is the first. I saw a curious statement in one of the papers the other day (I forget which), to the efPect that you were using, in connection with this celebration, a capital which was not your own, and that the Baptists had no right at all to call this their centennial celebration, and the reason was that Carey found it hard to get the Baptist churches at first to listen to him. Now that seems to me a most wonderful thing, that the Baptists have no right whatever to celebrate as the Centenary of their missionary operations the sermon and the action of Carey. What Avas Carey if he was not a Baptist ? What was Andrew Fuller if he was not a Baptist ? What was Dr. Eyland if he was not a Baptist ? And sm-ely you are right in saying, looking back at your history, and seeing some men who knew how to interpret the will of Christ and some who did not, " We claim and hold on by the men who did know, and not by the men who did not." It is a very foolish criticism. It is just as if I were compelled to remember all my ancestors whom I should be glad to forget, and to forget all my ancestors whom it would give me any satisfaction to remember. I have taken from that memorial volume which was referred to (and not, I think, in terms of too high admiration, by the speaker who has preceded, me) the figures that record the gifts to the Baptist Missionary Society for periods of ten years. I Avill not read them all to you, but I will read two or three. In 1792 there was contribtited £13 2s. 6d. ; but it must be -emembered that it was not the Baptist churches that contributed that, but one assembly. If the Baptist churches had stopped at £13 2s. 6d. I can understand anybody saying that the Baptist churches had no right to claim Carey, and no right to assert any part in him. In 1802 the £13 2s. 6d. had gone up to £2,394 14s. od. ; in 1812 to £4,856 14s. 9d. ; and in 1822 to £12,291 lis. 4d. Considering that the Baptists, like the Congregationalists, rather belong to the poor of the earth than to the wealthy of the earth, I think those figures show that they had learned their lesson tolerably well ; and if they have said, "We are children of THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 59 Carey," they are not uttering a vain-glorious assertion for which there is no cause. I have been interested also in two or three other things in connection -with, that story. I have been reviving ray recollection, as many of you have been, and my acquaintance with the story of the Serampore Mission ; and another of the things which have struck me with great Avonder and admiration, and which have awakened my gratitude, is the recognition of Avhat noble men — -I mean men intellectually noble as well as spiiitually noble and morally noble — were these three men, Carey, Marshman, and Ward ; nay, these five men, Carey, Marshman, Ward, Dr. Ryland, and Andi-ew Fuller. "We have heard them spoken of as " consecrated cobblers." Now the man who first of all used that phrase was a very woiihy man. If Sydney Smith had not been a good man, an honourable man, a true- hearted man, we might have forgotten him before this time. But one wonders that a man of his open mind and generous heart should not have acquainted himself with the fact that Carey was a scholar ; had made him- self such a scholar as Oxford and Cambridge had made very few of, with all theii- professors ; that this consecrated cobbler was considered fit to be put in trust, first as lecturer, and then as professor in, I think, the earliest institution in India for the higher education of the people. And when we read the story and see what these men have done, it is a good thing for us in these modem days to recall the fact that God makes use of the intellectually strong as well as the intellectually feeble, and calls men and trains them for His sei-\'ice that they may be ready for His sei-vico when He invites them to enter it. I have also been struck with this fact in a sentence that I will refer to as a sample of many sentences that are upon the pages of that story of the Mission of Serampore— that is, the m-gency with which the claims of the work upon native preachers and native teachers was again and again advanced by these early missionaries ; rather let me say, the wisdom with which they foresaw that which seems to have dawned upon some of our friends as a modem discovery, the fruit of a hundrcid years' experience in mission work, that the native teachers are to be used to evangelise the natives if the natives are to be won. The sentence is, "It is only by means of native teachers that we can hope for the universal spread of the Gospel throughout this immense continent." Well, Mr. Chau'man, if I were to be converted, I think I shoidd like an Englishman to convert me ; and this is a rule the principle of which appeals to our common sense. I wondered, while I was reading this sentence, Avhat would have happened if our missionary societies had uniformly set themselves more eamestly, in the presence of whatever difficulties might have been in their way, to adapt and cany out this principle which was laid down in the first years of your Mission — if we 60 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. had depended moi-e upon tlie native men to do the evangelistic work, and had reserved the European fibre, the men of European moral courage, heritage, sldll, and education to do the work of directing the native preachers. I am not uttering these things as criticism. I have no doubt whatever that there have been grave difficulties in the way ; but let me say this, that I, do very earnestly desii'e to see the difficulties in the way of large employment of native evangeUsts in all our missions and over all the world removed from out of the way, whether these be difficulties that exist on the mission-field, or whether they be difficulties that exist in the committee rooms at home. One thing that has struck me in reading over this story is of a very much deeper character. I have been very much struck indeed with the intensity and earnestness of these men, with the wonderful spiritual feeling that was in them, and more especially -with the intense sense which they had of the personal misery of sin, the personal glory of redemption, and the personal debt of obligation under which the redeemed sinner comes to Jesus Christ. It was rather more than a hundred years before the foundation of the Baptist Missionary Society that Eichard Baxter — one of the most interesting and one of the most perplexing of Puritan divines — towards the close of his life, wi-ote in this way : " There is nothing in the world," says he, " that lieth so heavy on my heart as the thought of the miserable nations of the earth. It is the most astonishing part of all God's providence to me that He so far forsaketh almost all the world and confineth His special favour to so few." It was a wonder which took a hundred years and more to dissipate. I have no doubt that Baxter uttered the experience and feeling of a great many more until the time when it dawned upon the heart of Carey that it was time for the Christian Church of England to be sending out messages of " the Gospel of the glory of the blessed God." If we did not know how long a time it takes to drive ideas into the mind of man, especially when the new idea seems to conflict with an old theological dogma — then we should wonder very much indeed that so long a time had elapsed. You see this talk which Baxter has about special favour, and his wonder at the purpose of God in keeping the heathen iii darkness. We have, at the end of two hundred years, got a long v^^ay in advance of that. I think we all of us now recognise not that there is no election of God, but that the election of some is for the benediction of all, and that the experience which some have of what Baxter calls "special favour" is that they may be the special ministers of Christ unto all men, Imowing how to win some from among all nations. Now, how is it that we have learned that lesson ? Why, Ave have learned it because Carey and those who were associated with him practised it before they understood — they " builded better than they knew." These men had not apprehended the doctrine of election as it is apprehended to-day. But Carey did apprehSnd the needs of the THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 61 nations ; he did apprehend the infinite grace of Christ Jesus ; he did apprehend and keenly feel what Christ had done for him ; and, with the wonder, and with the confusion, and with the blundering I doubt not that we are all conscious of when we are taking practical steps in advance of our systems of religious doctrines, he went out and preached, he did the work. He solved Baxter's problems for him. It was not that God was keeping the nations in darkness, it was that they who had the light were keeping it to themselves. And Carey, and Marshman, and the rest of them were like the Apostle Peter, who preached the Gospel to the heathen long before the Apostle Paul laid down the philosopy of missions to the Gentiles. But one thing that I have been greatly struck with is the intensity of religious feeling and the special type of religious feeHng to which Ave attach the name evangelical, and which, I trust, we shall always continue to honour. Mr. Chairman, have you sung duiing these services that wonderful hymn of Krishna Pal ? If you have not, I Avill read it : — " 0 thou, my soul, forget no more The Friend who all thy misery bore ; Let every idol be forgot, But, O my soul, forget Him not. " Jesus for thee a body takes, Thy guilt assumes, thy fetters breaks, Discharging all thy dreadful debt ; And canst thou e'er such love forget ? " Now, here comes a verse which has the old somewhat mechanical pressure of the Puritan preaching which so many of us remember, mechanical as was the preaching of John the Baptist when he told the people the great sins they had to flee from, and, like John the Baptist's preaching, heralding the Gospel of the Lamb of God. " Renounce thy works and ways with grief, And fly to this most sure relief ; Nor Him forget who left His throne. And for thy life gave up Hia owp. " Infinite truth and mercy shine In Him, and He Himself is thine : And canst thou, then, with sin beset. Such charms, such matchless charms forget ? " Ah I no : till life itself depart. His name shall cheer and warm my heart ; And, lisping this, from earth I'll rise. And join the chorus of the skies. " Ah! no: when all things else expire, And perish in the general fire, This name all others shall survive. And through eternity shall live.' 62 THE CENTENAET dELEBRATIOlT. We understand qiiite well the type of Christian teaching out of whicli that came, and it seems to me to be one of those wonderful relics of antiquity that are full of meaning to us, and are full of interest and beauty. This hymn is steeped in the very spirit of the faith which animated Carey. It was because of his sense of that misery which Krishna learned under his teacher ; because of his deep personal appre- hension of the greatness of his deliverance from it ; because of his keen and constant sense of the personal love of Christ to him, that Carey was able to accomplish that wliich he did, and he has left the stamp of his personal piety upon the Mission which he established. We have come to larger apprehension of the person of Christ ; we have come to think of Christ, surely not with less veneration, not with less of wonder and of personal devotion than' characterised these men of whom we are speaking to-day. We are in the habit of thinking that the wisdom of modern theology is that it centres round the person of Christ. We have heard again and again of the Christologising of theology as being characteristic of our own time. Well, if we have been brought nearer to Christ we ought to show it. If, as we think, Christ is more the centre of our teaching than He was in the old time, there ought to be no abatement of personal gratitude and personal loyalty to Him. We see here on what it is that the heart is nourished for great and noble enterprises ; we see that out of Christ Jesus the man, as He tells us, there come the streams, there comes unto us the well of water that springs up and bubbles over and flows out from us, the wells of water that are to refresh the whole earth. I see you are asking for one hundi-ed mis- sionaries, and I hope that even more than the £100,000 you are asking for as an annual income to your Society will be given to you. Now I am going to make one other suggestion. We are asking for one hundred missionaries in connection with the London Missionary Society. I do not know if you have among your numbers what has been styled amongst us the cry of the umemployed. Persons who are curious in statistics turn to the " Congregational Year-book," and they read how many ministers are doing nothing, but want to be doing something ; and then we are told that it is so hard for the unemployed to get a hearing, and that our colleges are training more men than are required for the service of the ohm-ches, and our college committees are actually recom- mended to make the door of entrance into ministerial training narrower than at present. Do not these two things stand one over against the other, and suggest what the proper course would be ? Unemployed ministers at home, students leaving college without the prospect of settle- ment— and you ask for one hundi-ed missionaries, and we ask for one hundred missionaries ! Why, where is the logical faculty in the unem- ployed ? Where is the logical faculty of those who have the ear of our churches — unemployed men and great fields that are crying out for THE ItfEETlNGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 63 labourers ? One thing I am earnestly desirous of is that this appeal for more missionaries shall reach the hearts of our students and of those who train our students, and that our colleges should be and your colleges should be what they were originaUy intended to be, evangeUstic schools for men who shall preach the Gospel to those who have it not. WTiy, you know, you and we and the Methodists and Presbyteiians are constantly reminded that we are treading on one another's heels. There are proposals that we should come into conference in order to avoid the continuance of the scandal of competition with one another in districts which are ovcr-churched and over-chapeled. Again, I ask, have not these facts relation one to another ? Cannot we spare ministers' from the colleges at home for the work abroad ? Cannot you spare ministers ? I think we shall require to bring these two things into practical con- nection one Avith the other, and that we ought not only to come together to inquii-e whether we had better withdraw our forces, lest we should proauce an impression of ungodly competition for people at home ; but also, what we shall do ^vith men when we have withdi-awn them', and what are the particular fields into which we shaU send them for seiVice. Dear friends, we may thank God that He has kindled the hearts of all His people, stirred up the missionary enthusiasm, and made us all think of the demands which are being made upon us in these foreign fields. There is another thing that requires sanctifying besides our hearts : we have to sanctify our common sense, and to biing to bear in practical appHcation the appeals of the foreign missionary field ; I say to bring to bear the appeals of the foreign missionary field as helping us to understand more and more what we are doing when we are train^g more men than are wanted for the service at home. I earnestly trust that throughout the whole of this year's gatheiings the Spirit of the Lord will rest upon you, and that heart and imderstanding and will may all be touched, so that your work shall be practically nobler as well as your spirits more fired with enthusiasm as the result of your Centenary celebration. The next speaker was THE REV. T. VINCENT TYMMS. I have a strong impression, he said, that we have a hidden audience to-night, vaster than this and more august. If Christ be in our midst, as we believe, then those who are mth Him where He is cannot be far from us. It is their privilege to follow Him whithersoever He goeth, and we may venture to think of them as with Him in our midst. We read of the departed in Christ that their works do follow them. Does not this involve the thought that they follow their works, that they look 64 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. upon them with untiring eyes, and that they find a part of their reward in seeing not less, but far more than we see of the progress of God's Kingdom in the lands in which they sei-ved ? It seems to me, Sir, that heaven would be rather less than heaven for William Carey if it shut out the sight of India, or even of these English Midlands. It seems that he and others who have followed in his steps are now reaping a far-off harvest of their toils and tears in watching the issues of their work as it develops in the progress of the Gospel. I am glad to think of their presence, and especially for this reason — I want to think of myself as speaking, not only in youi- presence and in our Master's, but particularly in the presence of William Carey. It will put an end to all temptation to use fulsome language of eulogy, to exalt the man, to put him into his Avrong place. And traly I cannot speak of William Carey as a prodigy. I do not regard him exactly in that Hght. It is said he was not even a first-class shoemaker. Eeference is frequently made to the incident that when he heard some snob in India whisper in a great assembly, " Is that the shoemaker ? " Carey inteii-upted and said, "No, not the shoe- maker, only the cobbler, sir, only the cobbler." We are told that he was not even Al as a cobbler. And wdth such thoughts as he had to pre-occupy his mind I am not surprised. Some of his plans as a mis- sionary were not altogether likely to work well. If he had caiiied out and persevered in his idea of a Moravian colony, in which all his recruits were to live in huts under an Indian sun, there would have been a great mortality before the end of the year. Then, as a preacher, he does -not seem, according to any conventional standard, to have been a great preacher. There is a criticism I hope I shall remember whenever I look at the papers of young men seeking to go out as missionaries or to come into Rawdon College as missionary students. When Carey preached his trial sermon his pastor said, " It is as cmde and as weak as anything which could be, which is, or which can be called a sermon." And yet this man, on the 31st May, 1792, preached a sermon which for magni- ficence of results is uni-ivalled, except perhaps by the first sermon on the Day of Pentecost. My only reason for speaking of the imperfections and limitations of William Carey as a man is in order that we may have before us this question, ' ' How came it that he was able to do this great thing?" The first cause we are all quite sure of, and are perfectly agreed about. We trace it up to God's choice and calling and use of the man for a gi-eat purpose. If I do not say much about that in this audience, it is not because I put little importance upon it, but because I think we take it for granted. As Baptists, we are all agreed that God chooses the weak and the foolish ones for His purposes. We hold it strongly as a theory. Shall I be impolite if I say that the tnith has sometimes come under our observation ? And lest that should seem an uncalled- THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 65 for remark I Avill go further unci say that we know it— some of \is not only from obsei-vation, but from experience. Some of you may be inclined to say, "Speak for yourself." Well, I wiU. I speak for myself and a few I know ; and confess that we feel ourselves to be living illustra- tions of the truth. There I leave it. But, Sir, it appears to me that though God often chooses the weak and foolish ones, He never makes a foolish choice. WTien He chooses a man who is pai-ticularly feeble in some way, depend upon it it is because there is something particularly strong in him somewhere. When He chooses a man whom the world calls a fool, it is because He sees wisdom that the Avorld cannot detect. "When He does choose. He chooses fit men; and not only does He choose fit ones, but He trains them before they know it and afterwards, and He uses for this jjurpose secondary means — the influence of other minds, the influence of events, the pressure of necessity — forcing men into their opportunities, these being the moulds which are to fashion them. It v.'as so with Moses, it was so with Paul, it was so with Carey. I think we can trace some of the secondary causes of Carey's fitness and success. My talk to-night will bo about these secondary causes and it will have two parts, one about Carey X)ersonally, and one about his work. To trace the cause of his success fully we should have to discuss at length the age in which he lived — a revolutionary age, an age of new lights and new thoughts. If I were required to make all the speeches that will be made in the next few days I might have a chance of covering that ground ; but hapj)ily for me, and more happily for you, such a burden is not laid upon me. I shall content myself with going back just one life. I hope I shall not be robbing the brethren who are to speak at Ketterino- during this week if I ventui-e in Nottingham to speak of Fuller. It is not my fault that Fuller came before Carey, and that FuUer had an influence on Carey which I cannot overlook. If we examine a chrono- logical table we shall find that the Baptist Missionary Society was founded in 1792. But a society is a fruit, not primarily a seed, and so we shall have to look a Httle way back, and I know no place where we can look for the source of the Missionary Society so successfully as in Andi'ew Fuller's Diary. What do we find in that diary to our purpose ? Sir, I find that somewhere in the eighth decade of the last century Fuller passed through a terrible mental strife, in which heart and conscience and intellect were all rising up in rebellion against the creed which Avas paralysing the Baptist churches of that day. Fuller sometimes thought himself almost a castaway for daiing to doubt it. But he went on, and because God was teaching him, he had to go on at great cost of strife and pain, until in 1781 — and not with a view of publication for the world, or for the Church, but for the clearing and making definite of his own mind — he wrote an essay, called "The Gospel 5 66 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION, "Worthy of All Acceptation." In that fruit of his travail he held and taught that the Word of God is a message to all creatures, that it is true to all, that the invitation to believe and to be saved is not a fiendish mockery of man's ineligibility for salvation. He held that men are entitled to believe, entitled to look to the grace of God and be saved. Then there came new strife, fightings within to begin with, and then fightings "without. In 1784 he was persuaded to publish his pamphlet, and no sooner was it published than the hue and cry was raised against the author as a heretic, all manner of crael things were said about him, and he had to bear it as he could. I should not like to suggest or insinuate that Andi-ew Fuller was a down-grader. The case was worse than that : there was no gradient in the question at all, no slope ; in the eyes of his contemi^oraries he came down headlong in one perpen- dicular fall from the precipitous and barren crags of hyper-Calvinism to that lower plain which is regarded as so safe and moderate to-day. Happily there vi^ere no bones broken in the fall, but there were some little people up above who still stood upon the crags, and who di'opped down ujpon poor Andrew such hard, stone-like words that they nearly broke his heart. Happily Andrew Fuller found sympathisers, and found them in these Midlands. There was one sjTnpathetic reader of his book, named William Carey. If there had been no Fuller there might have been no Carey. There was a wedding in Carey's mind. He used to sit in his school- house and look at the maps that he had di-awn, musing on Cook's voyages round the world, and Cook gave him an idea of the world. Fuller gave an idea of the Church's duty to the world, and God's message to the world. As he sat there and mused, these two ideas came together, and the outcome of their union was that he wrote another pamphlet on the duty of using means to convert the world to Chi-ist. It was always the World with Carey. Fuller did this for Carey : he taught him a tmth, he pressed it upon him. He got his friends and neighbours to pray for the Kingdom of God ; he taught them also the same ti-uth, and thus, when Carey preached that May sermon, so full of Divine power, he was God's answer to their prayers. They were crying to God for His Kingdom to be extended, and by the lips and person of Carey, God said, " Why cry ye to Me ? Speak unto the people that they go forward." I must return to the pamphlet. The pamphlet was, to my mind, an epoch-making thing rather than the sennon; and 1788, the year of its publication, was, on many accounts, one of the most mai-vellous years in the Christian era. There are one or two things very pertinent to our purpose connected with it. In that same year which produced Carey's modest little pamphlet, the Times Avas bom. Ah ! how absurd to compare that little pamphlet with the " Tlnniderer." But I will contrast them, with your leave. The Times from its birth has studiously set THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 67 itself to follow public opinion. It lias not always done so. But that has been its infirmity, not its fault. It has tried to do it; it has some- times taken the talk and the tattle of the club-room and the literaiy cotene for public opinion, and found itself Avrong ; but to the very best of its great abUity it has followed opinion ever since. But that pamphlet faced opinion, and defied it; set itself to change the opinion of the Church and the world : and to-day all the Churches of Christ are following its lead, and there is not a single thing which can be indicated in which the world is doing the same thing for the Times. There is another difference. The Times set itself to reflect the face of the worid. Again, I say, it did not always do it very well. You have looked sometimes into a mirror, and it has made youi- face look very long ; you have looked into another miiror, and it has made your face look very broad ; now you look into another, and it makes you look so green, that surely you must be ill; into another, and you are evidently threatened with an attack of apoplexy. A miiTor gives a little of its o^vn defects to its reflection. So the Times has usually given a discoloured image of the age, but still it has done its best to reflect it; it has never tried to change it. Carey set himself to change the face of the peoples, and the result of that pamphlet and of its life-sequel has been to change the face of many nations, and it is going on to transfigui-e the face of the whole world. I say, Sii-, judging from the manifested power of things, I would rather be the author of that pamphlet than the founder of the Times. In the same year, 1788, there Avas a great missionary society foi-med of another sort. The Botany Bay Settlement was founded, and England sent out a great company of criminal missionaries— I was going to call them the Society for the Propagation of Vice in Foreign Paris. It started with larger numbers than ours, and I am afraid it has had a greater number of agents ever since. In 1788 also, the trial of Wan-en Hastings began, and the conscience of England was somewhat stin-ed about the Avi-ongs which India had endured from EngUsh hands. But the incident of that year which chiefly interests me is the publication of the closing volumes of Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Eoman Empire." Now you know what controversy had been stii-red by that book ; how Gibbon had de- liberately set himself, although in vain, to prove that the secondary causes of the early success of Christianity Avere sufficient to account for it without going back to a Divine original. Now, Sii-, a great many answers were made at the time, and have since been made, to those chapters ; but I ventui-e to assert that the best answer and indeed the finest apologetic work published in the eighteenth century was Carey's pamphlet. He took all the wind out of Gibbon's sails, or di-ew all the sting out of his sneers by the simple argument that although, or rather because, the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation, we must use the appropriate means for bringing this power to bear on mankind. He said 68 THE CENTENARY CELEBHATIOJT. that if only we did what the early Chui'ches did in the employment o^ means all would be well ; if only we set in motion the secondary causes, the First Cause would be sui-e to work. But he blamed the modem Church for not doing these things, and thus he took aU the sting and force out of Gibbon's argument. We cannot discuss all Gibbon's points, but I should like to flit over the ground and di-op a few seed-corns in your minds which may suggest reflection in future days. I shall not take these secondary causes in Gibbon's order, but in an order of my own for a reason of my own. The first that I name is this. Gibbon insisted that early missionaries of Christianity were largely successful through their claim to work mii-acles. I always thought this the weakest part of his chapters. But I shall not now discuss it. I am sure of this, that it will not explain any success in modern days. "We do not make any pretensions to work miracles. We leave miracles to bastard Buddhists, and if anybody is converted by their claims to miraculous power, all I can say is, that they deserve to be; it serves them right, and they wiU get their reward. But we make no claim of that sort. We do not say that Carey worked a miracle. Our joy to-night is this, that there are two milHons of native Christians in India, and if they could be brought together they would be prepared to give this testimony — the testimony given of old to John the Baptist- William Carey did no miracle, but whatsoever things he said of this Man were ti-ue. The second point is that these missionaries were very sure of immor- tality. Gibbon contrasted their certainty mth the very, very trembling anticipations of the most advanced philosophers in this matter. He does not tell us where they obtained their certainty. I quite believe that it was one of the secondary causes of the early success of Christianity, and that it has had much to do with oui- success in India and elsewhere to-day. The glad tidings of a rich, fuU-fmited life hereafter, the prospect of an active immortahty, have great attractions for the human spu-it. Human nature abhors extinction. It sighs for a sequel to the broken story of love and aspii-ation which death seems to terminate. Blessed be God who, of His abundant mercy, hath begotten us to a Hvely hope, and sends us to the heathen with a message so iuspiring and ennobling to the soul. We are not ashamed of the Gospel on this account, but glory in it as an undoubted element of power. Another point on which Gibbon expatiated was the wonderful advantage accruing to Christianity from the perfect unity of the Chm-ch imder the Episcopalian order of government, and he pointed out that that fashion of government not merely kept the people in an excellent state of discipline, but it enabled them to distribute liberal rewards and rigorous pimishments of a temporal sort. Possibly he was, in a measure, right ; but assm-edly this plea will not accomit for modern missions, and in particular it will THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 69 not account for our Indian missions. It was not an Episcopalian Cliurcli ■which founded these ; on the contrary, it should be known that while Carey was pondeiing his plans, there was a Chiistian man, named Mr. Grant, over here from India, actually at that time trying to persuade the Archbishop of Canterbin-y to start a Mission in India. The Archbishop of Canterbury said he would mention it to Mr. Pitt ; and Mr. Pitt said he would mention it to King George. King George was trembling on his throne, and Mr. Pitt was trembling lest he should not be able to keep him on it, and he said : " It is too revolutionary ; the gi-eatest disaster that could happen would bo to disturb and introduce new elements in India." A^liereupon the Archbishop, with all the organisation of Episcopal unity at his command, told Mr. Grant that nothing could be done. So it happened that missions were founded in India not by the Anglican Chui-ch, but by a small sect of this Midland Galilee. There has been no unity since. The Episcopalians have come in and done glorious work. But I say there has not been the unity Gibbon spoke of. Would to God there had been or could be ! How bitter have been some of the conflicts even about the translation of some of the words of the Bible. Yet, in face of this conflict and this want of unity, see what wonders God has \\Tought I These wonders clearly cannot be accounted for by the order of the government or by the unity of the Church. Thank God, we had our little tmion before this Centenary came ! We are no more General Baptists or Particular Baptists, no more G.'s or P.'s, but all of us sweet honey-making bees. God grant that no element may spring up to trouble us and to divide that which God has jaut togethei-, but may the century witness the uniting by God of many bodies which man by his ignorance has put asunder I A fourth cause to which Gibbon attributed the success of the early Chui'ch was the practice of virtue by Christians. Shade of Edward Gibbon ! we thank thee for that word. He does not tell us where they get their virtue from or what spiritual force constrained them to live holy, godly, sober Uves. We know that for ourselves, however ; so we can do without the testimony. But Gibbon's plea was true. With what shame and confusion and soitow does it cover us concerning the name of Christian to-day I There were no miscalled Christian nations in those early centuries to confound the judgments of the heathen. But now what does the name of Christian mean to the Hindu ? Does it mean virtue ? Oh, no ! In tens of thousands of cases it means vice, and he uses it as an adjective to describe vices I will not name. In the eyes of the Hindus the luxurious and self-indulgent and far from pure society which clusters around Viceregal courts is Christian. Military camps supply the most conspicuous tj'pes of Christian virtue. How unspeakable, how immeasurable have been the hindrances which have come from this source to our missionary work I But should we not also say when we 70 THE CENTENARY CELEBEATION, think of the myi-iads who have become Christians in the face of all the prejudice excited by these facts : What hath God wrought ? Last, but not least, Gibbon mentioned amongst these secondary causes the activity of Christian zeal. Again, Gibbon did not explain whence it came. Singularly enough, he contrasted the zealous spirit of primitive Christians with the cold, contemptuous, and defensive spirit of the Jews. He did not explain how a little group of Jews were caused by Christ to seethe and boil with ardour to convert and fraternise with Gentiles. That surely was a moral miracle which requires some philosophical ex- planation. But let this pass. Here is a great truth, whoever teaches it. No enterprise can flourish without zeal. Coldness converts nothing ; lukewarmness men abhor and despise ; but zeal is the evidence of Hfe. Zeal is like fire which kindles zeal ; zeal for men is love for men ; and love alone can beget love. Where, then, shall we get our zeal ? We all want it. I think some of us have cold hearts ; I think some of us are lukewarm. Wherewithal shall we find fire for our zeal ? Wishing will not bring it ; praying does not always seem to bring it to us. Where shall we get it ? We have come here to the birthplace of our missions, hoping to be touched with the fine enthusiasm which was felt and manifested by our fathers. We are hereto stir one another's hearts with heat-waves — waves of loving memory and sympathy and prophetic hope ; but it will all end in a transient spasm of emotion unless we learn the old, old lesson that zeal is not only the parent of work, but the child of it. This is the order taught by Pentecost and taught by Carey. God first stirs men up to desire good things for His Kingdom, then to pray, and then to work : and when men lay themselves on the altar of His service, He answers their sacrifice with fire. The altar is the only place on earth where God's fire bums. God's fire descends on nothing but sacrifice. Our fathers were a few and feeble folk until they passed from praying to work, until they were taught to expect great things and to attempt great things. Then they became heroes, an exceeding great army ; and their looking, and their expecting, and their attempting have not been in vain. Through the century God has answered them by doing great things through them and for them; and now, as the second century opens before us, be this our motto : Let us look for greater things and attempt greater things, and as God liveth He will show us greater things than these. The meeting was then brought to a close with the singing of the Doxology. THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 71 THE MEETING IN AVESLEY CHAPEL began at eight o'clock the same evening, May 31st, nncler the presi- dency of MR. W. WILLIS, Q.O. Dr. Pierson, of America, having offered prayer, the Chairman pro- ceeded to address the audience. He said : — I am never permitted to take part in any missionary ser\^ces, whether home or foreign, without feeling myself embarrassed by the recollection of the divisions which mark the visible body of Christ. To-night we come together as Baptists to celebrate a starting point in Christian acti- vity Avhich led to an unwonted expansion of the Redeemer's Kingdom, and brought material blessings to nations which their jiolitical rulers Avere unable to confer. One hundred years ago to-day Carey preached in this town a sermon which really created the Baptist Missionary Society. We think it well to recall that event to our memories, to trace its consequences, and determine the nature and extent of the responsi- bilities which that event imposes upon us. Our hearts are full of delight. We are having — at least, I am — one of those sweet experiences in Christian life the slightest reference to which a hundred years ago would have excited the contempt and ridicule of Sydney Smith. This is to us a season of great joy. We are pleased to remember that Carey was a Baptist, and that he lived up to and conformed so closely to his Lord's commands ; yet we feel that for us to celebrate this event only as Baptists, or in mere admiration of the man, would rob it of nearly all its gloiy, and deprive us of its chief lessons. We have assuredly not met together merely to pro- nounce eulogiums on Carey or his work ; we have come, I trust, as in the very presence of Christ to acknowledge His supremacy and power. Carey would himself rebuke us if we acted otherwise. You all know the beautiful story how that when Dr. Duff had spoken much of Carey in Carey's presence, the dying missionajy said to Dr. Duff, "You have been speaking much of Dr. Cai'cy ; when I am gone, say nothing about Dr. Carey, speak of Dr. Carey's Sa\dom\" That command wo shall to-night obey as if it were addressed to ourselves, and shall, I trust, speak only of Dr. Caiey's Savioiu* and His decisive victories. Wlienever a Christian believer thinks of Christ he thinks, or ought to think, at the very same moment of Christ's body, the Chui-ch — that invisible body which consists 72 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. of all those believers in Christ who have passed into their rest, and those "who now exist upon earth in the various communities which are called after Christ's name. It is this body from which the believer in Christ never separates himself ; it is ever present to his thought ; he never separates himself from it either in prayer or praise or work. In that body there can be no schism, and from that body no true believers in Christ can be separated. Yet I am free to tell you to-night there are members of the body of Christ who will not recognise us as constituting a Church of Christ, nor even acknowledge that the truly sincere amongst us form part of Christ's body, the Church. "We have, however, an assur- ance of our relation to the Christ arising from a deep and lasting experi- ence of His love, and can never meet without thinking and acting in the name of the whole body of Christ, no matter where its members may be found. It is in the name then of this body and as members of it that we raise om* voices to-night in shouts of thanksgiving and praise. Moreover, it is this body of Christ which gives to Christ one of His peculiar and splendid titles, and from Avhich all His followers derive their greatest joy. Christ is, by reason of the number of His followers, a King and Euler, and possesses a kingdom which is the only one which cannot be skaken, and which alone of all kingdoms moves forward with ever-increasing splendour and dignity. It is in the conception of Christ's Church as a kingdom that I am able to appreciate Him truly, and through the magnificent victories He has gained, discern His triumphs over all political rule or authority. It is only by taking a long stretch of time that you can see the opposition clear and distinct between Christ's kingdom and earthly kingdoms, and trace the results of that opposition. I am never so assured of the reality of Christ as when, in the lapse of many years, I see His marvellous triumphs over all earthly potentates and rulers. Since Carey started the missionary activity of the Christian Church in 1792, 1 see more distinctly in the hundred years that have since elapsed, not even excejjting the Apostolic age, the absolute supremacy of Christ in all earthly affairs. One hundred years ago to-day there were political rulers in India who said, " Christ shall not come here nor His disciples." Looking only at the things that were seen, they said that if Christ's power and influence were felt in India their empire would be lost, and lost by the massacre of 10,000 or 20,000 Englishmen. They were engaged in India in getting wealth, increasing riches, and hastening the time of their return to expend at home with offensive ostentation their ofttimes ill-gotten wealth. They laboured hard to extend theii' teiTitory and to fasten their authority upon native princes. They resisted every change, and declared that the empire in their judgment was dependent upon the methods they adopted. They actually said, " Our servants and agents shall not speak for Christ ; the Bible shall not be circulated in our teriitory. We will exclude the Scriptures from our colleges and TIFE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 73 schools, and admit tho Sliastors and thn Koran. We ^vill foster caste, and if any Sepoys become Christians we will expel them from the army. We Avill actually share the abominable taxes of Juggernaut, and disburse from our treasury £20(),0()0 a year for Mohammedan and Hindu temples. We are devoted to British interests, and if the missionaries of Christ arc found here we wiU treat them as interlopers, and imprison them." That was their policy, such their aims, and I have to show you in a few sentences the work accomplished by missionary effort, and that these rulers have sustained the utmost defeat and overthrow, that on every point they have been defeated, and Christ has been victorious. I seem, in the review of these hundred years, to hear His voice saying, " Your plans and policy shall not prevail; the foundations of lasting empire cannot be laid in apostacy and impiety ; this English people have come to India to gain rule by My authority, and they are not to lose it until I have fulfilled My purpose to reveal Myself to the Indian races as their Saviour and Benefactor. My Gospel shall be preached through the length and breadth of India. You shall not make it a crime to speak in My name, nor shall you inflict penalties upon My servants who speak on My behalf. Moreover, I will impart to your government a humanity of which, without Me, you are incapable. You shall no longer take revenue for the bloody and obscene orgies of Juggernaut ; you shall abolish the terrible crime of infanticide ; you shall not suffer the widow to be burnt upon the funereal pyre ; you shall give the Gospel to the Indian people. And when your absolute unwillingness to speak a word on My behalf, although calling yourselves by My name, shall create a mutiny threatening the extinction of your rule, My followers whom I will raise up in your civil and militaiy service shall, by a heroism nurtured by My Spirit, redeem and save your authority and power." Those of you who recollect anything of the history of the course of events in India know that Christ has ruled there and impressed His will upon its rulers, and that I have only put in the form of pro- phecy the facts that have been realised by missionary effort. Eemember, therefore, that Christ has had His victories ; but it is equally instructive to note by what instruments they were accomplished. The history of the missions to the heathen, as all other truly successful work for Christ, teaches us that our victories can only be secured and won by the living Spirit in a living body. The utterance still remains true, " Not by might nor by jiower, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts." I seem to hear the Saviour say, " Twill accomplisli My purpose, not by the things which are seen, but by the things that are unseen. I will use as My instruments men who are despised and reproached by the world. The force of My Kingdom resides in the spiritual life I confer upon My jjeople. The possession of that life is aU the fitness they need for My purposes ; nor is earthly learning at all requisite to fit them to 74 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION, spread My name. I will make an association of consecrated men regen- erated by My Spirit, and sustained by My presence. They shall be equal to every emergency. I will call up My ' consecrated cobbler ' from Northampton; I will employ the 'didactic labourer,' the ' deliiious mechanic ' ; yea, I will employ the di-unken declarations of Methodism." I am using the words of Sydney Smith, and I use them on pui-pose. These are the phrases of the opponents of our missions, and the advocates of what is called sober and rational Christianity, which means no Christianity at all. I quote these words in order that, as you remember them, you may magnify the power of Christ in using these instruments. " I will stir up the zeal of all denominations of Christians, who shall carry My name to the ends of the earth." The instruments which Christ employed excited the ridicule of Sydney Smith and his friends. But by these insignificant men the work was accomplished, and we may leam thence that every believer in Christ is fitted to extend His Kingdom, and is under the responsibility of rendering individiial and j)ersonal service to the Redeemer. With respect to India, it is our duty to labour to diiFuse over the whole of that vast continent the name of Christ until the Church of Christ, there spoken of as the least of all seeds, shall, by the Divine blessing, become the greatest among herbs. Do not let us trouble ourselves whether British rule in India shall remain or not. It is our duty to supply what has been called the saddest of India's wants, a revelation of the real nature of God. This Christian teaching will fit the Indian people for self-government. Let us move forward in our work, never coveting, or looking for, the approval of the political rulers of the country. Let it be our mission to purify and regenerate by Christ's Gospel the individual atoms that make up the Indian people. Our aim may be well expressed in the language of one of the brightest of India's Christian soldiers. " The j)roblem of India," he says, " may be worked out by leavening India with Christian principles. "When that is done she will be unfit for any form of slavery, however mild. England may then leave her with the overthrow of idolatry and a time faith built up, with developed resom-ces, and with an enlightened and awakened people." The world, with all its brilliant histories, Avill never have seen so truly great a close to a great national career. "I believe firmly," said this great man, ' ' this is what God meant England to do with India, and God grant that she may do it." I will only add that I hope the members of our Baptist churches here in England wiU hasten to do their part in bringing about so magnificent a conclusion, and that our de- scendants, when another hundred years shall have elaj)sed, shall rejoice in the splendour of such a day. May they then recall the fact that the energies of this generation materially contributed to procure and bring about such a blessed consummation. THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. THE REV. EDWARD PARKER, D.D., of Brighton Grove College, Manchester, next addressed the meeting. He said : — In the year 1849 or 1S.50, just wheu I was beginning to take an interest in the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God, a sermon was lent me to read. I have not seen the sermon since. I don't know whether it is still in existence ; but I was told at the time that it had been pi-eachod a few years before at Kettering by Dr. Godwin, of Bradford, in connection with the Jubilee of the Baj)tist Missionary Society. The text was, "The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad," and the preacher called attention to the fact declared, the hand recognised, and the sentiment expressed. Admitting that this text and these thoughts were appropriate to the Jubilee of our Society, are they not much more appropriate to its Centenary ? The fact declared is true to a much greater extent than it was fifty years ago. Great things have been done. It would be impossible in the course of one address even to summarise the things that have been done. But we feel almost instinctively how great they are, if we reflect only for a moment on the extent to which the missionary sx:)irit has spread amongst Christian people and Christian Churches, on the amount of money that has been contributed to the missionary cause, the extent and variety of the fields for labour opened and occupied, the work actually done, and the success which in many directions has attended that work. There can scarcely be a more conclusive proof of the great things done than is furnished in the demand that has been created for yet fiirther work. This augmented demand, coming to us so pressingly and persistently from every quarter, embarrassing as it is in some of its aspects, is, if viewed rightly, full of encouragement and stimidus. It bears eloquent testimony to the victory in which past conflicts have issued, and to the success with Avhicli past endeavours have been crowned. Now and then we hear it objected that missions are a failure. Only now and then, for amongst the great things ah'eady done is that of secur- ing for missionary woi'k the cordial sympathy and approval of men everywhere whose opinion and judgment are of any weight. But now and then the hoarse voice of the croaker is heard objecting: " Missions are a failure, and the money and lives spent on them waste." Such an objection is preposterous, if not worse than that, in face of the fact that the missionary is everywhere in demand. That work cannot have been a failure which has awakened the slumbering conscience of the nations, and made a whole world clamant for the reconciling Word of the living God. 76 THE CENTENARY CELEBBATION. Verily, great things have been done, and the great things done are of such a character that there can be no difficulty in seeing the Divine hand in them, and should be no hesitancy in acknowledging that the Lord hath done them. "This is the Lord's doing, it is marvellous in our eyes." "The Lord hath done great things for us," and we are therefore glad. At any rate, we ought to be glad. I trust it is true as a matter of fact that we are glad. We rejoice in what the Lord hath done, and bless Him for it. Yes ; we are glad, because of the great things that the Lord hath done, but is our gladness of a godly sort ? That is an important question, and the answer to it must be determined by the influence that our gladness exerts on us. If it be of the right kind, two effects will follow — first, it will make us very grateful for the past ; and, secondly, it will keep us from resting satisfied with it. What has been done will only intensify our anxiety that yet more may be done, and impel us to the doing of it. Pious gladness is as full of energy as it is of thankfulness. It is a constraining force to renewed and more vigorous action. It makes every success an inspiration to new endeavour ; every attainment a stepping-stone to some greater and grander achievement. Moses was glad, because of the great things God had done for Israel in multiplying them, so that they had become as the stars of heaven for multitude. And his gladness constrained him to pray, "The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times as many more as ye are, and bless you as He hath promised." His joy in what had been done made him eager for the doing of a thousand times more, and emboldened him to seek it. If om- joy is of the right kind, it will have a similar effect upon us. Why should not we make this prayer of Moses, the man of God, om- model prayer in connection Avith this Centenary celebration ? From the great things that God has already done, let us draw encoui-agement and inspiration to seek a further increase of a thousandfold all round. Our motto now and henceforth should be, "Expect greater things from God," accompanied, of course, with attempting greater things for God. Out of the many greater things which we should expect from the Lord, let me select one for special mention. We need to ask the Lord to do yet greater things for us in arousing and intensifying the missionary spirit in our midst. We are thankful for what has been done in this respect. We are thankful that the little company of a dozen or so that comprised our whole Society at its first meeting has grown in this and other lands into a constituency of hun- di-eds of thousands. But still we need that more should be done, and what has been done encourages us to hope for more. We need that the missionary spirit amongst us should be at once more -widespread, so that everyone may come under its power, and more profound, so that all may be stirred to intenser depths of earnestness. This is our chief need. It THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 77 is at the foundation of everything else we need, and it comprehends everything else. Someone has lately said, " The want of to-day is more Careys." Would it not be better to say that the want of to-day is that we should ourselves become Careys ? — become Careys in the only sense in which such a thing is possible, and that is by being filled vnth. the Spu'it that filled him. One thing has been said of Carey that accounts in large measure for both what he was and did, and, if the same thing were only true of us, it would bring about all that we desire: "He looked upon the world with God's eyes." Why should not we look upon the world ^vith God's eyes, just as Carey did ? Why was it that he looked upon the world with God's eyes y It was because ho lived so much in the Divine hght, and under the influence of the Divine Spirit, that he could do no other. He had lost his own vision in God's ; but it is as really our privilege to live in the Divine light, and under the influence of the Divine Spirit, as it was Carey's, and, if we rise to the dignity of this piivilege as he did, we, like him, shall see the world Avith God's eyes, and then we shall feel towards the world as he felt, and shall long as he longed for the world's salvation. If we look on the world with God's eyes we shall see that everywhere the Gospel is the world's great need. Man everywhere is ignorant of God, and he wants the Gospel to make God known to him. Man everywhere is conscious of sin, and he wants the Gospel to explain to him how sin can be forgiven, and to show him that God is a just God and a Saviour. Man everywhere is a slave to his owti lusts and passions ; he needs the Gospel to renovate his natui-e, and set him free from the power of sin. Man everywhere is spiritually dead ; he needs the Gospel to quicken him to Divine Life. Man everywhere is haunted with distressing fears of the future and gloomy forebodings ; he needs the Gospel to make the outlook bright, and to bring life and immortality to light. There is for the Gospel a world-wide necessity, and another thing is equally true — there is in the Gospel a world-wide adaptation. These two things can be aflErmed of no other religion that has ever found a place amongst men. And hence one unmistakable proof of the Divine origin of the Gospel. All religions of human invention are more or less local in thou- character. In so far as they have in them any adaptation at all to the wants of men, that adaptation is limited to the circumstances in which they had their birth. But there is nothing local about the Gospel. It is a blessing for man. And this is one of the best proofs we can have that it comes from God. We believe that the air we breathe comes from God. If asked for reasons for tliis behef , we think it enough to answer — the air is for man everywhere necessaiy, he cannot live without it, and to man every^vhere adapted ; it is a blessing for man, and so comes from Him who is man's Maker. We believe that the light by which we see comes from God, and if questioned as to our 78 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. belief, we retui'n the same answer — the light is for man everywhere necessary, and to man everywhere adapted; it is a blessing for man, and could only come from Him who is man's Maker. The Gospel is a blessing for man just as really and just as much as the air and the light, and carries in itself the same irrefragable proof of its Divine origin. And because it is a blessing for man eveiywhere, therefore to man everywhere it must be preached. This is God's view, and hence He hath said it shall be preached — shall be preached through all the world unto all nations. This is just what Carey saw a hundred years ago. He saw it when scarcely any one else did, because He looked with God's eyes. And if we look with God's eyes to-day we shall see the same thing, just as clearly and just as palpably, if not more so. Our knowledge of the world has greatly in- creased during the centuiy. But the stronger light thrown on the con- dition of the world by increased knowledge has only emphasised its common and paramount necessity. The world everywhere needs the Gospel, and cannot be blessed without it. Nothing you can give the world instead of the GosjDel can meet its requii*ements. You can no more make a happy world without the Gospel than you can make day without the sun. If we look with God's eyes, we shall see that to give the Gospel to the world is our work. God has chosen us to this end. He has given to us the Gospel that we may give it to the world. Looking from a merely human standpoint, we should never have conjectui-ed that this would be God's plan. The work itself is so stupendous, and withal so blessed ; there are so many other agencies that might have been employed, and we are altogether so tmworthy, that we could scarcely have dreamt that God would choose us as His instruments to give the Gospel to the world. I don't really wonder at Ryland's remark to Carey — "When God pleases to convert the heathen, He can do it without your aid or mine." Of course, we know that God could do it without "your aid or mine." And when we reflect on the splendour of the work, and our own utter insignificance in the light of it ; when we reflect that there is not an angel in heaven who would not regard himself as lifted to a higher pinnacle of honour than he has ever yet attained if he were caDed to take part in it — might we not natm-ally conclude that He coidd do it without "your aid and mine." Eyland's remark simply proves that just for the moment the good man was looking with his own eyes. But Carey, at the same time, was looking with God's eyes. He there- fore saw that while God intends that the Gospel shall be spread. He also intends that we shall spread it. He has no intention of spread- ing it in any other way. This was the main thing that Carey laboui'ed to prove to his contemporaries. It was the chief point of difference between him and them. They saw that all the world needed the Gospel, THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 79 that to send the Gospel into all the world was a desirable thing, but they were not convinced of their personal duty in the matter of sending it. They did not realise that the Lord's solemn declaration, "This Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached through all the world," practically interpreted, reads, " Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel." We to-day are not so fully convinced on this point as we ought to be ; not so fully convinced as we give ourselves credit for being. God has appointed us to help Him in this work. In some things He won't have our help. In the matter of procuring oxu- own salvation, or of arranging the cii-cumstances of our own lot. He will not have our help ; but in this blessed enterprise of giving the Gospel to the world He has made us workers together with Him. And this is tiaie of us personally. The work of spreading the Gospel does not belong to ministers as ministers, or to chm-ches as churches, but to us as individuals. If you and I are Christians, it is as really our duty to give the Gospel to the world as it is the duty of the missionaries who wear out their lives in the high places of the field. God intends that the whole world shall have the Gospel. There are, at this moment, hundreds of millions of human beings that have never heard of the Gospel, but God intends that it shall be sent to them all. And there is no use in our meeting that fact by the wondering inquiry, " If the Lord should make windows in heaven, might this thing be ? " If we do, the answer that comes to us is, " No, this thing may not be by the Lord's opening windows in heaven." He does not intend to do any such thing. He intends that the world shall have the Gospel, and He intends that the world shall have it through you and me ; there is no one else for it. He has linked His piu-pose with our action, and does not intend to work through any other medium. The preservation of the world is subordinated to God's great ]3urpose of giving it the Gospel. This world is a theatre in which many great men play out their little part. Kings parade their pomp and strut in the majesty which, stripped of its external, is simply a jest; waniors display their daring and achieve their bloodstained renown; statesmen display their wisdom; and philosophers bring their wondrous discoveries to the light. But the world is not preserved for the sake of any or all of them. The preservation of the world is subordinated to God's great purpose to evangelise the world. And our lives in the world are presei"ved that we may caiiy that purpose out. Again, I repeat, there is no one else for it. If we don't cany it out there is no one to do it. What then are we doing, we personally ? What are we doing ? Are we helping in this work ? If we are not helping we are hindering. If we are not helping we are doing what in us lies to obstruct 'God's purpose, to frustrate the end for which He presei-vcs the world, 80 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. and for whicli He preserves us in it, to make our own lives a mistake and a failure. We sometimes ask — " Shall we whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high, Shall we to men benighted The lamp of life deny ? " It is well we should remember that if we do nothing to send them the lava-p of life, we do in reality deny it them. We do what we can to render it impossible that they should have it. We give our sanction to the dark- ness that enshrouds them, and the misery in which they are held. We help to seal theii- doom; we hear the doleful lamentation, "The people are destroyed for lack of knov/ledge," and our cruel response is, Be it so, let them perish. This is the light in which we shall see things if we look v/ith God's eyes. We shall see that v.-e have a responsibility in this business of Avhich we cannot rid ourselves, and which we cannot neglect except at our peiil. To-day it is not so much our fellow-men in heathen lands who are on their trial in respect to the duty of receiving the Gospel ; they are showing themselves ready to receive it, anxioiis to receive it. Ethiopia is stretching out her hands to God. It is rather we in England who are on our trial in respect to the duty of sending them the Gospel. We have in our j)ossession a Gospel by which all men everywhere can be saved. We know this because already some men everywhere have been saved by it. Can we i-efuse to send this Gospel of salvation to men, and yet dare to hope that we shall be saved ourselves ? I hope that not .one of us, as far as himself is concerned, has need to answer that question. I hoi^e it may be taken for granted that we have all recognised that this blessed work belongs to us, and that we have been trying to do some- thing in connection with it. But just one thing more. Admitting that we have been doing something, must it not also be admitted that we have not yet done all that we could do ? We could do more than we have yet done in giving, This is, perhaps, true even of the most liberal ; it is certainly true of the bulk of us. We could do more in praying — over the money we give, and for the work and the workers in whose behalf it is given. We could do more in personal effort, especially amongst those about us, in tiying to stir them to greater interest and earnestness in the cause of missions. I have no doubt that to many in his day Carey was a very uncomfortable, not to say disagreeable, man. He could not let people rest, especially if they did not think and feel with him about a lost world and its salvation. It would be well if we made ourselves more uncomfortable to many of those with whom we are associated in our churches, or brought into contact in our social and religious life. In almost every direction we could aU of us do more than we have done. Now if we look with God's eyes, we shall henceforth feel that we must put into this work our THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 81 utmost and best. God regarded it as claiming His utmost and best, and He put His utmost and best into it, for He " spared not His own Son, but freely delivered Him up." More than that He could not possibly do. Carey, looking with God's eyes, gave his utmost and best ; he gave himself. And if we look with God's eyes we shall be constrained to act in the same spirit. If we cannot give ourselves, we shall give the utmost that we can, and the utmost that we can in the spirit of Christ, whc gave all, making His sacrifice, which is the only ground of our hope, the exclusive pattern of our life. And, brethren, if we put our utmost into this work, it shall be done. It may be done during the lifetime of some of us, but it shall be done ; so that we may labour and pray, and give in confident expectation of the day that shall surely dawn — as surely as the Word of God is truth, as surely as the arm of God is power, as surely as the heart of God is love — when the Gospel's joyful sound shall reach to earth's remotest end, and men shall be blessed in Him, and all nations shall call Him blessed, and the kingdoms of this world shall become the Kingdom of cm- God, and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever. THE KEY. T. GRAHAM TARN, of Cambridge, followed. A celebrated writer, he remarked, is reported to have said, " Suppose I have yet before me ten years of life, if I were to choose as to the way in which I were to spend them, I should like to spend one year at the end of every century, and see from time to time the effect which my wiitings will have upon the world." "We cannot credit the man who uttered that >vish Avith any great amount of modesty, for it quietly takes for granted that his ■wi'itings will continue to live and wield an influence in the world for ten centuries, and that is rather a huge assumption. At the same time, his idea is decidedly an interesting one, if we take out of it the purely personal element. To spend one year on earth at the end of each century would be a wonderful experience to an observant and thoughtful man. What changes — social, political, and religious — would meet his gaze I He would be able to mark the steady progress of the race and the unfold- ing of its great ideas. He would have much to say to the men of each new generation, and would have much to learn from them. That experience is denied to us, however interesting it might be, and however much we might wish for it, and the nearest approach we can make to it is to cast back our thought for a centuxy, and read the facts in the light of histoiy instead of personal observation. In looking back across the centuiy, there are two sui-prises — first, that a hundred years ago to-night modem missions had no existence ; and second, that in a single 6 82 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. century the movement should have assumed such magnificent proportions, and wielded such a world-wide influence. We must speak respectfully and charitably of our ancestors, remember- ing that one day posterity will pass judgment upon us ; yet one is bound to say that it is scarcely creditable to the Reformed Churches of this land that they allowed more than two centuries to pass without any distinct and organised effort to preach the Gospel to the heathen. The plain com- mand of Christ lay before them, but they were too busy formulating their creeds, waging their bitter theological controversies, and subduing heresy by burning heretics to heed that command. After many weary years of controversy, followed by pitiful years of apathy, there were two movements which prepared the Church for the inauguration of her mission work— the evangelical revival under Wesley and Whitfield, and the monthly concert of prayer suggested by a pam- phlet written by Jonathan Edwards. The Church Avas just beginning to awake, and to yearn and pray for the salvation of men, when William Carey sought to wipe away the reproach of Christendom, and to add to the beliefs about which they had so bitterly quarrelled, and when the quarrels were over on which they so peacefully slumbered, this one crowning doctrine that the Church should resolutely attempt to win the world for Christ. So in this missionary movement we see the solidarity of the Church, John Wesley and Jonathan Edwards preparing the way for modem missions, and William Carey extending the principles and influences of the evangelical revival. Independence in the Church of Christ is an idle dream, interdependence is a living reality. Spiritual impulses make light of ecclesiastical boundaries, however high they may be, and any blessing which comes to one denomination is very speedily the heritage of the whole Church. There is a glorious catholicity in missions, which the promoters of this celebration have very properly recognised by calling us together to-night in a Wesleyan chapel, and by the presence on this platform of a most distinguished representative of that great section of the Church. There are many aspects in which this work of modern missions may be viewed. The particular plea which I wish to urge is that inissions have an imperial claim upon the Church, because they have been the salvation of the Church. Whatever benefits they may have conferred upon the world, it is absolutely certain that they have conferred inestimable benefits upon the Church. A lady once said very lightly and pleasantly to Dr. Guthrie, after an eloquent appeal on behalf of the ragged schools, " Ea"-ged schools have done more for you, Doctor, than you have done for them." And in all seriousness it may be affirmed that the Church is richer in sanctified manhood and in resources because she has expended her men and means on foreign missions. In every age missions have THE MEETINGS AT NOTTTXGHAM. 83 been "the articlo of a standing or falling Chnrch." Take, for example, the Church of North Africa in the days of Cj-prian and Augustine, a strong, vigorous, prosperous community, yet perishing because it was eaten up A\dth spiritual selfishness, and made no effort to spread the light and truth which it enjoyed. It had its gi-eat theologians and its schools of learning, but it was not missionary, and it perished — a sad illustration of Napoleon's maxim that " the army which remains in its entrenchments is beaten." And who can tell what decay and disaster would have ovei-taken the Churches of Britain but for the missionary movement ? for during the latter half of the eighteenth century the foes of Christianity, led by Tom Paine, were jubilant over the many signs of decadence which were visible in the Church. Missions altered the whole aspect of affairs and falsified their confident predictions. The twilight of faith was the morning and not the evening twilight ; it did not deepen into midnight darkness, but brightened into the splendours of the day. The dying embers of spiritual life were fanned into a flame. The thoughts of men were widened, and their sympathies were enlarged. The spirit that could greedily monopolise and selfishly enjoy the blessings of salvation began to disappear. The Church began to understand that the Gospel was a sacred trust given for diffusion as well as enjoyment. Prayer was quickened and vitalised. The stream of liberality was widened and deepened ; men learned to give on an altogether new scale, and to feel the meaning of Christ's beatitude, " It is more blessed to give than to receive." The resources of the Church have been multiplied by giving. The miracle of the wilderness has been repeated in the history of missions, for after feeding the famishing multitudes she has gathered up more than she originally had. Cast upon God by the very magnitude of her task, she has found in Him an infinite sufficiency, and h(*r whole life has become bolder and broader, of a richer and loftier type, more practical in its tone, and more aggressive in its spirit. If ever fallacy was shattered to pieces by solid fact it is the old argument about caring for the heathen at home before we seek to deal with heathenism abroad. An American Senator once said, when urged to support missions, "We have not rehgion enough at home, and cannot afford to send any abroad." To which the wise answer was given, "The religion of Christ is such that the more you send abroad the more you have at home." There is vastly more true religion in our land to-day, and immeasurably greater effort for the heathen at home, because of the reflex influence of missions ; and the Church has found, to its unspeakable advantage, that the enjoyment of spiritual prosperity is commensurate with the performance of duty. Missions have also served the Church hij developing and displaying the heroic side of Christianity. They have demonstrated to the world that 6* 84 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. Christianity is not the weak and effeminate system which its foes have often declared it to be, cultivating the passive graces, but failing to build up a noble and vigorous manhood. What can be bolder and more daring than the very conception of missions, contemplating, as it does, the up-rooting of all the ancient systems of idolatry, the subju- gation of the whola world to Christ, the founding of an universal empire of peace and love, in which every home shall be a temple and every human being a priest unto God ? Where, in the whole world, shall we find an ideal so magnificent, so inspiring, as that 'i Sui-ely the charge of effeminacy can never be brought against men who have deliberately set themselves to such a tremendous task ! And where can we find finer heroism than we meet with every day in the annals of missionary enterprise ? Is there no heroism in the man who casts the savings of years into the mission treasury, and leaves himself with scarcely a farthing to fall back upon, yet confident in the care of God ;■" If Mr. Baynes could only gather together and tell to the world the stories of some of the gifts which have been sent in to him, we should have a chapter worthy of being emblazoned in letters of light in the annals of missions, worthy of a place beside the Gospel stories of the widow's mite and the alabaster box of ointment. And what shall we say of parents who have given up their children to this work ? Did my dear friend and former deacon, Mr. Comber, display no heroism when he gave up his family of three bright boys and one beloved daughter to toil and suffer and lay down their lives for the salvation of Afric's sable sons ? Not long ago the secretary of a sister society called upon a widow whose only sons had fallen in the mission-field, and when he began to condole with her, she said, with the tears streaming down her face, " I am not weeping because I have lost two sons in the Lord's service, but I am weeping because I have not another son to give Him." Then think of the missionaries themselves — William Carey, venturing with the audacity of faith to assail, almost singlehanded, the strongholds of heathenism ; Henry Martyn, the Cambridge senior wrangler, turning away from the tempting field of academic renown to pi-each the Gospel to the perishing in Oriental lands ; David Livingstone, pushing his way into the interior of Africa> that its iniquitous slave trade might be abolished, and that its degraded tribes might feel the ennobling and saving influences of the Gospel; John Paton, living and labouring on the island of Tanna, menaced every day by bloodthirsty natives, yet quietly trusting in God and prosecuting his work ; John Williams, Coleridge Patteson, and Bishop Hannington, swerving not from the path of duty, though they saw before them the pangs of martyrdom, dauntless and undismayed, faithful unto death, and now wearing the crown of life. Think of missionaries who deliberately entered the la^ar-house to preach to the, THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 85 lepers, well knowing that they would come no more out, and who sold themselves as slaves to bring the slaves to Christ. Think, too, of the courage and steadfastnciss displayed by native converts, who, at the time of the Indian Mutiny and during the persecution in Madagascar, sealed their testimony with their blood, and of the splendid qualities displayed to-day by men who arc bravely witnessing for Christ amid privations and perils, showing that they are not a whit behind the missionaries in devotion to the cause of Christ. No heroism in Christianity? The man who can sneer at the Christian religion as a thing that emasculates and enervates must be profoundly ignorant of the story of modern missions. There is enough inspu-ation in that story to create an epidemic of heroism, and raise the whole Church to a loftier plane of devotion. And where can we find in these modern times more convincing evidence of the Divine origin and power of Christianitij ?- The fundamental verities of the faith are being eagerly challenged, the evidential value of the miracles is said to be a vanishing quantity, and the arguments of Paley and Butler are said to be as antiquated and obsolete as the old stage coaches and flintlocks of our ancestors. Still, as of old, the Church has its apologists ; men of ability and scholastic attainment ready and willing to defend the citadel of the faith against all comers. It is a great and blessed work to demonstrate by argument the Divinity of the Gospel and its marvellous adaptation to the deepest needs of human natm-e ; but it is a greater and more blessed Avork to give practical proof of its Divinity in the hearts and lives that it elevates, transforms, and purifies. I know no finer book on the evidences of Christianity than the story of modern missions. See what the Gospel has done during a single century, how it has changed savages into saints, lifted whole tribes from the lowest depths of barbarism and degradation to a loving and pure life ; overthrown in many lands such giant evils as cannibalism and tribal wars and slavery, and abolished Sutteeism and infanticide and human sacrifices ; gathered together Christian communities in almost every nation under the sun ; redeemed from sin and filled with an undying peace and hope a great mtdtitude which no man could number. If ail those Avho have been won to Christ by Christian missions could be gathered in one place, what a marvellous assembly it would be I " People of many a tribe and tongue, Men of strange colours, climates, lands," the living witnesses of the Divine power and the imiversal adaptation of the Gospel. We have not to go into the dim and distant past for our evidences of Christianity ; we have not to wait with bated breath to hear what our apologists have to say to the latest attacks on the 86 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. Christian faith ; the divinity of the Gospel is demonstrated by its present- day results. We court criticism. We hail investigation. If we are asked to present the credentials of our faith, we point to the results of modern missions and say, "The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the Gospel preached unto them." Missions not only develop the best life of the Church; they are building round her an impregnable bulwark which can never be broken down. But while the Church has thus derived incalculable advantages from her prosecution of the great missionary enterprise, we are reminded that the time has undoubtedly come for a new departure. Everything seems to point to this as consi^icuously the era of missionary opportunity. God, in His wonder-working providence, has laid wide open to the messengers of the Cross almost every nation upon the face of the earth, and there are movements which indicate that a spirit of inquiry is beginning to stir in races long stagnant. God is saying to us, " Lo ! I have set before thee an open door, and there are many adversaries." Shall we enter 'i If the messengers of Christ do not, the emissaries of Satan will. If we do not sow in the open furrows the good seed of the Kingdom, the enemy will sow his tares. If, when the unclean spirit goeth out of heathendom, it is not occupied by Christ, seven other spirits more wicked than the iirst will enter in and dweU there. That process is going on. The minds of the educated Hindus are being satiu-ated with sceptical literature, the manhood of China is being weakened and demoralised by the growing use of opium, and the tribes of Africa are withering beneath the blighting curse of the vile liquor traffic. If the heathen world is to be saved from the evils which oppress it and the more deadly evils which threaten it, it cannot be by the apostles of science or literature or humanity, but by the apostles of Christ. Many years ago the gi'eat leader of Positivism in France, Auguste Comte, dii'cctedthe attention of his followers to Africa, and said, " There m Africa is a splendid field of missionary enterprise for Positivism ; there is an unspoiled race, untainted by the vices of civilisation ; let the aj)0stles of Positivism go in and take possession in the name of humanity." Is it not surprising that our missionaries have never told us of the blessed work of the Positivists among these vii-gin races, and have never even hinted at the existence of mission stations and churches formed for spreading the Gosi^el of humanity ? Is it not surprising that we have never come across the annual report of this mission ■' We would urge the Positivists of England and of the Continent to embody their princi- ples in mission work, and to test them upon one of the few remaining unspoiled races. But the fact is that Positivism has no Gospel that can touch the heathen, and no motive sufficiently powerful to make it missionary. THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 87 Everybody knows that the best hopes of heathendom centre in the Church of Christ, animated by His love and proclaiming His Gospel, and aHve to the privileges and opportunities of our times. Let us gii-d ourselves anew for our task. The new epoch of missions must be worthily opened. The first chapter of the second volume must be worthy of the opening chapter of the first volume ; it must contain a record that Ave shall not blush for the coining generation to read- Shall they have to say that a few men of this generation were in earnest, and a great multitude apathetic, despite all that they had seen of missionary success, and despite the unparalleled splendour of their opportunities? Surely not! Christ is calling us to expect greater things and to attempt greater things. We are told that Michael Angelo one day went into a class-room to examine the work of his students, making a pencil mark here and another there. At length he came to one piece of work Avliich, in many respects, was very good, but it was cramped and narrow, and over it he wrote the one word, amph' us— widev. Christ has been looking at our work— good, perhaps, as far as it goes, but limited— and, pointing out to us how vast the scope, how marvellous the facilities, and how unlimited our resources, He has written over it the word amjjiuts — wider. Send out more men and send them speedily, for delay in some lands is fatal ; raise the income of our Society to more than the sum of £100,000 which has been named. "Ye that make mention of the Lord keep not silence, and give Him no rest till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth." It is not true that the Church has been " playing at missions," but it is true that she has not put herself thoroughly into them. The advanced guard has been sent, the position of the enemy has been ascertained, here and there a foitress has been taken, and prisoners have been captured, the certainty of final victory has been established ; now the reserves must be brought out, and the bugle call must be given to advance along the whole line. That is the duty of the hour, and both the prosperity of our churches at home and the progress of the Kingdom abroad depend upon the way in which we discharge it. " We are living, we are dwelling In a grand and awful time ; In an age, on ages telling. To be living is sublime. " Worlds are changing — heaven beholding, Thou hast but an hour to tight ; Love's pure banner now unfolding. On — right onward for the fight. " O ! let all the soul within you For the truth's sake go abroad. Strike ! let every nerve and sinew Tell on ages — tell for God." 88 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. The Chairman then called upon the THE EEV. HUGH PRICE HUGHES, M.A., as the last speaker, who said : — Mr. Chairman and Brethren, — I have been feeling all the evening that this is a great occasion, an historical occasion, which none of us "wtII ever forget— a sacred occasion. I thank God for the devout tone of this meet- ing, for the liigh level of the sentiment that has been expressed and ap- plauded, and I pray God to grant that you and I may rise to the true Scriptural height of this great opportunity. We can scarcely be reminded too often that it is exactly one hundred years since Carey in this very town tatight the Christian Church to lengthen her cords and to strengthen her stakes. He preached a sermon so immortal that my friend Dr. Clifford was necessarily compelled to take the same text this morning. "What other text was possible imder the same circumstances ? And do we not all pray from the very bottom of our hearts that a similar result may follow the discourse that has been uttered in God's name to-day ? For if our brethi-en a centmy ago expected great things and attempted great things, what ought not we to expect ; what ought not we to attempt ? Oui' numbers are far greater, our resources are far more extensive, and we have one immense advantage over the men of a century ago ; we have really at last realised the unity of the Church of God. I am glad to think Dr. Clifford preached this morning in a Methodist chapel, I am glad to think that you are listening to the address of a Methodist preacher to-night, and that other of my brethren as well as the representatives of all the great Free Evangelical churches mil take pai-t in the future proceedings of this gi-eat Centenary. The Chairman has referred to our many divisions, but they are beginning to disappear. The one gi-eat advantage which Eome has hitherto had over us has been her ecclesiastical im^ity. I believe that for all practical pui-poses we are on the point of sharing that advantage. We have had many proofs during the last few years of the astonishing way in which all Evangelical churches are coming together. Last year at the Centenary of Wesley's death Dr. Clifford and other leading representatives of all the churches participated in our celebration. Now, at yoiu- Centenary, we also are invited to share your joy. I believe that the novel and remarkable congress of the Evangelical Free Churches to to be held in Manchester this autumn mil evidence to the whole world our substantial unity in Christ. A few months ago I attended a meeting as crowded as this in a very similar Methodist chapel in the great Yorkshire town of Bradford, in order that all the churches there might inaugurate a house-to-house visitation of the entire place, which Avaa THE MEETlNrrR AT XOTTIXaHAM. 89 carried out witli complete success ; and I am glad to learn from the pubUe journals that the Evangelical churches at Nottingham are about to imitate that good example. It is the first time in human history that all the Evangelical churches have attempted so catholic and blessed a work in common, and I beUeve this united effort at home, this co-operation in calling upon every human being in many an English town and inviting all to decide for Christ, will lead to a house-to-house and tent-to-tent visitation of the entire human race. Why not ? Why should not we do everywhere what we have done in Bradford and what we are going to do in Nottingham ? I suppose this week hundreds of politicians are beginning a house-to-house canvass in \aew of the general election. Why should not Christians be as wise and energetic and enthusiastic as politicians ? They are going to canvass every voter in the interests of their particular party. Why should not we co-operate to canvass every human being in the interests of Jesus Christ 'i This we can do. I think Dr. Pierson, who has rendered such great services to the missionary enterprise, mentions in one of his valuable books, all of which I have read, and all of which have been of the greatest use to me, that some- body said to a gallant officer in Her Majesty's service : " Now supposing that the Queen of England had a proclamation issued, which she wished to bring to the notice of everybody in the world, and that the British army was employed not to kill in battle, but to circulate the proclamation and make everybody know its contents, how long would the army take to communicate that to the whole of the human race 'f He thought for a few moments, and then he said he thought it could be done in eighteen months. Now if our little army could do it for Queen Victoria in eighteen months, how long ought we Christians to take to let every human beuig know that God loves him and that Christ wishes to save him 'i It is high time that we discharged our duty. Even if we could not do it in eighteen months, I am certain that by proper co-operation it could be achieved in three years if we put our hearts into it. And to this end, and for the accomplishment of our evangel, it seems to me that the supreme duty of the hour is that we should close oui- ranks. Fifty years ago Mazzini said to divided, enslaved Italy that the condition of her emancipation was that Italians should not depend upon France or any foreign friend, but upon themselves, and upon the strength which union would give them. "Be united," he said, "and be free." The dream of Mazzini has been accomplished. I say that for the purpose of letting all men know the good news from heaven the one condition is that we should unite, that we should federate, that we should con- federate. I am thankful to the General Baptists and the Particular Baptists for setting us so excellent an example. I assure you, brethren, I hold you up everywhere as examples to be imitated by the Methodists. We have been great sinners in the past. It is a way we 90 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. have of being tremendously in earnest in whatever we are doing, whether we are doing right or wrong. The divided state of Methodism on the mission-field is deplorable and disastrous. We have a divided Methodism in Italy, we have a divided Methodism in India, we have a divided Methodism in China, but I believe there are many signs that we are rising to the level of Baptist brotherly love, and before you are much older we may reach it. Indeed I myself have heard excellent news from across the broad Atlantic this very week. Two of the great coloured Methodist chui'ches in America are on the point of union. I do not know why it is — there is no time to discuss it now — that nearly all the coloured people in America are either Methodists or Baptists. Whatever be the explanation, it indicates at any rate a high state of intelligence on their part. There are milHons of coloured Baptists and Methodists in America. The coloured Methodists are divided into three great churches, and I believe these coloured churches are going to set the white people an example that ought to make them coloiu-ed if they do not follow it. They are about to come together and end theii- strife, and I am glad to say that in a very grave and important document, the quadi-ennial address, which has just been read in the name of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America, the great statesmen and leaders of our Church on that side of the Atlantic have declared, in express terms, that they think the time has come, now that slavery is abolished, that the terrible schism between Northern and Southern Methodism should be brought to an end, and that they should once more be one great Church. All this is full of encouragement for Baptists and for everyone. As my friend Mr. Tarn, I think, said, whenever a good idea is carried out it propagates itself in all churches, and I think any sensible thing done for one church is done for the advantage of all churches. They all rise and fall to- gether. It seems to me, therefore, our high duty, at home especially, is to present a imited front to every form both of British and foreign heathenism. Wherever it is possible I go in for practical unity. I find no Scriptural ground for the divisions of Christendom. I do not believe that they are of the least service to us. We are not responsible for what our fathers did or left undone ; but we must get rid of those differences as far as possible, and where we cannot have absolute union, we should seek every opportunity of co-operation both at home and abroad. I do not say this because I underestimate the ecclesiastical and theological differences that exist. I assure you I am a theologian myself. I know all about it. You must not imagine I do not luiderstand theology because I speak intelligible English. I know all about it, and I am prepared to admit, as a theologian, that some of our differences are so great, so deep, and so delicate, that they need a gi'eat deal of time for their solution, and excellent temper as well. Now, we have no time to talk the thing out on earth, and there is no guarantee that we can main- THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 91 tain our tempers to the close of the debate. I propose, therefore, an adjom-nment of the discussion until we get to heaven. In the mean- time, let us realise that Christ is the centre of unity. Let us preach Chi-ist, the living Christ, and all om- sectarian differences will disappear. We have, indeed, made gloiious progress — that is to say, Christ has since Carey began. But I do not hesitate to confess myself, at this great historical missionary gathering, that I am profoundly dissatisfied with the present condition of Biitish missions. I hold, in the sight of Christ, who is with us, that we are not doing one-thousandth part of what we ought to do for foreign missions. Without attempting to take to-night any ideal Scriptural standard, let us note for a moment what at any rate one gi-eat Missionary Church has done— the Moravian. I suppose no one here will argue that a Moravian ought to do better than a Baptist. I deny it. You may assert that if you like, but I deny at any rate that he ought to do better than a Methodist. Therefore, without discussing you, I will compare the Moravians and the Methodists. We know what a wonderful Church the Moravian Church has been. It is said that in that Church one in seventy is a missionary, and every Moravian contributes, on an average, forty-eight shillings a year to foreign missions. Now, supposing the Wesleyan Methodists did as well. I leave Mr. Baynes or some other audacious Baptist to apply the moral to you — I just work out the sum so far as the Methodists are concerned. Suppose the Methodists do as well as the Moravians, what will be the result next year ? I do not know what our missionary secretaries woiild do. I am half inclined to think they would all go mad for joy. But if the Methodists, who are supposed to be missionary, attained to the Moravian level, instead of employing 400 missionaries we should employ 60,000; and instead of contributirig annually less than £125,000, we should contribute more than a million sterling I Now that is a very extraordinary state of things. I can find nothing in the Scripture which indicates that a Methodist cannot attain to the Moravian level, and you will be greatly comforted when I assure you there is nothing in the Scripture to prevent you also from rising to that level. Now, how is it that we have not done so ? I believe that the explana- tion is to be found in two terrible delusions which have taken unconscious possession of the Christian mind, and this is the time and this is the place to root them up. In the first place, it seems to me that we Christians have exalted the pastor above the evangelist. I look abroad, and I see that thousands of ministers in this country are dancing attend- ance upon the saints instead of seeking to save the lost. I say that is unscriptural. I am reminded of an incident in the career of a Roman emperor who went on one occasion to the bath, and his curiosity was excited by seeing some poor fellow rubbing himself against the marble wall, and he asked the man why he did it. The man said, " Because I 92 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. am too poor to pay for a shampoo." The sympathy of the emperor was so deeply aroused that he gave the man some money. The next time the emperor visited the bath he found one hundred men rubbing themselves against that wall. " Oh, you lazy rascals," he said, " do not imagine I shall give you any money ; I gave that solitary fellow something because he was poor and alone and trying to help himself — but you, there are a hundred of you, plenty to rub one another." Well, now, I say that there are plenty of CJiristians in this country to comfort and to coddle one another. Let the ministers of God do their work, which is to pro- claim the Gospel to the heathen at home and abroad. Of course, if there is any time left afterwards to comfort the saints they may if they like, but I am not concerned about that. What is the rule which our blessed Redeemer has given us ? — that if we have ninety-nine in the safe pasture of the chui'ch — in the fold — occupying comfortable pews in well-built churches for which they pay seat rents in advance — and there is one wandering away on the mountains of sin, we must leave all those comfortable saints and go after the one. We have completely reversed it in practice, whether we reahse it or not, and our cui'ious policy has been to spend all our time in comforting and coddling the five who have not gone astray, and neglecting the ninety-and-five who are far from home. I say the very first duty of the Christian Church is to be missionaiy. Everything must give way to that ; that must be done whatever is left undone. Our primary duty is to herald the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the .entire human race, and I am sure that the only successful principle of our campaign is the principle which the Germans found so successful in the late war, that of carrying on the war at the enemy's expense and in the enemy's country. Old Eome was defended by her legions on the Danube and the Euphrates. The decisive battles of that empire were fought on the frontiers, and the decisive battles of Christ must be fought on the frontier too ; I tell you, Christian brethren, that if we do not invade the heathen, the heathen will invade us. Already we have an English gentleman establishing a Mohammedan mosque in Liverpool, and Mrs. Besant is devoting her extraordinary powers to propagating the extraordinary tomfooleries of Esoteric Buddhism. We must destroy these pestiferous absiu'dities, not in Liverpool and London, but in Constantinople and Calcutta. We must recover the old missionary enthusiasm. The answer to Macaulay's famous question with respect to the extraordinary revival of Eomanism in the century following the Protestant era was that Eome was missionary, but Protestantism was not — with this result, that a missionary Rome was better and more successful than a non-missionary Protestantism, and with this further result, that to-day a smaller area of Europe is Protestant than on the THE MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM. 93 day that Martin Liithor died. The Romanist has done more for his Church than many of us have done for our Christ. Our entei-prises have been too parochial, too trumperj% too microscopic. I believe that God has given the Baptist Missionary Society, in Mr. Baynes, the best missionary secretary now living. I believe the secret of his success has been that he has conceived large things and attempted large tilings that have appealed to the enthusiasm and the heroism of the Church. I exceedingly wish ho was like the worms and some animals of that low type, that he might be cut up into separate pieces, and each piece become the same as the original animal was. If that were possible I would hew him in pieces before the Lord on this very platform, but I would cany off at least one piece for the benefit of my own missionary society. Thank God for an enthusiastic leader ^vith large ideas and daring enterprise. The Lord multiply such in all churches. We are on the threshold of the twentieth century, and we should attempt the evangelisation of the human race on a gigantic scale. I have been reading lately a calculation which in some form or other I have often read diu-ing the last quarter of a century, in which it was shown with mathematical, irresistible force that if we had only 1,000 real thoroughgoing Scriptiu-al Christians — that is to say. Christians every one of whom resolved that by the help of the Holy Spirit of God he would bring one sinner to Christ within the next twelve months, and if every such convert were inspired with the same enthusiasm, and if the work of evangelisation could be carried on at that uniform rate — the entire human race would be converted in eleven years and a half. I hold, therefore, that the Millennium is always within measm-able distance ; but the reason why it has not yet dawned is the second reason why missions have not gi-eatly succeeded, and that is the delusion that the evangelisa- tion of the human race can be achieved by proxy and by money. The Roman Catholic delusion was that it could be done by the sword ; the Protestant delusion was that it could be done by the political establish- ment of religion. You and I beUeve neither in the sword nor in the civil governor as the instrument of righteousness and evangelisation. We believe in a free Church in a free State, dependent only and always on the Holy Spirit of God. But, remember, if we have avoided some delusions that have darkened the pages of religious history, Ave have our fatal delusion too, and it takes the form of money, money, money. I say it is impossible to evangelise the human race with money. We have not enough money in the world, and we have not enough proxies to do it. Then how is it to be done ? There is no way out of it ; you must give yourselves. " Put the plate a little lower," said an enthusiastic boy at a missionary meeting once, " and I will step into it myself." Oh ! that is the sort of collection which it would be in order for us to make after the money collection is past and gone. Let us have that as a souuud 94 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. collection to-night. Let some William Carey step into the plate now ; let some young man offer himself ; let some young woman offer herself ; for there is this advantage, we have discovered in these modem days spheres for women in the Christian Church of which our fathers had no conception, and women can now co-operate in every missionary enterprise. What I want is that everybody should go abroad who can be spared at home, and a great many can be spared. Let us have some emigration on the part of Christians animated by the missionary spirit. I greatly long to see a great exodus of able-bodied and wealthy Christians, at their own expense, going all over the world living witnesses for Jesus Christ. We do notVant them here ; they are in the way here. I do pray you, my brethren, when yoii have made enough money to keep yourselves in simplicity and in health, do not retire to the suburbs and build a Gothic villa and cultivate a teimis com-t — retire to Timbuctoo or to Calcutta. For what reason, I should like to know, does God allow some Christians to have enough money to live on in the prime of life ? Not, I am sure, that they should waste their lives in idleness, severely tempted of the devil, but that they may go to the ends of the earth and declare the love of God to all living. And I should like to see them accompanied by all the rich ministers of religion who either have resources of their own or who have married rich women. I say to these dear brethren, " Pack up yom- things and be off as soon as possible. We poor fellows, all who like myself have no money except our stipends, are willing to do the fighting in England. There will be plenty left after you have all gone." I say it with the iitmost seriousness, that we' have too many Christians in this country. I thank God that these Christians who are doing nothing are very unhappy, and suffering from dyspepsia of all sorts — mental, spiritual, and physical. Oh, for a great exodus of those who would go as William Carey went, at theii- own cost, preaching Christ wherever they go ! They seemed to be unwilling to go at Jerusalem, but you remember how they were compelled to go by persecution, and the death of Stephen, and one or two other things. The Lord may yet employ that method here if we m England do not do our duty. In all Scriptural seriousness, in the very presence of Jesus Christ, I say that those who can afford to go all over the earth at their own cost ought to go, and by going they will do a great deal more o-ood than by remaining at home. This island is over-crowded with over-fed saints. I say with the utmost seriousness, " Go away, dear brethren, and the Lord go with you." That is to bo the new missionary departure. We cannot afford, at immense cost, to send forth a sufficient number of brethren to do the work of Christ at the charge of the various missionary societies. If you cannot preach, you can stand on a three- legged stool and say that your sins are forgiven ; and if you have a difi&culty about that, you can at any rate trot round the world and shake THE MEETINrrS AT NOTTINGHAM. 95 hands with every Baptist missionary in every country under heaven. You have no idea what a blessed influence that would exert upon the missionaries, especially if every one of you left a cheque for £100 in the hand of each missionary in shaking hands with him. That would indeed be blessing him in the name of the Lord ! Why, it Avould bo like life from the dead for many a poor man who is toiling amid opposition and every discouragement in a heathen land. The truth is, we want some new Peter the Hermit to preach a new and better crusade. The object of the crusade of which wo read in history was puerile and superstitious enough. It was of no consequence to our blessed Eedeemer that the infidel should possess His reputed tomb ; and yet there was something magnificent in the enthusiasm and in the heroism of those days which led the wealthy, and the princely, and the mighty to leave their homes, and to run gi-eat perils and to fight fiercely to deliver the Holy Sepulchre from the Saracen ! Are we not capable o f equally extraordinary efforts on behalf of Jesus Christ to give Him the victory over the perishing heathen ? Wlien Peter the Hermit preached to great men, and wise men, and wealthy men in Europe, they burst into tears, and they cried out, "Deus vult! " — God wills it ! — and every- thing was sacrificed to the will of God. Surely we will not leave men who lived in the semi-darkness of sviperstitious Christianity to rise up in judgment against us on the Great Day. I say that niany a man now living at home in demoralising luxury should leave all these things and go forth to Asia, and Africa, and America, and proclaim the everlasting- Gospel of Jesus Christ ; and he would do it with the certainty of victory. I believe that the human race to-day is in a position analogous witn that of the old monarchies of Asia when Alexander the Great set out on his career of conquest. Little was known of them. It was a daring enter- prise on his part, but he succeeded without much trouble. All those monarchies were undermined. They were ready to tumble to pieces as soon as somebody had the courage, and the enterprise, and the enthusiasm to march to the attack. I say there is ample evidence that every heathen land is waiting for you to attack. Fetishism is dead, Mohammedanism is dead, Brahminism is dead, Confucianism is dead — all these faiths are dead. Any vitality they once had is gone out of them. Let us go forth in the name of Jesus Christ and conquer them all. There was a thrilling moment in the modem history of Europe when, as you remember, war was proclaimed between France and Germany. Von Moltko had everything ready, and your skilled secretaries would speedily get everything ready if there was some prospect of a great enterprise in connection with our missionary work. Then all over Germany thrilled the words, " Krieg ! Mobil ! "—War ! Mobilise ! and forth throughout that country went the armies of Germany ■yvith many names, under many colours, and in many regiments, but all 06 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. under the imperial flag of their great central unity, and they marched for the Ehine, and they conquered. Surely at this moment the great Captain of us all, Jesus of Nazareth, the glorified Saviour, standing on the right hand of God, is saying to us, " Krieg ! Mobil ! " War ! Mobilise ! Let us go in the common name of Jesus Christ to conquer all the powers of evil, and to inaugurate the dawn of that last great age when righteousness and brotherly love and endless joy will fill the whole earth. After the singing of the hymn, " From all that dwell below the skies, Let the Creator's praise arise," the vast assembly dispersed. THE MEETINGS AT LEICESTER. JUNE 1st, 1892. LEICESTER. DEVOTIONAL MEETING. The celebration of the Centenary in Leicester began on Wednes- day, the following day, with a prayer-meeting at eleven o'clock in Dover Street Chapel, under the presidency of THE REV. SOLOMON S. ALLSOP, who made a few introductory remarks : — May I say a word that is simply personal? I was just in the last year •of my teens when the Jubilee was celebrated, and though I was not present at the Celebration, I was delighted to read the accoimts. Oh, the interest that gathered round those services I I feel it a privilege and an honour to take some humble part in celebrating the Centenary of the Baptist Missionary Society — of the united Baptist Mis.sionary Society. I am an old Jamaica boy. Though I was born in England, my father lived in Jamaica and died there, and I shall always feel a deep and tender interest, not only in the whole of our missionary work, but especially in Orissa, because my earliest associations were with it, and with Jamaica, inasmuch as there my father served the Society and died in harness. I do trust that the recollection of this Centenary wUl be cherished by our young friends, and God grant that many a consecrated soul may live to keep the next Jubilee of the Baptist Missionary Society. At the close of the devotional service, in w^hich the Rev. T. Barrass, W. Viccars, and other brethren took part, THE REV. W. J. HENDERSON, B.A., gave the following address : — • The Book of Acts declares that to the believers living in Antioch " the Holy Spirit said, Separate Me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. Then when they had fasted and prayed and laid 7 100 TIIK CE-NT£NAUY CELEBKATIOX. their hands on tliom they sent them away." Histoiy repeats itself. Change the names, and Luke's report ■^^'ill serve for that sacred day when Carey and Thomas were publicly set apart in this town for foreign service. The Island of Cyprus, the first place visited by the earlj- apostles, was unknown to Paul, but familiar to his companion; and India, the destination of the apostles who revived the enterprise, was a strange land to Cai-ey, whereas Thomas had previously resided there. The utmost solemnity marked the valedictory exercises both in Antiocb and Leicester, as if all who took part realised the momentous character of the proceedings. Outside the ranks of the two churches there were swarms of Christians who looked with dislike upon the conduct of the zealous innovators, while the world at both eras was oblivious for a season of the immense importance of the transaction. Both churches were' ptiined at losing ministrations exceptionally gracioxis and powerful, and yet the sacrifice was heartily made for the world's advantage. The resemblance ht Ids good still fm-ther ; for mark, that while there is the blending of Di^-ine and hiunan action, emphasis is laid upon the authority — not to be disputed— of the Holy Spirit, who points out new work and selects the agents whom Ho has been training during a long course of years. As we look across the himdred yeai*s, we see much that is fitted to arrest reverent attention. Are we not impressed with the thoughtful ness tvhich preceded action T As mighty moimtains are upheaved by forces that gather in secret recesses, and as sap flows within the black branches before the trees clothe themselves in foliage, so years of reading, cogitation, and praVer preceded the outburst of missionary life an(i endeavour. The shoemaker's eye, made keen by redeeming love, had been searching out the dismal places of the earth, and noting cajefully the numbers, the customs, the characters of the dwellers therein. There was deep reflection on the relations existing between God and the unevangelised ; there was eager debating ; there Wf re the pains of travail. The idea of a ministry to the heathen took hold of every bit of Carey's soul, and transformed the aspect of everything in heaven above and earth beneath. It enthi-alled the heart, the conscience, the intellect. It grew and gi-ew in amplitude and intensity. It became more than coimtry, more than home, more than self. It biu-ned with inextinguishable fire. It was no whim ; it was as rational as mathematics, as blissful as love, as stem as fate. It- came of thinking, praying, loving. It came out of the great heart of Christ. This day a century ago was marked by thankfulness and anxious hopefulness. At this moment the preacher of the Xottingham sermon was watching the da^-n for which he had waited with hungry soul during a long night. At length it looked as if something would be done. "What had been denounced as impossible was evidently becoming possible. The seed, THE MEETINGS AT LEICESTER. 101 watered by tears, bad struck root and was pusbing a tbiii green bbide tlirougb tbe bard ground.

Sucli v/as tbe love of God tbat He gave His only begotten Son, v.-bo is tlic! propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for tbe sins of the wbole Avorld.

A whole Gospel sball be proclaimed to tbe wbole world. Kindly symp.'itbies were extended to tbe labours of tbe Moravian brethren, and to tbeii' funds brotherly contributions were sent ; for there was nothing petty or exclusive in tbe founders of the Mission. God made them big. As other organisations were foi-med their aj^pearance elicited warm congratulations, and this friendly spirit was fostered. Robert Hall — who for a score of years was Carey's successor in tbis town — was quick to detect and denounce eveiy sign of imgracious com- IKjtition. "All rivalry," he said, "between different societies for the purpose of promoting missions — all that rivalry whicb has not for its object and design the jiromoting of the cause, the knowledge, the service of God — is offensive in His sight. Let us guard against tbat vicious rivalry which shall induce tbe least dispositicjii to depieciate or hide in silence tbe success of others, which shall lead us to look coldly s mandate, for he was accompanied to India by the patriai'chs, prophets, and apostles. The vessel might have been wrecked, but Christ counted it as precious as the Galilean boat manned by the disciples. The landing of the missionaries in India Avas the landing of Hebrew and Christian wealth. The movement of one tiny wheel is often necessaiy to the efficiency of a complicated machine. A century ago the mighty prophets of the old dispensation and the evangelists of the new could not speak to the majority of the human race, and, being silent, it was as though they were non-existent ; but modern missions have taught them how to utter their awful and tender messages in tongues which they had never heard, and have given them audiences greatly multiijliod : "I saw an angel flying in mid-heaven, having the everlasting Gospel to preach . . . to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people." Isaiah's voice is heard aU over the wide earth, Paul preaches in every language, and John tells of Jesus to nations of whose existence he v.'as imaware. How clear it becomes that the doing of our part opens doors through which great forces and persons may pass to bless mankind "with healing ministries ! Raised up to communion with noble minds, it behoves us to rise higher still and to receive power from the Highest Himself. Grate- fully we drink of the pitchers lifted to our parched lips by the hands of our great brothers, and so we should get strength to go to the very fountains whence they di-ew the crystal waters. Have we dwelt in the dark caverns of sloth and self-indulgence r The lamps that flash to-daj' suflice to show the road out into the sunshine and pure air of faith and zeal and loving sei-vice for mankind. It was the Holy Spirit who gave our leaders their coiurage and daring, their inextinguishable pity, their patient continuance in well-doing, their sagacious statesmanship, their steadiness imder the fire of relentless foes who assailed them with every sort of nussile as they rushed forward to break the chains of nations. That Spirit is with us still, converting, regenerating, creating large purposes, and briuging them to glorious issues. That confidence is a principal part of our inheritance. We have a goodly heritage. We have the inspiration of a splendid example, an unfinished task upon which has been expended priceless treasures, an assm-ance (or at least a hint) that there may be amongst us persons prepared by God for deeds which the world will not willingly let die, an impetus which should cairy us forward to the performance of greater tasks, a responsibility to reap larger harvests from larger fields, an obligation to make the second century more memorable than the first by its gifts and successes. Darkness still covers the nations, though, perhaps, the day is nigh at hand. God's purposes 104 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. are unchangeable. He leaves not Himself witliout a witness. The star we call Carey shone almost alone. It can never set. But orb after orb has been hung aloft to bear it company, so that now there are shining constellations biu-ning with fires perpetually replenished from God, the miseen soiu-ce of mercy and might. More and more thickly shall the hosts of light stud the sky imtil the Sun of Eighteousness shall come and all the shadows shall flee away. " They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the fii-mament, and they that tiuii many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever." The'proceedings were closed by singing and the Benediction. THE ilEETINGS AT LEICESTER. lOf SERMON IN HARVEY LANE CHAPEL. Preacher : THE REV. ARTHUR T. PIERSOX, D.D. As in the case of Dr. Clifford on the previous day in Xottingham, the preacher selected as his text the Scripture from which William Carey discoursed on the memorable occasion when the resolution was passed to form the Missionary Society — viz., Isaiah hv. 2, 3. When, a hundred years ago, it pleased God to wake from sleep a lethargic Church, in the belfry of the ages there rang out a signal sound, and William Carey's hand was on the bell-rope. And these are the words which echoed over the Church of Jesus Christ : ' ' Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations : spare not ; lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes ; for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left ; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited." Those words have more than once rung out on this Centenarj^ and they will more than once ring out again. ! But God's bell is not cracked yet, and it may be well for us, as the hundred years have brought the hands roimd on the dial to the even hour of the century, that we should humbly and reverently take hold of the same bell-rope, and peal out from the same signal bell the same impressive tones : "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the cirrtains of thine habitations ! " for this is the most remarkable missionary text in the Old Testament. It is easy to vindicate this decision, to which I have come, after many years of careful study both of missions and of the Word of God. In the first place, the position of this text in this prophecy of Isaiah is peculiar and unique. The last twenty-seven chapters of this prophecy, from the fortieth to the sixty-sixth inclusive, contain the most remarkable Messianic poem to be found in the pages of the Old Testament; ^nd it is quite noticeable that the very book that modem critics are seeking to piJl to pieces should contain the sublimest and completest of all Old Testament predictions about the Messiah. These twenty-seven chapters are, in the original Hebrew, divided into three books, each of which includes nine chapters, as the chapter divisions rim in our 106 THE CENTENAEY CELEBRATIOISr. version, each book signalising its conclusion by a certain refrain : "There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked"; "There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked " ; and the last book, concluding* with the same sentiment, couched in more impressive phraseology : "Their worm shall not die and their fire shall not be quenched"; " There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked." In the exact centre of the middle book of the three comes the fifty-third chapter, occupying thus the precise centre of the entii-e Messianic poem. That chapter contains twelve verses and foui-teen distinct declarations, of the doctrine of vicarious sacrifice. It is like a great radiant ruby set in the front of a coronet, with many jewels round! about it, but obviously the central gem of them all, and its colour is blood-red. It is a remarkable chapter, so mysterious that even the Jewish Eabbis could make nothing of it, unless they understood it to prophesy two contradictory Messiahs — one a Messiah of conflict, and the other a Messiah of conquest ; one a suffer- ing and vicarious Messiah, the other a triumphant and reigning Messiah. For this chapter opens with the servant of God standing alone. His reports unbelieved, and "the arm of the Lord unrevealed " to an un- believing people ; " despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrov^'s, and acquainted v,dth grief " ; persecuted, oppressed, taken from judgment to prison, and from prison to slaughter; dying a young man without natural generation, which every Jew thought to be a calamity ; and yet, as we come to the conclusion of this chapter, we find that this Messiah, who suffered and died for human sin, nevertheless lived and prolonged His days to all generations ; that this childless young man is the parent of a numerous offspring, and sees of the travail of His soul, and is satisfied. And that is the reason Avhy, in the fifty-fourth chapter, we find the sentiment so marvellously changed, and Vfhy the singular term " My sei-vant " is now no longer found, but in its stead "My servants," Christ now standing as head of a host of " servants of the Lord." It reminds us of Euth, the v/idow, bankrupt daughter of Moab, coming- into the land of Judah, and becoming the v>^ife of Boaz, the lord of the hai-vest, the dispenser of bread, and so becoming the cheerful mother of childi'en in the ancestral line of the Messiah ; and, therefore, the fifty- fourth chapter breaks out, ' ' Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail v/ith child : for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord." You see this precious, vicarious Saviour who died without natural offspring, lived, notwithstanding death, and is the parent of an innumerable seed, notwithstanding His physical barrenness ; and the Church that is His bride, entering into nuptial relations with Him, becomes the joyful mother of an immortal race. So we are pre- pared to understand the meaning of this text — " Enlarge the place of THE MEETINGS AT LEICESTEE. 107 thy tent, and let them stretch forth the cui-tains of thine habitations." For this is confoi-mable to the customs of nomadic tribes in Oriental lands. The tent is the simi)lest and most larimitive form of human habitation. Wherever a pole can be found, wdth cords or strii)S of leather, a little bark or cloth or canvas or skin, a tent can be set up — as easUy sti-uck as jjitched, and almost as easily enlarged ; for when the growing necessities of a family demand larger shelter and room, all you have to do is to get a little longer pole, a little thicker cords, a little more bark or skin or canvas, and you can stretch forth the curtains of yoiu- habitation to accommodate the needs of the grov/ing family. And so this enlargement of the tent is made the type of the enlargement of the canopy of the Chm-ch over her grovring family of children. " Thou shalt bui-st forth " — as the grand old Hebrev/ reads — " Thou shalt bui-st forth on the right hand and on the left." There is to be a symmetrical gi'OA^i:h in this direction and that dii-ection alike ; not a one-sided tent, like a family that has a one-sided development — the Church is going to gather her childi-en from east and west and north and south, and every clime and every tongue and every people ; and because her family is to come from all quarters of the earth, her canopy must stretch to every quarter of the earth to cover her increasing family. If a man ever came near being inspired — I never use the word "inspii-ed" except in one peculiar sense — but if a man ever came near being inspired, it was William Carey when he was divinely guided to this very text, from v.diich to preach that veiy sermon that was the foundation of modern missions ; and we could not in the Word of God find another text more approj)riate to the 1st of June, 1892, than it was to the 31st of May, 1792. I am not ashamed to repeat a good thing : Sydney Smith said that for the purpose of public persuasion in oratory, repetition is the only figure of speech that is worth a farthing. Thank God, we can always use, and all of us may use, that figure of speech I so I take this text, for it is the only text to take : " Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the cui'tains of thine habitations." Let me call your attention first very briefly and simply to the text itself. I would like to have you notice the grammatical and rhetoiical structure of it, for all these things help exegesis and exposition. It is formed on the pnnciple of the Hebrew parallelism. The Hebrew poets, instead of seeking rhyme and rhythm in Avords, sought rhyme and rhythm in thought, and that is one of the marks of the inspiration of the Word of God. For, if the poetry of the Hebrew depended upon words, their peculiar collocation and allocation, and rhyme and rhythm, we could not convey into another language, without much circumlocution, the beauty of the Hebrew original. But when the rhyme and rhythm are in the thoughts and not in the hmguage, they can be transferred into any other tongue. Now, looking at this as an 108 THE CEXTENARY CELEBRATION. example, you Avill find that of this little idyll or epic on missions which rims from the first to the eighth verses inclusive, the portion we are now to consider contains several couplets or portions consisting of two members each, and yet arranged in parallels as well. Notice this in the reading. There is first a double exhortation : ' ' Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the cuiiains of thine habitations." Then there comes a single phrase — "Spare not" — that has its correlative phi'ase fui'ther on — "Fear not" — in the beginning of the fourth verse. We shall see the relation of these as we go on. Then there comes a double injunction, showing the means by which the Chiu-ch is to enlarge her tents and stretch forth her curtains : "Lengthen thy cords and strengthen thy stakes." Then there comes another couplet, the couplet of Divine promise : ' ' For thou shalt burst forth on the right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited." I think no man is competent thoroughly to expound Scriptiu'e that does not study its exact structiu'e. There is a reason why such a poetic, parallel sti-uctiu-e is evolved in the very form of the text itself. God is showing us here irhat the duty of the Church is — to enlarge her canopy and stretch forth her curtains. He is showing the Church how to do this dutij — there are to be lengthened cords and strengthened stakes ; and He is showing the Church what her great peril is, that in the first place she shall "spare" — the Hebrew word means "grudge" — that is to say, that she shall be selfish and so gi-udging; and the other difficulty and danger is that she shall " fear," and this stiikes at the timidity of unbelief as the other strikes at the naiTowness of selfishness. And then He gives her this glorious promise to encourage her : " Thoii shalt burst forth on the right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles " — this was spoken to Jewish hearers who had no idea of the salvation of the Gentiles; "and thou shalt cause the desolate cities to be inhabited" — habitation in place of desolation ! Perhaps I have been somewhat tedious in bringing out the meaning, but the fact is, I have great confidence in God's thoughts and I have no confidence in my own. And now, to plunge dii-ectly into the heart of the theme, the whole text is vocal with enlargement, expansion: — "Enlarge," "Let them stretch forth," "Lengthen," "Strengthen." You can easily see where WilHam Carey got his famous motto : " Attempt great things for God I " "Enlarge," "stretch out," "lengthen," "strengthen": — "Expect great things from God! " "Thou shalt biu'st forth on the right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and cause the desolate cities to be inhabited." Carey may have been a genius, but it did not take a genius to get that motto out of the text, for it lies on the sin-faco of it, though it may have taken some geniiis to frame it in such THE MEETINGS AT LEICESTER. 109 excellent and easily understood English, and in a proverbial form that could easily be carried in the memory, and could not easily be dismissed from the memory. What is the duty of the Church in these days? " Lengthen " and " strengthen." See how well the Holy Ghost chooses these words, "lengthen," "strengthen." The word "lengthen" suggests extensity; the word "strengthen" suggests intensity ; and there is always danger in extensive movement that is not accompanied by intensive movement. Length is often at expense of strength. You are lengthening youi- cords, but if you do not strengthen yom- stakes what will happen ? Your lengthening your cords will be a disaster to you and the tent itself. How simple is the figure which the Holy Ghost uses to instruct us I How shall we lengthen cords ? By pushing out oui" organisations in every direction — stretching a cord here to Eiu'ope, another cord to Asia, another to Africa, and another to the islands of the sea. Towards the North Pole and the South Pole ; in every direction, from the great centimes of Christendom, let our missionary organisations reach ! With the enterprise that has dash and push in it let these coi'ds be caiiied to the ends of the earth, until the network of missions over- spreads the whole family of man ! And, my brethren and sisters, if we are going to have this lengthened cord you must add your ovm length to it. As, when a man is rescued from a bmTiing building, and the ladder will not reach those that are in. peril, the fii-eman stands on the top rang of the ladder and adds his own length, over which men and women climb down into safety ; so if you are going to have these organisations reach over the world in a spirit of hallowed enterprise till the canopy is co-extensive with the family of man, your length must be added to the cord. You have read of the self-sacrifice of the Carthaginian maidens when they cut off their raven ringlets that they might be braided into bow-strings for Hannibal's archers ; or of the Tyrian maidens when they sacrificed their golden hair for cordage for the Tyiian navy. I tell you, my friends, that the cords of enterprise by which this Gospel is to be earned to the ends of the earth are woven out of the very fibres of human hearts ! You cannot make them with money, and you cannot weave them with the shuttle of commerce, and you cannot braid them out of the fibres of public enthusiasm. They are woven on the loom of personal consecration in the secret place with God, We must not only have lengthened cords, but strengthened stakes. If there is one weak stake on the circumference of a tent, and it is pulled out or broken, this puts a greater stress on the other tent pegs round it, and one by one they are loosened or pulled out, until the whole tent collapses. What does that mean ? It means that any church on the circumference of Christian effort that does not plant itself firmly to hold up the cord of organisation is responsible for the collapse of Christian missions. And it means that any man or woman or chiM, among God's 110 THE CENTENARY CELEBBATION. professed believing childi-en, that does not become a stake down deep into the ground, and holding on, is responsible for any disaster that oomes to the whole work of Christ by lack of personal co-operation. Until we get that truth down into our hearts, until we get it inscribed there as with a pen of iron and the point of a diamond, I have personally little hope for any great enlargement in the work of missions. Now the question comes, ^How are you going to strengthen the stakes ? The iirst way of strengthening the stakes is by increased faith in Almighty God. This is His work ; it is only my work because it is His work. I never wovild have touched it, if in every fibre of my being I had not been convinced that it was God's work ; and because I am a co-worker with God I am boimd to workwhen and where I know He works. You must have faith in this, that it is God's work. If you hang your faith on the super- ficial judgment of critics whose ignorance is very extensive, but whose knowledge is very limited, you veiy likely vfill be discouraged. If you hang your faith on what your neighbours do for missions, you very likely will do little more than they, while, perhaps, they are doing very much less than they ought. If you hang your faith even on missionary boards, the best of them, they are all composed of fallible men. But if you believe this work is God's work, and that God is behind it and before it and round about it ; and that the man who goes forth to ' ' preach the Gospel to every creature " is buttressing his v/ork by that glorious declaration that comes before the command, ' ' All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth," and by that other promise that comes after it, " Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the age " — a man that goes forth in that sj)irit, or, being compelled to stay at home, nomishes the missionary cause in that spirit, is v/orking with God. I do not care where he is, he may be dovvTi on his back, a bedridden cripple, but he is v/orking with God. If he cannot do anything more, he can believe in the work, and believe in the God that carries on the v/ork. And he can add that second element in the strengthening of the stakes, the power of hcJicvhuj prayer. My brethren, if this were to be the last sermon I was ever to preach, I would ask God to give me this privilege, that I might stir up this missionary congregation to-day to determine that, whaterer else is done, there shall be for the next hundred years, as far as v/e can control it, an entirely new baptism of prayer. There has not been a crisis in the missionary world that has not been turned in answer to supplication. In 1858 God opened the doors to half the human race in ansv/er to prayer ; again, in 1878, when the prayers of some of God's saints were turned to increased sanctified giving, there were less than twenty people who, in their united gifts, gave nearly one million sterling for foreign missions. "When the Church of God began to pray for more labourers, there came a knock from more than six thousand young men and v/omen in America and England at the doors of the churches and of our boards, saying: "By THE MEETINGS AT LEICESTER. HI the grace of God we will go forth to the foreign field." Wlien I was speaking on missions in Scotland two years ago, the secretaries begged lue not to appeal for labourers, for they said : " We have a great many more people applying than we can possibly send with the means at oui disposal." Eveiy gi-eat crisis in the missionary field has been turned in answer to prayer, and yet the Chui-ch has not begun to know what power there is in prayer, in waiting on Almighty God for a blessing. Eead the second Psalm. It is not a prophecy of missionary triumph, although it is often quoted as one. " Ask of Me and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession." Yes, but read the next verse: "Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron ; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel." It is a promise and a prophecy that when the kings of the earth conspire against the missionary band, and against the Messiah that leads themi He, the King on His throne, will, in the emergencies and exigencies of such conflict, reach out His rod, not the golden end of grace, but the iron end of power, "and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel." And, as in the missionary world revivals have come in answer to prayer, on the other hand the interpositions of God have come in the destruction of His enemies and the defeat of their conspiracies and the ove'rturninf of their hostile councils ; and not until the Church believes that God is the Answerer of prayer, and that He will interpose by His providence and by His gi-ace, will the Church ever be a triumj)hant and conquering missionary Church. A beloved Japanese convert and trainer of native teachers, Mr. Neesima, said, with his dying breath, "Advance on your knees." That is the only way to advance in missions. And then I believe the third element by which the stakes are strength- ened is a firm covfidence in this Gospel as the Gospel of Christ, that this "Word is the Word of God ; that it is emi3hatically the Word of God, the only inspired and infallible Word of God; that, therefore, when I go forth and carry this Word of God, I have all the energies of the Godhead represented in the message that I am called to deliver. Another way of strengthening the stakes — for I have time only to o-ive an outline— is sanctified giving. We have never had consecrated giving yet in the Church of God, except on the part of a few individuals. I do not hesitate to say this, and I hope that my words may echo round the Church, if not roimd the world — there has never been in this last century of missions, as a general habit, consecrated giving. The idea of forty millions of Protestant Church members scattered throughout the world, with £8,000,000,000 sterling in the coffers of Ani(>rican and Bi-itish Christians alone, giving annually £2,500,000 sterling to carry the Gospel to 1,000 millions I It is an utter absurdity. Why, my friends, more money is spent in drink in Great Britain in one day than has been spent in Chinese missions in five years. We must have a band 112 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. of Christian givers in the Church of God. If we cannot have the whole Chiu'ch, we must have a band of Christians that dare to deny them- selves for the sake of Jesus Christ, and press their giving to the point of self-denial, which is the only point at which real self-gratification comes in the disposal of our goods. Zacchseus on the day of his conversion, in the first place, restored foiu-fold to all he had wronged, and, in the second place, he gave half of his goods to feed the poor ; and remember that the other half he had already reserved for restitution. If we could only have such a sjiirit as the spirit of Zacchasus in the churches, so that the day a man is converted he should restore to every man that he had wrongfully accused or robbed, or in any way oppressed, and then beside give one-half of what he originally had to feed the poor and can-y on the Kingdom of God, with what mighty strides v/ould the Kingdom advance ! We must strengthen the stakes by holy living. There is nothing, after all, like Italy living. When the Pharisees and Scribes saw the man healed, they could say nothing against it ; they might scourge the Apostles and cast them into prison, and forbid them to speak in the name of Christ, but the sight of that man healed was an argument that could not be overborne by logic or opposition. And whenever you see a man or woman that is absolutely Hving to God, and has the radiance of God in the face and character, you have a walking argument for Christianity that is worth all the apologetics in the world. Stanley says that he owes to the months he spent with Livingstone the transformation of his character ; and yet Livingstone never said a word to him directly about his soul's salvation. He lived out his remonstrance against iniquity, and he lived out his appeal for God. That is what we have need of — consecration through and through ; consecration that touches our children, oiu- property, our occupation, om- influence, our time, our talents, our treasure. That is the way to strengthen the stakes. Brother Baynes, would not you like to see the stakes strengthened in that fashion while you are trying to lengthen the cords ? I want you to notice that we of to-day may tm-n this text round. We have a different i)oint of view from Carey's. Carey looked forward to a missionaiy conquest that had not begun; we look back to a missionary conquest that has been partially accomplished. He could only expect great things from God in the line of missions ; we can look back and behold great things, and let what we have seen behind us be the prophecy of what we shall see before us. Have you studied the history of missions ? It is an encyclopsedia in itself. You had better begin soon, or you will scarcely go through the first chapter before you die. I have been studying it for thii-ty years, and I have not got beyond the middle of the second chapter. Why I these triumphs of missions are perfectly marvellous v/hen Y,^e consider how few people have been engaged, and hov>^ little money has been spent. THE MEETINGS AT LEICESTER. 1!3 Crod has done exceeding- abundantly above all that the Chiu'ch has asked or even thought. A hundred years ago there were fifty versions of the Holy Scripture ; nov,- there are betv/een tvv'o and three hundred, and in all the great languages of the world. A hundred years ag-o a Httle band of Christian laboui-ers essayed to reach a few of the; heathen in the South Seas ; now there arc between six and seven thousand men and women, representing the Christian Church ; and, what is far more remarkable, 35,000 to 40,000 native converts raised uj) by missions, consecrating their time and their talent to the reclamation and evangelisation of their own countrymen. So that the very missions that seme people call a " failui-e " have actually multiplied the labourers on heathen sod, until tliey repre^ient six times as many as the whole Church of Christ sends ovit to evangelise the world I Have you noticed what missionaries have done in different localities ? Look at just a few specimens of vrhat the hundi'ed years have accom- plished. Take the ninety-five years of missionary history from 1797 to 1892 in the South Seas. Fourteen years without a convert I Then two natives in Tahiti, that had been impressed in a missionary's family during the absence of all the missionaries from the island, were found jjraying for the evangelisation of their own countrymen. Those tv.-o converts of 1811 were leaders of a host now numbering 8jO,000 converts, and Western Polynesia is evangelised. Take seventy-fivo years of the Ameiican Baptist Union. 'Wlien Judson went to Burmah he was the sole representative of the Baptist Union, and Burmah was the sole field of labour- ; and he vv^orked for ten years and had nothing to show for all his work but one church of eighteen conveits. They wrote to him from America: "Well, Judson, how about prospects r " *^ Prospects I all right," said he, "bright as the promises of God." And now, looking back over those seventy-five years, v.-hat do you find y Taking into account those first ten years of comparative failure, there has been established a new Baptist church for every three v^-eeks of the entii'e time, day and night ; and there has been a nev,- convert baptized for every three hours of the entii-e time, day and night. My friends, woidd not you like to see a little of a similar "failure" here in Great Britain '1 Suppose avc look at what fifty years have accom- plished in various fields. Take fifty years in Turkej', for instance. The result of those fifty years v>-as twenty-one versions of the Bible in the languages of living peoples. And among other great achieve- ments Charles Wheeler dotted the Euphrates with actually self- supporting chiu'ches ; and how many peojile do you think it took to constitute a self-supporting church ? Ten ! Can you show anything like that in Great Britain ^ These ton disciples said, " Wc; will each give one-tenth of our income, and wo will call a pastor to serve us 114 THE CENTENAKY CELEBRATION. who is willing to live on a level with us, and he will have his ten-tenths, with one-tenth to give away like the rest of us." So they began self-supporting churches with only ten members. Dr, Bamum, of Harpoot, told me that in fourteen years they had estabhshed fourteen preaching stations and raised up a native nunistry, and the entire cost of the fourteen years scarcely equalled the cost of the church edifice that I then preached in. That was worth about £40,000, so that you know what that Mission cost. Then, look at fifty years among the Karens. In 1828 the first Karen convert was baptized. In 1878 the jubilee was kept by the erection of the Kho- Thah-Byu Memorial Hall, with its central audience room, and its various rooms opening out for teaching and kindred purposes — 60,000 Karens, either sleeping in Jesus or Hving to testify of Jesus, as the fruit of those fifty years. Sir Charles Bernard says there are to-day 200,000 Karens in the Christian community, and 500 self-supporting churches. Take the fifty years in China between 1842 and 1892. A little band of a few converts in 1842 when missionary labours properly began; and in 1892 nearly 50,000 converts in China, and the ratio of increase duiing the twenty-five years beginning with 1863 was eighteen-fold — mark it! 1,800 per cent.! Take the fifty years in Fiji from 1835 to 1885. When one of our missionaries, James Calvert, went to the Fiji Islands his first duty was to bury the skulls, hands, and feet of eighty different people who had been sacrificed at a cannibal feast. He lived to see the very people who had taken part ia that atrocity gather about the Lord's table celebrating His death. In 1885 there were 1,300 churches in the Fiji group alone, and out of a population of 110,000, 104,000 were habitual attendants at places of worship. Suppose we narrow down the period of time. Take the twenty-foui- years of Dr. Geddie in Aneityum from 1848 to 1872. It is recorded on a tablet in the Memorial Chapel there : ' ' When he landed here in 1848 there were no Christians; when he left in 1872 there were no heathens." Take the twenty-two years of John Williams from 1817 to 1839, when he fell as a martyr at Erromanga. He wrote, in 1834, five years before his death, that the Gospel had been earned over a radius of 2,000 miles in every direction from the Island of Tahiti, and not only had every considerable group of islands been evangelised, but every considerable island in the groups had tm-ned from idols and brought them to the missionaries, while the balustrades of pulpits were composed of the spears that had been used in theii* former warfare, and Oro, the gi'eat war god, was used as a wooden prop to sustain the roofs of the out-houses. I have been shoriening the periods that you might see what great things God has done, even in very brief space of time. Take fourteen years among the Telegus, from 1878 to 1892, and I reverently say there was THE jyiEETINGS AT LEICESTEE. 115 nothing in the original Pentecostal days to exceed what fourteen years have seen among the Telegus. In one day in 1878 there were 2,222 baptized. In six weeks there were 5,000 baptized, and in ten months 10,000, and in the last ciUTent year nearly 10,000 more. The largest church on earth to-day is not the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London ; it is the humble church in Ongole, amongst the Telegus, for that has between 30,000 and 40,000 members, and yet missions are a failure ! Go and read the story of those seven years of William A. B. Johnson in Sierra Leone, among the thirty-seven tribes of slaves in that colony, rescued from slave-ships. See him labouring there to preach the Gospel among those people that had no language or communication with each other, unless it was a little bastard English ; living in promiscuous concubinage ; warring on each other ; committing every ci'ime ; having no respectable trade. Johnson died in seven years, but left a model State, with no remains of heathen orgies, wdtli every trade and respectable calling lepresented ; just as William Duncan, among the North American Indians, established his . model State Metlakahtla, and one of your most accomplished statesmen, a Governor-General of Canada, the master of eight different languages, went over there, and said he could not find any terms in any language he knew to describe the greatness and glory of the Gospel among that people. You may come down to shorter periods even than these. You may find, as already said, within one single year of the history of missions triumphs that equal, if they do not transcend, the triumijhs of the Day of Pentecost and the days immediately succeeding. Oh, for a believing Church I Oh, for a Church that knows the facts, and is inspired by the knowledge of them I As I di-aw this discom-se to a close, I desire only to add that there are two little sentences in this impressive text that ought to fm-nish the motto of the new century. Carey did not emphasise them, but I want to emphasise them: " Gi-udge not," " Fear not." The two obstacles to the missionary progress and triumph of the Chiu'ch to-day — I appeal to you that know most about it — are they not these ? — a spirit of unbelief on the one hand, that fears to do great things for God; and a spirit of selfishness on the other hand, that makes it impossible to do great things for God. If God would cast out from us this day the demon of imbehef and the demon of selfishness, and all the other little demons that are then- offspring, and like to inliabit the same house with them, v,'hat great and mighty things might be done for God I I proclaim my confidence that this Gospel is a supematm-al Gosi^el, and, therefore, it must have a supematural Spirit, for conversion is a sujjcrnatural work. Conversion is not reformation. The Word of God is not insjjired only as Milton v/as inspired, or as other men were inspii-ed, or their Aviitings. Tlw Holy 116 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION". Ghost is not a mere influence, but a person, and when you Avill give us this supernatural Gosj)el enforced by this supematiu-al Spiiit, you will hare the supernatui-al work of conversion. And we have need to have confidence in God, and so cast out luibelief . This world must be reached by the Gospel. Is not God mightier than man ? Is not the Word of God stronger than the superstition of man? If God could make the woman bovred with infirmity stand straight, and restore the maimed limb, cannot He restore even a v/ithered soul ; cannot He give back lost f acalties where there is a moral and spuitual atrophy ; cannot He give the roundness and symmetry of health, and even life from the dead ? Faith must dare to do great things for God, and look for supernatm-al interposition. We are to bring the five loaves and two fishes first of all to a supernatural Saviour, and ask Him by a supematui-al blessing super- naturally to inci'ease them. Then we shall take up our twelve basketfuls of fragments after all have been satisfied. Oh, would to God we could understand this ! If God is with a man He can put a thousand to flight, and two men can put ten thousand to flight ; but if God withdi-aws Himself from the Chui-ch, that shall be reversed, and one infernal foe shall put a thousand disciples to flight, and two shall put ten thousand to flight. I thank God for one sweet experience that has made the last iew years radiant in my own life. I never knew what it was to cast myself absolutely on God until perhaps the last thi-ee years, and I never knew what a God I had until I did it. Let the Church come right up to this point, that Avithout taking counsel with men, of diSiculties and obstacles and embarrassments, she just casts herself with Divine abandon- ra.ent on her God and says, " This is God's work, and God's power and grace are behind it, and God's commission and commands are in it, and thei'cfore Vv'e wUl undertake this work to give the Gospel to the entii'o human race, looking to God for men, and for means," and the Church will do the work, and she will do it possibly before this century closes. And then as to selfishness. That is the root of all sin. Did you ever tliink of the danger there is in simple indulgence ; that there is risk in saying to myself, ' ' I want this gratification, and therefore I Vvdll have it " ? Very bad spuitual logic, by the v/ay ! Did you ever read that singidar story upon which Balzac has founded one of his tales, that story of the magic skin that invested its Vv^earer with a certain power to obtain v.'hatever he wished, but which, with every new gratification, shi'ank in dimensions until by-and-by it crushed him to death ? That magic skin is selfishness. You get yoiu- Vv^ealth, but you shrivel ; you gratify your desii'es, but there is an atrophy takes place in your moral and spiritual faculties. Your eye gets blind to the vision of anything beyond your material interests, and your hand gets paralysed as to reaching out blessings to otlier souls, and your heart gets too narrow to syiiip^thise or understand or love. What selfisliness is in the Church of THE MEETINGS AT LEICESTER. 117 God I Just tliiiik of our houses and lands and equipages, our libraries and works of ai-t, oiu- personal decorations, our ornaments and jewellery, the furniture and the garniture of our homes, and then think that one thousand millions of the human race are yet without even the knowledge of God, and there are eight hundred and fiftj" millions that never heard that Jesus Christ died for men I ' ' He that saveth his life shall lose it ; and he that loseth his life for My sake and the Gospel's, the same shall save it." And so, once more, with reverent hand, I seize the bell-rope and peal out from God's belfry: "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the cm-tains of thine habitations ; fear not, spare not, lengthen thy cords, strengthen thy stakes ; for thou shalt bm-st on the right hand and on the left hand, and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited." Knowing the seasonable time, that it is now high time, the very hour, when we should awake out of sleep, for the end of the world is dra-VN-ing nigh, " and now is our salvation nearer to us than when we first believed," let us, as one man, covenant with Almighty God that from henceforth all we are, and all we have, and all we represent, shall be consecrated to the glory of this Gospel and the salvation of the lost ! 118 THE CEKTENARY CELEBRATION. THE MEETING IN BELVOIR STREET CHAPEL. Prayer having been offered by the Eev. J. Jenkyn Brown, of Bh-mingham, Mr. A. H. Baynes thanked the friends at Leicester for their hospitality in the following terms : — I wish to take this oiiportunity, on behalf of the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society, to express onr very earnest and hearty thanks -to the friends in Leicester for their generous kindness and hospitality. To the Local Centenary Leicester Committee and its officei-s we feel that we owe a debt of deep gratitude, especially to the hon. secretaries, Mr. Greenhough and Mr. Julian. This good towTi of Leicester is associated with the Baptist Missionary Society by hallowed memories of inspiring associations, and we are thankful to know that the splendid traditions of the past are so generously upheld to-day, and we believe that we have the truest sympathy and the most generous support of all the churches in this town. I shoiild like to express our great regret at the absence from our gatherings of the honoured and beloved pastor of this chui-ch, and especially for the cause of that absence. "We symjiathise deeply with the members of this church. We are thankful to know that good tidings, however, have been received from Mr. Thew, and we earnestly pray that very speedily he may be restored to perfect health, and resume the ministry which is so valued by this -church and congregation. The Chairman, MR. B. C. WATES, a deacon of the Belvoir Street Church, then spoke as under : — "We meet to-day, my dear friends, to take part in a celebration which is certainly imique in the annals of modern missions, and, I think, unique also in the history of the Church itself. "We are in the position of men who stand upon the banks of a mighty river, and as we watch its stream flowing onwards, bearing the priceless blessings of civilisa- tion, of liberty, and of religion to the various regions of the earth, v.^e rejoice and are thankful at what we see. But we are also permitted to climb the summit of some near hill and look back to the tiny rivulet from which HOUSE \\'HERE CAREY LIVED IN LEICESTER. THE MEETINGS AT LEICESTER. 119 this stream lias flowed, and as we look on this picture and ou that, we bow our heads in humble acknowledgment to Him from whom all good things flow, and who has in the history of the last one himdred years ex- ceeded the largest expectations of those who have laboured in this cause. The incidents of the early life of Carey in Leicester are so well known that it seems at first hardly possible to throw any new light upon them. There are, however, a few facts connected with that history, especially in its relation to this church, to which I will ask your attention. From the tablet on the left you will see that it was in the year 1789 that William Carey became the pastor of this church — I would rather say that he came to Leicester ; it was something like one and a half years after that period that he became the pastor of the chui-ch. It will help me to put this matter before you in the plainest possible way if I read to you a few extracts from the old church-book relating to this particular period. The first of these informs us that "on Tuesday, May 22nd, 1791, our brother William Carey was solemnly ordained to the pastoral office over this chui'ch. Mr. Hopper, of Nottingham, proposed the questions to the people and minister, Mr. SutclifP, of Olney, preached to the minister, and Mr. Fuller, of Kettering, to the people, and Mr. Eyland, of Northamp- ton, prayed the ordination prayer." This extract is of special interest, because we have here, grouped together, the names of several of the founders of our Society. The second extract is dated (1792-3) : — " Sept., Oct., Nov., Dec, Jan. — No business of importance, except that in January our pastor gave us notice that he should leave us in March, having engaged to go on a mission to Bengali, in the East Indies." We are struck in reading this by the somewhat casual way in which the notice given by Carey is mentioned. In the church-book the original entry was simply the words " no business of importance," the allusion to Carey's intended mission being added afterwards. The next extract is one which has frequently been quoted. It is dated " March 24, 1793. — • Hev. Mr. Carey, our minister, left Leicester to go on a mission to the East Indies, in order to take the Gospel amongst the poor heathen. This is inserted to show the love he had to the souls of his feUow- creatures." In September, 1793— a year and a half later — a new church- book was commenced, and a number of the entries in the old book were transcribed by Mr. Cave, who had now become the pastor. Apparently dissatisfied Avith the meagi-eness of the record of Carey's departure on his memorable errand, he expanded it, so that it now reads thus : — •"March, 24, 1793. — Mr. Carey, our minister, left Leicester to go on a mission to the East Indies to take and propagate the Gospel among those idolatrous and superstitious heathens. This is inserted to sliow his love to his poor, miserable fellow-creatures ; in this Ave concurred with him, thoixgh it is at the expense of losing one whom we love as om'own souls." The last extract I shall give is dated five years later : — " 1798. — March 18. 120 THE CENTENARY CELEBBATION. Chui-cli meeting. By a letter from Mr. "Wm. Carey (our former worthy pastor, and. whom we resigned to the mission in Hindostan in Asia), we were informed that a small chm-ch was formed at Mudnabatty ; and he wished a dismission from us to it, that he might become a member, and have also an opiDortunity of becoming its pastor. We therefore agreed, not only to send his dismission, but also to insei-t it at large in our church-book, to presei-ve to posterity the memory of an event, so pleasing and important, the planting of a gospel church in Asia. ' The Church of Christ meeting in Harvey Lane, Leicester, England, in Europe, to the Church of Christ of the same faith and order, meeting in Mudnabatty, Hindostan, in Asia, sendeth Chi-istian salutation: Dear Beethren — As our brother, Wm. Carey, formerly our beloved pastor, requests a dismission from us to you as a member, we comply. We earnestly desire that he may be very useful among you both as a member and a minister. Though few in number, may you be as a handful of genuine corn in Hindostan, which may fill all Asia with evangelical fruit. The Lord has already done great things for you, whereof you have cause to be glad. We hope ye will make it your great concern to prize and conform to the glorious Gospel, and its holy institutions. That ye may be filled with spiritual light, and life, and joy, and abound in the practice of all the fruits of righteousness, is the ardent prayer of your affectionate brethren in Jesus Christ. — Signed at our Church meeting, March 18, 1798, in behalf of the whole, by Bexjami]!^- Cave, Pastor ; Francis Pick, John Purser, John Yates, Deacons ; Samuel Hull, JosiAii GiMsox, Peter Bedells, John Johnson, Henry Banks, Joseph Perry, Samuel Harris, Edavard Payne, Members.' " I have been favoured by a lady, a granddaughter of the Eev. Andrew Fuller, who is happily Avith us to day, with an opportunity of seeing an original letter from Carey to Fuller. It is as follows: — "Leicester, Feb. 11th, 1793. — Dear Brother, — I expected the London people woidd do just as they have done. But the cause is the cause of God. I feel my heart more and more engaged in the great work, and so much set upon it that I would rather midergo all the perils of a journey from Holland overland to Hindoostan, should it be impracticable to obtain a passage by sea, than not go upon the glorious errand. I wish to go on in the work, and feel pleasure in reflecting that it is God's v»^ork. Yet I have a very severe senslbihty of the sacrifices that I must make ; but the Lord sees it best to strip me of those comforts in v>'hicli I am inclined to rest too much. He cannot do wrong, and I desire to lie stUl. My A\'ife Avould have gone to Stapleton this week, but my journeys into Yorkshire and to Birmingham (where I was last week) have drained me of money. I must therefore apply to the Society for £5 to remove my family and goods. If you can send me a £5 note this week, it will much oblige me. My wife appears rather more reconciled to my going than TUB MEETIXfiS AT LEICESTER. 121 she was. Our people have not made their subscriptions yet ; they wait for Mr. Thomas to come down. I wish to know whether leave has yet been obtained of the dii-ectors. But I must leave off with saying that I am, youi-s most affectionately, W. Cakey." It will help us, I think, to estimate the sublime audacity of Carey's imdertaking, and it aWII at the same time, help us to think a little less harshly of the indifference with which his proposals were greeted if we take into consideration for a moment or two the condition of society in that age and time. To take the town of Leicester itself as an illustra- tion. The population, so we are informed, was less than 17,000, about one-tenth of Avhat it is to-day. Ignorance and poverty prevailed. Those were the days of bi-utal sports and trade riots ; and as to poverty, a writer informs us that, although meat was not more than 2d. or 3d. a pound, and wheaten bread Jd., few of the lower orders tasted either, barley bread being the common food of the people. Sunday-schools were by no means general. The fii-st Sunday-school established in this town was in connection with the Great Meeting in 1783. The state of religion was extremely low. There was, indeed, at the Church of St. Mary's, a Mr. Robinson, an excellent man, who became a fii-m friend of WilHam Carey during his career, and later on became a warm and ardent friend of Robert Hall. Oui- churches, I speak now of the Particular Baptist churches, were then penetrated Avith a strong, hard Calvinism, which did not admit of theii- co-operating very considerably with any sister denominations. The church at Harvey Lane was as staunch as any in its adherence to the orthodoxy of that day, and, sad to relate, it was also coiinipt, for, at a meeting of ministers in 1787 — an association meeting — a solemn remonstrance was issued against the cornipt state of the chui-ch. Consider for a moment that it was in the midst of a com- munity like this that William Carey, his heart full of plans for the evan- gelisation of the world, was set down. His first work was that of a reformer ; a radical reformer sm-ely. The church was practically reconstituted, the members being requii-ed to pledge themselves to greater purity of Hfe by signing a solemn covenant to that effect. It is not surprising that Carey made enemies. There were some who said he did not preach the Gospel. Mr. Fuller, as we all well know, was accused of heresy; but happily "the thoughts of men are widened with the process of the suns," and what is heresy in one age becomes sound Gospel ti-uth in another. And so Mr. Carey pursued his way, caring not for the opposition that he met with at home, or the difficulties that he might meet with in his joiu-neys abroad. He pressed on working laboriously for the welfare of the people around him, as well as for the prosecution of the great cause ujion which he had set his heart. He says, in writing to his father, that he losses his time in this manner : — ' ' On Monday I confine myself to the study of the learned languages ; on 122 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. Tuesday to the study of science, &c. ; on Wednesday I preach and lecture, and have been for more than twelve months on the Book of the Eevelation ; on Thui-sday I visit my friends ; on Friday and Saturday I devote myself to preparation for the Sabbath." It is plain, therefore, that his intense solicitude for the salvation of the race did not prevent his discharging, most faithfully and loyally, his duty to his o^vn church. Carey's work in Leicester is really typical of what was going on in many towns. Others had imbibed the same spirit, and, concuri-ently with the great missionary movement, there was proceeding also another truly " forward " move- ment in many of our- chui'ches. The great wave vv'hich carried the Gospel in the hands of Carey and his companions to a distant land found its way in numerous dii'cctions, scattering blessings on the chui-ches at home. A century has now passed away, and, looking back upon it, there is much — very much — to call for gratitude ; but I cannot think we can look with gi-eat satisfaction on the energy or enthusiasm with which we have prosecuted this glorious enterprise. Can it be said that we have yet adequately responded to the summons, "Attempt great things for Ood"? That £\^ 2s. 6d., contributed by the twelve men who formed the Society, seems to me to put to the blush even the £100,000 which is now being raised. "We stand upon the threshold of another century, "What are we to expect from it ? Are the golden dreams in which poets and seers have indulged to be fulfilled soon — very soon ; or is that age for which we pray and long to be still " the one far-off Divine event, to which the whole creation moves " ? Dear friends, it is vain and futile to speculate as to what the future wiU be. Our business is vfith the present — the living, auspicious present. Let us do our work, let us listen to the summons, " Go, work to-day in My vineyard." The first speaket was THE REV. J. G. GREENHOUGH, M.A., who delivered the following address : — I need not say that I feel greatly honoured by being permitted to take part in this meeting. I know that I have been asked to speak simply because I am fresh from the missionary field, and have been just pro- moted to the ranks of the favoured ones who can say, ' ' "We speak that we do know, and testify that which we have seen." I need have no hesitation whatever, therefore, about the choice of subject; it is marked out for me, and it would show a strange want of judgment, it would be an abuse of your patience, and it would show a want of sense of fitness if I were to attempt to make an ordinary missionary speech. "What you expect is what I will try to do — to give a brief and very simple account THE MEETINGS AT LEICESTER. 123 of some little which I have scon of our Society's Avork in those western islands which I have been privileged to visit. When the Society was formed , of which we are keeping the one hundredth anniversary, and when William Carey offered himself for that Avork which has made his name so honoured, there was, as most of you know, a long period of anxious hesitation as to which part of the great heathen world should be first attempted. The need was equally great on all sides, and the barriers in the way seemed to be equally forbidding. There was no open door, as we mean by that phrase now, anywhere ; and nowhere did there seem to be a welcome awaiting our missionaries. William Carey, with that large-heartedness which measured not the saci-ifice, said, " Send me anywhere." For him all heathen souls were equally dear, and the need of preaching the Gospel to them equally urgent. An apparent accident determined that he should go east and not west, and that the India of Clive and Hastings, rather than the Indies of Ealeigh and Columbus, should be the first to receive our witness. It was not an accident ; it Avas the pointing finger of God, for we have never regretted that India Avas the object of otu* first love, because it still remains the inain object of our desire and hope. But Carey did not know that he was going to the very hardest field of all — that land which is rooted, and built, and grounded in an almost immovable conservatism, which has an ancient civilisation and religion corrupt enough to fill one AA'ith boundless pity and shame, and yet with just enough of intermittent splendour to keep men fascinated ; that land peopled by a race which of all others is the most tenacious of the old, and the most averse to change, has yielded Avith sloAv and obstinate reluctance to the Gospel message. Even now statistics there are disappointing. Our missionaries have very often to preach to themselves from the text, "Ye haA^e need of patience;" and it is only by watching half-hidden movements and symptoms that we oan predict the speedy breaking up of idolatry, and cheer our hearts Avith the reward of our long and patient labom'S. If Carey had gone to the West Indies, he would not have had to wait very many years for a convert. Krishna Pal was AveU Avorth waiting for, but if Carey had been in Jamaica he Avould have baptized many Krishna Pals, not after many days. When our Society, in the second tAventy years of its existence, tui-ned to these lovely, but degraded, islands, it entered what was, in more senses than one, an entirely new Avorld. There it found not only that the fields Avere Avhite for the harvest, but that almost every grain Avas vocal with the demand that the time for the gathering had come. When I Avas in the Bahamas and Jamaica, jicople used often to point to a roAV of trees, and they said : " There is ahvays fruit on those trees. There is more fi-uit in some seasons than in others, but whatever season you will come, you •will find some ripe fi-uit there ready for the plucking." And so our Society 124 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. found it tliere in the region of souls. There was always some fruit ripe and ready for the Master's plucking." "We had to do with another race : instead of the conservative, passive, patient, self -repressive, and almost changeless Hindu, we had the emotional, highly excitable, very recep- tive, quickly sensitive, joyous-hearted negro race. And the results were very wonderful indeed. We were sigtdarly fortunate — we were more than foi-trmate, we were greatly blessed and honoiu-ed of God — in the men whom we sent to those islands. The roll of missionaries includes some of the noblest names that have ever been written in earth or in heaven. Foremost among these names are the names of the men who opened the holy war for us in the Bahamas and in Jamaica : Knibb, Burchell, and PhiHppo in Jamaica ; Littlewood and Eycroft in the Bahamas. I found these names inscribed on many and many a tablet out there, and many and many a simple stone. But they need none of these memorials : they are inscribed in ineffaceable characters on the hearts of grateful thousands. Hundreds of old men talked to us about them in tones quite tremulous, with tears in their eyes, as if it was only yesterday that their honoured faces had been seen ; and the very children pronoiuice their names in a tone of Avonderful tenderness and reverence and gratitude. You know what these men found there, and how they laboured ; the story has been often told. It has jvist been once more told by Mr. East in the Centenary volume, and told in a way so simple, direct, and thrilling, that it cannot be surpassed. They found the people* the great bulk of them, in a state of heathen darkness almost as dense as that of Africa. There was an Established Church there minis- tering very perfimctorily to the thin sprinkling of white planters, and apparently caring no more for the moral condition and the spiritual interests of the blacks than if they had been so many beasts or stones. They had no Gospel light or any light at all ; they had never been taught to read or to think ; they were sunk in the lowest moral degrada- tion ; they had hardly any sort of conception of honesty and truthfulness. Their sexual relations were without sanctity and without decency. They were crushed under one of the harshest and most brutal forms of slavery, their bodies lashed into subjection, and their minds kept purposely in the dark, lest a little knowledge should make them restive under their yoke. The voice of their groaning ascended continually, and it was a voice without hope. They had no God to fly to, and they had no Gospel to point them to the better things in the future. And then our missionaries went. You know how they laboured and suffered and were persecuted. Every planter's hand was against them. The Church clergy very often joined in the hue and cry against them, and would have hunted them from the islands if it had been possible. You know how theii- bodies were assaulted, their meeting-houses sometimes fu-ed, and the poor slaves THE MEETINGS AT LEICESTER. 125 who attended their iiiinistiy brutally abused and threatened and lashed. But, from the blacks themselves, our missionaries from the first received an earnest hearing and a glad welcome. They recognised at once theii- ti-ue friends ; their* hearts leaped at the unaccustomed soiuid of kind and brotherly voices; they Avore filled vath wonder that these white men, these " buckras " from a far-off land as they called them, should care for their souls. They were thrilled with an even greater wonder at the message which they brought, of a Saviour to whom the slave was as dear as the master, of the Father who looked with the same loving, pitiful eyes iij)on His black children and His white. And they crowded to the Gospel as doves to their windows. No threatening, no fear of the lash, couLl hold them back. They " received the Word in much affliction, but with joy of the Holy Ghost," and the work spread marvellously. Chapels rose as if by magic. Hmidreds were converted, and a scene was wit- nessed there of missionary enthusiasm and swift missionary success, as beautiful as any which the world has ever seen. Now, I cannot tell you the rest of the story, you must read it for yourselves, unless you are so familiar with it that you do not need to read it, about the struggle against .slavery, the trials and the martyrdoms, the final victory, the gladness of an enfranchised people, and all the rest. I cannot stop to say anything more about that, though I should like, for it is full of thrilling events. I want to ask, and you will like to know if I can tell you, how the work stands now, after all these years. Has it outlived the excitement and enthusiasm in which it was born ? Has it endured the visitations which in God's providence have been laid upon it — cyclones and famines and scourges, which have sorely tried the patience of the saints ? Was it a swift emotional effervescence such as people attribute to the excitable negro race, or was it a fire kindled by God and fore-ordained to preserve its fervour and freshness ? Oh, my brethren, I have seen things which will make me thankful all my life. It ought to have made me a better man for ever, and it certainly has made me more devoted to the work of our Society, in gratitude and in hope, than I have ever been before. All through the Bahama Islands I have visited little scattered com- jntuaities, living in remote and rarely visited settlements, where they hardly ever have a steamer call, and only see one now and then passing in the distance ; where they are shut out from all Ivixuries, all ordinary •comforts, all ordinary pleasures, and many of what v«-e should call the oi'dinary necessities of life ; living in poor lodgings, ill-fed, ill-clothed, ■with no books, with little knowledge, with nothing whatever to relieve the dreary monotony of life except the religious thoughts and exercises which they owe to you. And yet there they are, their faces ahvays lighted with that sort of sunlight which dwells where hearts beneath are full of joy and hope. They are indeed "glad in the Lord." Their religion is everything to them. The little boll of the cliapel — foi- there 126 THE CENTENAEY CELEBRATION. is a bell everywhere, whicli is the clock of the community, and the only clock or watch which is found there — the little bell which summons them to worship [is the sweetest music that they ever hear. It is very often the only music they ever hear except the sound of their own voices. And the bare sanctuaries, often not even whitewashed, with scanty furniture and benches that never show a trace of paint, where the rats sometimes i-un about in the rafters overhead, where the Kzards and mice come in and creep up the wall, and where the bats fly about in the dusk of evening, at the time of prayer, round the minister's head (when there happens to be a minister) and over all the pews — these bare sanctuaries are to these people the very place of God's feet which He has made glorious for them. They are simple, true, honest, loving, and veiy thankful people. They long for the Word of God. They have no preachers ; their services consist of simple prayer and songs, and a few broken utterances at times from one of their own very imperfectly educated people ; and the face of the missionary on his occasional visits, which are long and far between — the face of the missionary who comes to baptize the converts, gather them rormd the Lord's table, and to exhort them with the old Gospel truths — is as the face of an angel to them. And the gratitude which they feel towards you who send them the good tidings of salvation, and help them still to support the ministry of it, is too deep for either words or tears. These people are still dependent on us — I mean these churches in the Bahamas. The members are few, and they are miserably poor. If you knew how poor they are you would be full of wonder that they have been able to build so many chapels and school-houses all by themselves, without a penny from our Committee. Now Jamaica, on the other hand, needs oiu- help not at all. That daughter of ours long since became strong enough to do without her mother's fosteiing arms ; but, oh, she loves her mother with all the fond love of the olden years, and that daughter of ours told us often, some- times with tears — she loves the mother so much — that she was afraid the churches at home had almost if not quite forgotten her. She wUl send a contribution not to be despised to our Centenary Fund ; and of all the offerings that wUl be made this year to that Fund there will be none given more cheerfully than v/as this, and I ventm-e to say none which -will be more welcome to us. Jamaica, thanks chiefly to our Mission, has become one of the most religious places upon the face of the earth. There is a larger proportion of church members there and of regular worshippers — a far larger proportion — than we have in England or in any other land that I know. There are places in the island where it is almost an exceptional thing to find man, woman, or child who, imless physically disabled, does not attend the means of gi-ace, and our own people are nearly everywhere foremost in numbers and never behind in zeal and devoutness. I should think, to make a rough calcu- THE MEETINGS AT LEICESTEE. 127 lation, nearly one-fiftli of the entire population is more or less closely connected -wdtli our ministry. They have very little wealth, but they are rich in generosity and abounding in grace. They support their ministers with the utmost cheerfulness, a cheerfulness which exceeds our own. They build their chapels and school-houses ; they do more, they have a missionary society of their owtx — a lovely miniature of our Society. They contribute nearly £3,000 a year to send the Gospel to the adjacent islands in the West Indies. Every chapel has its day-school — every chapel so far as I know — and I had the unspeakable pleasure of going into these day- schools and questioning the children, and their answers would almost have put to shame the answers to similar questions which might have been put in our Board schools. On one subject at least they are better instructed, these children, than any in our Board schools — in their know- ledge of religious truth and of the Sciiptures — above the average, I think, of even our Sunday-school children at home. The morality of these people is very high. They are sober, truthful, honest, industrious, modest, chaste. Sometimes one finds here and there the faintest lingering trace of bad things which were leamt in the old evil times of slavery, things which their fathers long ago had brought from Africa, a little bit of superstition, obiism, or what not. But on the whole the moral life of these people wovild bear comparison with the moral life of our own churches. Oh, how dearly they love their ministers ! What would I give to have my people's love in the same way ! What Avould I give to deserve it ! What would I give to hear my people saying to me, "Minister!" in the sweet, affectionate, grateful way in which so often I heard these people address their ministers. They are eagerly attentive to the Word of God, drinking it in as greedily as if they had never heard it before. Oh, what a lesson these people would teach to our impatient congregations who are always clamouring for shorter and still shorter sermons ! The negroes out there will sit for foiu- hours without a movement, in a chapel packed far more densely than this, and an atmosphere incomparably hotter than even this — nearly 100° — • they will listen to preaching if it is worth hearing all the time, and only complain when it is over, if they ever complain at all, that they have been sent away still hungering for the Word. And these people are steadfast in the faith. Their faith is unclouded ; it has never been disturbed. Modern doubt has not entered there. Perhaps they are not wise enough to imderstand it. Perhaps they love God too well to give heed to its whispers. Jesus they know, and Paul they know, and the Bible they knov/, and they behevo in it ; and theii" ministers they know and love, and this Society they know and will remember for ever. But wifh the down-grade they have no acquaintance whatever. They are too much occupied in sei-ving the Master and rejoicing in Him to waste their time in making declarations 128 THE CENTEXAEY CELEBRATION. of faitL. and passing resolutions to certify to the world their ortliodoxy. If I had found them doing that, my soul would have had no pleasui'e in them at all. I should really have suspected that there must be some- thing unsound if I had found them anxiously protesting to the world and angels that their doctrinal views were indisputably correct. And when I got home, and found, to my grief, that our denomination had been doing that sort of thing — again protesting, before a smiHng and pei'haps rather contemptuous world, the correctness of its views, and bringing into notoriety the passing follies of earnest but rash young men, who will become both humbler and wiser as they grow older, if they are only let alone — when I found that that had been going on, oh, how thankfid I was that I had been out there and not here ! For the faith of these people is so true and unquestioning that they have no need to waste their time in v/riting for themselves elaborate certificates of character ; or perhaps its simplicity and ignorance make it wiser than om- wise and prudent leaders, for it may be still true that the things which are hidden from them are revealed unto babes. But, oh, how lovely is the unquestioning belief of these people in the Bible, and their imquestioning acceptance of the Gospel truths I And they are intensely joyous, my friends — oh ! so glad in the Lord. I had never seen any- thing like it before. They have made me v/ish to preach a course of sermons to my people on rehgious joy. I think I could do it now, and I am sure that both my people and yours, and all other peoj)le, need it. We do not know what religious joy means in this country as they know it there. We have a great many grumbling, discontented, dyspeptic Christians, who are the thorns and briars in our churches and the toi-ment of themselves : the best medicine we could prescribe to them Avould be a trip to Jamaica. If they could only come in contact with these people, and feel the touch of then- happy religious lives, as I have done, they would not be troubled with east winds and soul dyspepsia for at least twelve months to come. Oh 1 their songs are so fervent. They really believe that Christ has set them free, that Christ has redeemed them, that Christ has washed their guilt away, that Christ has lifted them up into a new life, that He has re-created the world for them, and made them happy aU the day long. Their songs are full of music, because they are full of fervent gi-atitude. They believe, indeed, that Christ is to them all that the Gospel has declared Him to be, and their religious life is full of simlight and rainbows of promise. Well, my friends, these are some few of the thoughts which I have brought back from the West Indies. Forgive me if you think I have spoken in extravagant eidogy. If you had seen what I have seen you Avould feel as I do. Many and many a time when I was out there I thought of the simple inscription in St. Paul's Cathedral to Christopher Wren. There it stands, among all the stately effigies and marble menu- :tiie meetings at Leicester. 129 ments, the name " Christoplior Wron " ; no marble figure at all, but tho words added, "If you want a monument of him, look around." The structure is his monument, for he built it ; and many a time in Jamaica and in the Bahamas I said to myself, ' ' If you want a monument of the Baptist Missionary Society, look around." Those chapels planted on every hill and in every valley ; in the Sabbath bells calling these eager crowds of worshippers; in the intense joyousness of their religious life ; and in their everlasting gratitude to the Society which sent them tho glad tidings of salvation. That is our monument, and it is one of the most beautiful monuments that the world has ever seen. Look around, and in the volume of your gratitude read words of hope. Oh, yes ! read Avords of hope, for you know that these people who have yielded you so rich a reward to your labours are after all just the same people whom our missionaries are meeting by millions in the great Congo basin. We have another larger Jamaica awaiting us there. They are of the same blood, the same colour, the same religious receptivity, the same emotional fervour, the same naturally religious disposition. Many a time I could almost persuade myself that I was in Africa ; the voices, the faces, the fancies, the prejudices, the like superstitions, the very burdens on the heads of the people, reminded me of what I had heard Mr. Grenfell and Mr. Bentley tell of their experience, only that the people of Jamaica are clothed, and sitting in theii- right mind at the feet of Jesus. What I have seen there fills me with almost inimitable hope concerning our work in Africa. Other voices \Aill speak of India and China, and all that they say wiU have my truest sympathy ; but what I have seen of the negro race in the West Indies makes my heart beat and thrill with a larger hope somehow concerning what awaits us in the great Dark Continent ; and Avhat I have seen makes uie profoundly thankful, more thankful than words can tell, that 1 have been permitted, in this simple and feeble manner, to plead on the Centenary platform for a grateful recognition of our Society's Avork in the past, and for the support of its efforts in the future. After singing the hymn beginning, " Lord of the living harvest That whitens o'er the plain," THE REV. ARTHUR MUR8ELL spoke as under : — Fifty years ago, when it Avas a harder tiling to be faithful to Christian conviction than it is noAV ; fifty years ago, Avhen heaA-ier odds had to be faced by the staunch and true than there are to-day ; fifty years ago, when the teeth of the beasts of Ephesus had not been filed by the Lord's freemen ; 9 ISO THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. fifty years ago, when William Baines, of Leicester, was in gaol for the noble felony of a conscience which would rather bleed than bend ; fifty years ago I sat in the hall hard by and heard one whose dear name and noble memory are my only passport to the place of honour I occupy to- day, use these words, " A witty dean, who might have turned his wit to better purpose, has been laughing at our Mission and its soldiers. But we point to the myrtle already springing by the briar, and tell Sydney Smith and all his compeers to look to the results of Christian missions, whilst we cry, ' Where is the Scribe, where is the wise ? Where is the disputer of this world ? ' " If that could be said half a century ago, what may be said now ? Whiter fields are promising a heavier harvest. A still more fruitful Lebanon is shaking with its fruit. The scythes of a Saker and a Comber have been mowing at the brushwood, and all along the Congo songs of praise are soimding across the graves of heroines and heroes who have counted not life dear. Other, more vulgar, and less brilliant satiiists have vilified our missionaries, and detracted from their work since Peter Plymley sullied his canonicals at their expense. But the seed is springing thicker. Broader swaths of vdlderness are being so-wti, and the solitary place is smiling. Comfortable travellers and club-train tourists have had the cheap audacity to brand as sybarites the men who have suffered and died for Christ in this last decade of the nineteenth century ; but the turf has hardly turned green over their graves than oiir college walls are vocal with the cry, "Here am I. send me," from young and eager champions who are ready to be offered. This does not look ag if the spirit of the martyr slumbered. But it does look as if a conservative and non-aggressive theology were consuming like old tinder in the quickening flame of living sympathy and dpng love. And as we stand at this crematorium of Calvin and birth-Bethlehem of the Christ, we cry, Peace to the ashes of the first, and Hosanna in the highest to the second. There seems to be a necromancy in the name of Andrew ; and it is significant that the dogmas of our own Fuller were not proof against the spirit of the Andrew of the New Testament. The Greeks who asked Philip to let them " see Jesus" put his orthodoxy to a sharp test. His tradi- tions were shocked. He supposed Christ was for the house of Israel. How could he bring outsiders to Him ? He hesitates till he misses a beautiful opportimity of bringing many. His traditions block the vista to the larger hope. A dogma lies across the path, and the frost-chapped fingers of theology come and slam down the sash just as the summer air comes float- ino- in. We cannot be angry with Philip, for we do much the same thing now, and keep the timid who would see Jesus at a distance, because they cannot answer our catechism.' But Philip took counsel of an old soul-winner in the person of Andi-ew. Ho had been at evangelistic work before. He was the same who brought Peter to Jesus. He had no notion of coming alone if he could enlist a recruit to come with him, THE MEETIXCtS AT LEICESTER. 131 While Philip is thinking about it, Andrew acts. While the committees were debating at Nottingham and Kettering, William Carey was on his way to Bengal. While theorists are weighing Avays and means, the missionary is setting up the types of his translations. While scholars are quibbling about Hebrew particles in the Jerusalem chamber, the poor Bible-woman is spelling out the plain vernacular of promise in the squalid court or at the death-bed side. "While learning is disputing about Greek grammar, devotion is pressing home the English of Christ's story to the weary and the heavy laden. " Sir, we would see Jesus," say the Greeks to Philip. "Well, I really don't know; I'm not quite sure. You see you are not of the house of Israel. But take a seat ; I'U see if it can be aiTanged. I will consult my brother Andrew." Here was a prudence borae out of the limitations of a creed. The trepidations of a test were fluttering the nei-ves of Philip. "I say, Andrew, my dear feUow, here are some Greeks who want to see the Master. They seem very anxious about it, but they are not Jevv's, you know, and perhaps He may not like it." "Jews, what does that matter:-' Thoy are men, and Avilling. And He will receive all such. At all events, h^t's chance it," says Andrew, whose economics are more practical than Philiji's ethics. And he brings them to Jesus. Hesitation in the first mind; action in the second. Theology baulking Philip; zeal inflaming Andrew. And how about Jesus ? Does He endorse the theology or' reward the zeal ? The flame of joy leaps in His eye as soon as the tidings are brought. He has no time to coi'rect Philip or to approve Andrew, but only to rejoice. These Greeks are the better theologians. All the world. Every creature. They had not hoard these words, but they hoped them. And Christ assui'es that hope by identifying His glory with its fulfilment. The corn of wheat can't abide alone ; it nxust fall into the ground and die that life may come. There is nothing so inspiring as to picture the imperial ambition of the Saviour ; for it is the thirst of a universal and ilhmitable love. And when these Greeks stepped across the line of covenant, and came in simple faith to greet Him, He felt the summer-kiss of the unclouded day when He should be manifested as a Light to lighten the Gentiles, as well as to be the glory of His people Israel. The scope of Christ's desire was the scope of missionary thirst. Wher- ever there was a creature there was a soul, and the Cross must be the focus of its hope. Not when the Jew accosted him as Lord, but when He touched the poor outsider, then was the Son of man glorified. It is across no golden bridge that the Deliverer of this world comes. Greed would have been satisfied with its enslavement. Ambition would have been completed by its spoils. Power would have been glutted by its destruction. But love can only be appeased by its redemption. " I am ready to be offered" is the missionary cry we catch from Christ — offered for My wandering children — and the amaranth of their garland shall be 9* 132 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. the purple of My shames — I am glorified because they are redeemed. There is no solitude like being misiuiderstood. Christ's ministry made but few converts ; men misunderstood Him still. One hundred and twenty converts was the record. The faith which believed in the handful of men on the top of the mountain was misunderstood. But when Sydney Smith played the unworthy role of clerical clown, and set the arena in a guffaw at the " religious hoy which set out for Margate," he had not a heart under his lawn canonicals big enough to presage the launching on the Congo stream of the pinnace of promise which heralds Gospel hope to Africa to-day. We are a long way now from our handful of inquiring Greeks. The centuries are vocal with the cry, " We would see Jesus." It has sounded down the aisles of time tUl now; and prisoners have caught the vision from the cell and martyrs from the stake. It has been heard from the East, and its appeal has filled the Indian bazaars with Careys, and the zenanas with heroines of the Cross. It comes from the Congo, and the graves of the Combers call youths from oui" colleges at home to lay fresh immortelles of service on the sacred soil. The Peace and the Goodwill fly up the stream with the red cross at the prow, because the cry has come from swamp and desert, " We would see Jesus." The harvest spreads. But Christ's soul travails still. What will be the end ? What will satisfy your hopes ? One hundred and forty-four thousand satisfied the arithmetic according to Calvin. About the population of Wolverhampton. But what about London, Leicester, Timbuctoo ? God loves Leicester. Christ died for Leicester. The much fruit is not restricted to the grains which committees of divines can pick out of the cracks between our vestry floors in the Bethels which report a baptism of three in our penny papers for the week. We don't despise the day of small things ; but we are aflame for the day of great things. We are expecting great things from God. We don't turn deaf ears to the inquiring Greeks, but we are eager and attent for the cry of an inquii'ing world. I look into the microscope of dogma — or through the vestry windows of the sects — and I see a self-satisfied little party who have come out of much controversy, and many adjournments, gai'risoned in a strong- hold of their own, and chirping a feeble hallelujah, "We are the people— the people of the Lord." They fling no glance over the outer world, regardless of its darkness, and contented with the damp tinder-box of " ratified decree." But from the peak of Patmos I look through John's telescope of faith, and I see a midtitude that no man can number ; their song is as the voice of many waters, and their line is gone out into all the earth. Who are these and whence came they ? Sir, thou knowest. These are they who have come out of great tribulation. They have be en scourged by poverty ; they have been lashed by trial ; the salt of tears has embittered their bread ; but they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. THE MEETINPxS AT LEICESTER. 133 Brethren, bear with me. The times are not so slack and out of joint as pessimists would paint them. There is promise on the East, and its rose is softly climbing. To me, as I stand here, the air is full of spirits and they are all of hope. This Leicester is a solemn, joyful, pensive place to me. A mist of memory enshrouds me. This is the house of God, the gate of heaven. Carey and Hall are not far off, and to-day they seemed to haunt the temple whose marbles testify of their living ministry. The men who first preached Christ at the dedication of this sanctuary to His service seem to be at hand, and Harris, Hamilton, and Cox, and Price and Edward Miall cross the consecrated stage. And that white head — the whiter for the crown of glory that it wears — -comes like a hallowed bard to strike a note from David's harp. This pulpit is an Apocalypse of Faith, and there is not a pew in all the place but holds for me some ghost of memory and love. Their white arms beckon and point upwards, and as they bid me listen, with their fingers on their lips : " In the crimson of the morning, In the whiteness of the noon, In the amber glory of the day's retreat, In the midnight robed in darkness, Or the gleaming of the moon, I listen for the coming of His feet. " I have heard His weary footsteps On the sands of Galilee, On the temple's marble pavement, on the street ; With weight of sorrow faltering Up the slopes of Calvary, The sorrow of the coming of His feet. " Down the minster aisles of splendour From betwixt the cherubim. Through the wond'ring throng with movement strong and sweet, Sounds His victor tread approaching, With a movement far and dim, The music of the coming of His feet. " Sandled, not with shoon of silver ; Girdled, not with woven gold ; Weighted, not with shimmering gems and odours sweet ; But white winged, and shod with glorj', In the Tabor light of old. The glory of the coming of His feet. " He is coming, O my spirit 1 With His everlasting peace, With His blessedness immortal and complete. He is coming, O my spirit 1 And His coming brings release ; I am panting for the coming of His feet." 134 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. The following telegram was then read by the Rev. J. Possnett, from the Rev. Dr. Stevenson, the President of the Wesleyan Con- ference, who was expected to be present : — " Important and unavoid- able missionary business detains me. Please communicate to Baptist brethren my deep regret at being prevented at the last moment. My heart and the heart of all Methodism is with you in your joy and gratitude, and hopes and prays to God to bless the Baptist Missions with continued and increasing triumphs." The proceedings closed with the Benediction. THE MEETINGS AT LEICESTER. 135 THE FRIAR LANE MEETINa began on the same evening, June 1st, at eight o'clock. The Rev. J. Evans, the pastor of the chapel, offered prayer. MR. ALDERMAN BUMPUS, who occupied the chair, addressed the meeting in the following speech : — We are met here to-night because, one hundred years ago, a few obscure luenmet at Kettering, and collected £13 2s. 6d., in order to send one of their number to some desjjised people in India. That meeting and its resolve seemed to contemporaries to be a small matter, but half of the wisdom of life consists in knowing what are gi-eat things and what are little things. 1792 also marks the French Eevolution. Contemporary opinion declared that Eevolution to be a (jreat thing. The Eevolutionists said it was. Had they lived in our day they Avould have called it a " Forward Move- ment." Kings and statesmen stood around it aghast, regarding it as a political volcano. The armies of Europe were summoned to encircle it. Our poets and our politicians alternately blessed and cursed it. The up- roar was deafening. Yet it all ended in the return of the Bourbon. The Kettering group blew no trumpet, their movement promised no bloody war, and attacked no throne, except, perhaps, that of Hades, and that didn't interest kings and statesmen, so it was a litth' thing. Yes, it was a tiny, modest rill, but a rill that pushed up from the deep normal sources of power, and so, in one brief century, the tiny rill has expanded to a great river, a mighty flood that flows from the whole Christian world through every darker land, bearing the great freights of religion and civilisation to every race of men. To-day, the Kettering movement is a living, growing force ; the French Eevolution is a page of history. The missionary movement is a i'ivil('ge, the duty, the secret of the power of all who believed. Nor is the teaching of the New Testament different. The holiest, the most successful missionary that ever lived I need not say is oui- Lord. He came forth from God, and He knew it and believed it. He knew all human hearts, and by His mii-acles and ten- derness. He had immense power. Reading three of the Gospels we may get the impression that His life was a life of miracle-working, and a life of beneficence. He went about doing good. In the most human life of Christ, His life written by Luke, we are told again and again of our Lord as praying. Six times, at least. He left His disciples ; sometimes at the close of a day of mii'acle- working ; sometimes as the end drew nearer He retired to spend a night alone and in prayer. Why should He need it ? He had exhaustless resources ; He knew who was with Him, and He was assm-ed of final victory, and yet He was dependent, as we know, upon continued praying. And His prayers were Avith strong crying and with tears, and He "was heard in that He feared" is the version of our Bible, and is sufficiently accurate ; but its real meaning is partly concealed. He knew the difficulty of His Avork, and the aAvful 11 162 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. issues for Himself and others that depended on His faithfulness, and He, too, like ourselves, owed His constancy and His victory to the help He sought and found in praying. Nor less instructive is the history of the first apostles as recorded in the Book of the Acts. If that book is a record of anything it is the record of the power of prayer in all depart- ments of our work. If an apostle is to be appointed it is after earnest and united prayer that God would show whom He had chosen. If per- secution arises the church meets to pray. If an apostle is to be sent forth the church meets and prays, and sends him. And that book, it will be remembered, is the first missionary report, and the only inspired Chui-ch history. It records emphatically the preaching of the Spirit, and the power of the prayers of believing people. What we want, men say, is such preachers as Peter and such preaching as that of Pentecost, and we all agree ; but, I ask you to mark that the conversions of Pentecost did not originate with preaching. It was while apostles and church members were all with one accord in one place praying that the Spirit came down upon them all, and out of that prayer- meeting the apostles went, saturated with Divine influence, and so preached that multitudes believed. Nor do the Epistles differ from the rest of the New Testament in this respect. How often does Paul tell us that he bowed his knees to the God of all grace, and prayed for the churches he was addressing ; and how often does he ask their prayers, intimating that thereby they became fellow-workers with him in the great purpose of his life I And the history of modern missions confirms all this teaching, and the formation of modem missionary societies was preceded by a whole generation of praying men. They began forty years before with Edwards's appeals, with the revivals at Cambuslang, with the prayer- meetings of the Midland counties. I repeat the lesson — In all the great stniggles of the Christian life, and in all Christian work, it is on our knees that the battle is fought and the victory won. The following took part in the devotional exercises : — The Revs. J. T. Brown, of Northampton ; J. T. Wigner, of New Cross ; Dr. Todd, of Sydenham ; T. Baker, B.A., of Stony Stratford ; G. Short, B.A., of Salisbury ; J. B. Myers, of the Mission House ; and Mr. Marnham, of Boxmoor. THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 163 SERMON BY THE REV. WILLIAM LANDELS, D.D., At two o'clock a large gathering assembled in a capacious tent, specially erected in the paddock of the Mission House by the kind permission of J. T. Stockburn, Esq. Dr. Landels, like Dr. Clifford, at Nottingham, and Dr. Pierson, at Leicester, selected "William Carey's text, Isaiah liv. 2, 3, as the foundation of his remarks. The following is the discourse : — Those who preached on this text lately have not apologised for choosing it ; neither do I. Although it is the text from which Carey preached the epoch-making sermon that led to the commencement of modern missions, there is nothing presumptuous in our addressing you from the words which he has rendered so famous. Our doing so involves no comparison ; and, of course, no comparison will be thought of. We do not claim to be either the equals or the superiors of the strong men who have wrought for us, if, taking advantage of their work, we add to it something of oui- own. We may be mere pigmies compared with our fathers. But a boy of small stature may stand on his father's shoulders ; and because of the advantageous position to which his father has raised him, he may take a wider survey than his father can. Men of feeble voice, who cannot be heard while others are speaking, may nevertheless be of use, if, when others have spoken, they catch, and, though with feeble voice, echo and pass on their powerful utterances. If Carey found in the text an argu- ment for commencing the missionaiy enterprise, we may no less find in it an argument for its maintenance and extension. If it led him and his co-workers to " attempt great things," we, in view of all that has taken place, may find in it reason for an advance on anything that has yet been done. It led him to "expect great things"; but we have already re- ceived great things, and in what we have received have a reason for expecting greater things still. Moreover, the words have a meaning for us which they had not for them. In a missionary sense, they had not erected their tent, and could not enlarge what did not exist. We have our tents, and may enlarge them if we will. In a missionary point of view, they could not " strengthen their stakes," for they had planted none. They had taken possession of no temtory. Through their labours, and those of their successors, we are possessed of territory. The stakes have been planted for us. And, because of the assaults to which they are exposed, it is our duty to strengthen them. Thus, the text applies to us with an appropriateness and force with which it could not apply to them, 11* 164 THE CENTEJ^ARY CELEfetlATlOJr. tu-ging us at once to strengthen our position, and to advance into the regions beyond. It is in this sense I intend to use it. I wish my sermon, without any attempt at expounding that which we have heard expounded so well, to enforce the appeal it presents by considerations drawn from— (1) the magnitude of the object at which we aim ; (2) the vastness of the field now open to us ; (3) the facilities we have for carrying on our work (4) the sad condition and urgent claims of the heathen ; (5) the Divine interest in this enterprise ; (6) the obligations under which we are laid because of the favours we have received. These will be found to suggest Hnes of thought which all converge on one focus ; and as the sun's rays, concentrated through a burning glass, set on fire the object on which they fall, so ought these convergmg lines of thought to kindle in our souls an intense and all-consuming flame of missionary zeal. These topics, it may be said, are very commonplace ; hackneyed, perhaps. So much the better. The more familiar you are with ±hem, the greater is the likelihood of my purpose being fulfilled. Anything new or original on such a subject, even if it came within the range of my ability, I would not dare to attempt. I wish to submit to you con- siderations in which your judgment is already on my side. To set your minds questioning would certainly retard, and might altogether frus- trate, my purpose. What I have to do, therefore, is not to state what is new or startling, but to recall some of the things "most surely believed among us, and thus to stir up yom- pure minds by way of remembrance . ' ' It is possible that the topics may not prove very entertaining to some of you. But I may be permitted to hope that you are able and willing to dispense with entertainment for once, especially as the occasion is as solemn as it is interesting, and the subject the most momentous which can occupy the attention of men. There was not much hHarity, I imagine, in the audience before which Carey preached, when Dr. Eyland says " he should not have wondered if the people had lifted up their voices and wept." Possibly, if we think of our negligence, we may find that we have no less cause for weeping than they had. There is much reason for rejoicing over the signal mercies of a hundred years ; but it is rejoicing with which we may well mingle sadness when we remember our remissness— rejoicing like that of the Israelities when Ezra laid the foundation of the Temple, and they " wept with a loud voice, and many shouted for joy ; so that the people could not discern the shout of loy from the noise of the weeping of the people." With the earnest prayer that every word spoken, and eveiy feeling awakened, may be in harmony with the time, I now ask you to consider — THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 165 I. The Magxitfde axd Supheme iMroRXANCE of our Object. — That oh/'ect is the couversiun and salvation of the luorld. Not merely itg evangelisation in the sense in which some use the word, who calculate to a nicety the means by, and the time at, which it may be accomplished, and with whom it simply means the proclamation of the Gospel in the hearing of all without regard to their receiving or rejecting it. Our object is the reconciliation of the world to God — -the bringing of all men into a right relation to Him who made them. We have not only to " preach the Gospel to every creature," but to "make disciples of all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things which the Lord has commanded." We know, indeed, that the conversion of the world is not our work, but God's ; and that we are not responsible for results, wliich must be left in the hands of God, but have only to obey the Divine command. But we also know that the Lord works with siiitable instruments, and that the degree of our success may bo influenced by our devotedness, and the skill with which we adapt our efforts to our end ; and, like sensible men, we try to find out the methods most likely to prove conducive thereunto. Indifference as to results would be a poor qualifi- cation for our work, and Avould prove, as will presently appear, how little we were in harmony with the Divine Being whose messengers we claim to be. Indifference as to results means indifference to the fate of our fellow-men — a want of pity for those who are perishing — a callous- heartedness which would render our taking part in this work a piece of profane impertinence — a mockery of the apostolic fervour which besought men to be reconciled to God : yea, even entreated them night and day with tears. Unless we share this feeling we sliall work but little and to little purpose. A simple regard to duty is no doubt a grand thing, but those who profess to be actuated by this alone are not usually the most zealous, or the most efficient in its performance. Human nature has not, as a rule, reached that lofty state of perfection in which it is moved by a sense of duty only, without regard to what may result therefrom. Nor does the Lord require us thus to labour. He does not forbid our being animated by the hope of success, and the prospect of reward. "They that sow in tears," He tells us, " shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth weeping, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." No, brethren, we are not required to toil on without an inspiring object. We have to aim at the grandest result which ever entered the mind of man or angel — the result on which the Divine heart is most intently set. Although it is true that the work is not ours, that truth is sometimes made to convey a false impression. In another point of view it is our work. As regards instrumentality, God has placed it entirely in qmx 166 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. hands. He employs no other. Unlike monarchs who send out a loyal army to subdue a revolted province, He simply sends His message of mercy, leaving those who receive it to make it known to others, proffer- ing to them a free and full forgiveness for all their offences, telling them of the sacrifice He has made in order that that forgiveness might be righteously bestowed, inviting them to all the privileges of those who have never offended Him; and thus, in His mysterious wisdom. He employs those who have been rebels to subdue their fellow-rebels, and thus reconcile the world to Himself. The work is ours, therefore, and will be done so far as we work on His conditions. For God's heart is too intently set on the conversion of the world for Him to withhold from those who follow His plan anything which is necessary to its accomplishment . The conversion of the tvorld ! Who can realise what that means ? I think of one soul living and dying in rebellion against God — of its possibilities for misery and for mischief — how much it may itself endure, how much injury it may inflict, how much grief occasion, throughout God's holy universe ! I think of that soul as converted and saved — of the blessedness it may experience, the beneficent influence it may exert, the joy its conversion will diffuse throughout the ranks of sinless intelligence, for has not the Saviour told us that there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth ? — of the sublime satisfaction with which He will regard it, who, for its sake, endured the cross and despised the shame, when it becomes a jewel in His crown, a trophy of His saving love and power, fruit of His soul's travail. Then I extend the thought to the countless myiiads of the human race whom that soul represents, and of whom the same thing may be predicated— men and [women perishing for lack of knowledge^ a world with its teeming popvilation rushing away from God towards endless destruction. I think of that world as arrested in its downward course, raised to the place whence it has fallen, brought into its proper relation to God, swelling the anthem of praise which rises from all parts of His creation, fulfilling the purposes of its existence, God regarding it with complacency, while, in sympathy with the Divine, the morning stars sing together over its recovery, and all the sons of God shout for joy. I think of this, and the thought is to me absolutely overpowering. I can only exclaim, " O the magnitude — the momentous importance of the object at which we aim ! O the miserable smallness of the means we use for such a purpose " I "Why, it is the greatest work of the ages. It affords to principalities and powers in heavenly places the most illustrious display of the Divine perfections. In its nature, its influence, its far- reaching relations, it is the greatest which the universe has yet witnessed or can witness — greater, we have reason to believe, than the creation of the worlds ; for, in the worship of the upper sanctuary, they delight THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 167 more in celebrating the triumphs of redeeming love than the achieve- ments of Almighty power. II. The Vastxess of the Field now open to us. — With more force than at any previous period of the Avorld's history we can say of missions, "The field is the world," — the whole world — "every ci-eature" in "all nations," the hundreds of millions of human beings who people this habitable globe. "We talk of these millions without any adequate realisation of what the words represent. Hundi'eds of millions ! — who save the Omniscient One can grasp the thought ? We are baffled, bewildered, almost paralysed by the attempt. Our resources for such a work as the evangelisation of these myriads, were they multiplied ten thousand fold, would be utterly insufficient, nor would we dare to attempt it were it not for our dependence on the Omnipotence with which we are allied. And for us to imagine that we may properly stop short of our very utmost, if it were not a proof of sheer madness, would at least betoken such a want of intelligent discernment as would render us totally unfit for our task. Hundreds of millions ! Fourteen, nearly fifteen hundred millions, according to one computation I Ten hundred millions at the lowest ! Can the Church be so infatuated as to suppose that, with fewer than every messenger she can send, or every effort she can put forth, or every pound she can spare, she can possibly reach so many? And these millions, generally speaking, are willing to receive us. Many of them are prepared to give us a cordial welcome. Some who have received the Gospel upbraid us in most touching manner for having kept it from them so long. Paul's vision of the man of Macedonia appealing for help has become a universal reality. On eveiy shore they are stretching out their hands imploringly, and littering the piercing cry, " Come over and help us ! " When our Society was founded the brethren knew not where to find an opening. They only felt that they ought to do something to send the Gospel to the heathen, but knew not how to reach them. Providentially their attention was directed to India. But even there entrance was not easily gained. Every one knows how Carey had to sail under a foreign flag, and was smuggled into British territory as men smuggle contraband goods, and how he and his fellow-labourers found their permanent abode and sphere of labour in the Danish settlement of Serampore. What a change has taken place smce then ! To-day in India the missionary is welcomed and honoured throughout the length and breadth of the land, protected by her rulers, affectionately regarded by many of the people. And not in one country only, but in every country under heaven he may work in safety. The densely populated provinces of China are open to him, not merely the open ports, as they were called, which commerce had obtained and held for its own purposes; but through her vast 168 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. interior lie can go scattering tlie good seed of the Word. Africa, so long wrapped in worse than Egyj)tian darkness, now welcomes the da^v^ling light, and, from the benefits she has already received from it, looks hopefully for the coming day. The prediction is fulfilled, "Ethiopia shall stretch out her hands unto God." And the smaller fields, where your work is already begun, and which some of you are disposed to abandon, vie with each other in entreating you not to leave them, but to send them the reinforcements they so greatly need. And not heathen countries only are open, but those under the false prophet and the man of sin. These hoary superstitions have so lost their power over their votaries that they no longer shut you out of the countries over which they have held undisputed sway. The Turk by his political necessities has been forced to open his dominions to the Chiistian missionary, and throughout his empii-e the Crescent wanes before the Cross. The Papacy can no longer by force prevent the spread of New Testament Christianity. The peoples whom she has enslaved are shaking oflf the yoke, and resisting the tyranny by which they have been so long enthralled. The Gospel can be preached under the shadow of the Vatican, and all Italy welcomes you. France places Protestantism and Popery on an equal footing. Even priest-ridden Spain has begun to listen to the Christian teacher, and to yield its converts to the truth. And although the Papacy still retains something of its pomp and show, and performs its meaningless mummeries, and fulminates its muined thunder, the sword has dropped from its paralysed hand, and it can no longer make itself drunk with the blood of martyred saints, but is now compelled to watch the current of public opinion, and fall in with the trend of modern forces, and make its appeal to reason, and seek a repu- tation for philanthropy, instead of ruling men, as it did in the days of old, by its relentless persecution, combined with its ghostly teiTors. We have prayed for this. And now that the Lord has so signally answered our prayers, shall we show, through our backwardness to enter the openings He has prepared for us, that we have been mocking Him by asking for what we did not want ? Have we been playing at missions, making believe that we were greatly interested in them, while we were feeling, in fact, that the less we had to do with them the better ? It surely may be hoped that we shall not suffer our action thus to belie our prayers and professions ; that we shall prove our sincerity by our deeds, quitting ourselves like men who discern the signs of the times, and know where- fore they are "come to the kingdom for such a time as this," thankfully accepting the opportunities we have prayerfully sought, and entering on our work with all the ability which God gives. Although our survey must be rapid, we ought not to overlook any- thing so important as — ■ THE MEETINGS AT KETTEKING. 169 III. The Facilities vte now have for caerying on our Work.— Not only are nations open to iis, bnt we have facilities for reaching them such as have never existed in the history of the world. In accordance with the Apocalyptic vision in which the Lamb opens the seven seals, the Lord in His high providence has furnished the Church with most favourable opportunities of conducting this great enterprise in all parts of the earth . War has been overruled for this end. Geographical discoveries have been made subservient to it. The transactions of commerce — the mutual exchange of commodities, drawing peoples together, teaching them then- interdependence and nnitual serviceableness — are promoting the solidarity of nations, thus opening the Avay and supplying the means for the spread of the Gospel— your merchant fleets spreading their sails over every sea — your ocean steamers ploughing the mighty deep with a swiftness and security and certainty truly mai-vellous, in the teeth of fiercest storms, reaching their destination, thousands of miles distant, punctually to an hour — your railroads girding the earth with bars of iron, over which, harnessing fire and water to your chariot, you roU with whirlwind speed — your telegraphs along which the lightning conveys your messages with a fleetness which annihilates space — do not all these and many other things show that Providence is working on your side ? Are they not a fulfilment of the prophecy connected with the final triumph of the Church when men are to run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase . And may we not expect that, under the high Government of our King, they will all be employed in bringing to pass those more glowing pre- dictions in which of the Church it is said, " And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thme eyes round about and see : all they gather themselves together, they come to thee ; thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thme heart shall fear and be enlarged ; because the abundance of the seas shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee ! " And, brethren, when all these things combine to help us— when we have such facilities for our work — shall we not prove ourselves strangely blind to the leadings of Providence, and deaf to the Divine call, if we refuse or neglect to take advantage of the opportunities Avhich God hath given ? IV. The Miserable Coxdition and Urgent Claims of the Heathen. — I do not stand here to pronounce on the condition, after death, of the heathen as such. It is not my prerogative to utter any prediction on such an awful question. I certainly have little sympathy with the terrible representations of those who assume the etenial damna- tion of all who die without the knowledge of the Gospel, harrowing and lacerating our feeUngs by calculations as to the numbers who are dying every moment, and passing into endless perdition because of our remiss- ness. Such representations may, in some minds, awaken a feeling of 170 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. pity for the heathen ; but even that will scarcely compensate for the aspersions which, in the estimation of others, they cast on the character of the Divine being. For my part, I must say my inmost soul revolts at the thought of men being for ever damned, simply because of your negligence or mine. If the Judge of all the earth will do right, the final judgment naust be based on what men are, and not detemiined by what we have done, or not done, for them. And why should such representations be thought necessary? Is there not enough to move every Christian heart in the thought of what men are now ? Nothing in their condition should affect us more than the thought of theii" wickedness. That is the essential damnation. And the wickedness of the heathen generally, according to the testimony of the most competent witnesses, is such as cannot be named among us. "What, indeed, can they be, when men naturally resemble the objects of their worship, and many of theirs are the vilest of which the imagination can conceive — embodiments of their own worst passions, combinations of fiendish cruelty and brutish lust, so that their very religion becomes the most powerful minister and iacentive to evil ? We know something of the misery in which they pass their days, their mutual mistrusts and suspicions, oppressions and cruelties, the evil passions they indulge, their fears and forebodings, the hopelessness with which they contemplate the great hereafter — we know something of all this ; but who can adequately con- ceive of the dishonour they do to Him that made them ? The dark picture given of them by Paul in the first of Eomans represents theii condition now as accurately as it did then. And shall we, in view of that, suffer oiu" efforts to be interfered Avith by our vague speculations as to what God will do with them in the future ? Does not He know all about that ? And knowing it, what does He say to us ? Leave them to me. Give yourself no concern about them. Don't trouble to send the Gospel to them ; it is not worth your while. Is that what he says — He who knows all about it ? Does He not rather, in the most plain and unmis- takable manner, charge us to " go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature" ? And shall we, whose duty is thus so plainly and positively enjoined — we who are so ignorant about their future — shall we, on the ground of our unwarranted baseless conjectures, render ourselves deaf to the Divine call, refusing to obey until we have settled what God means to do ? Is it nothing to us that God is dishonoured by them every day, that, as a matter of fact, "where no vision is, the people perish," that God will " pour out His fury on the heathen, and on the families that call not on His name " ? "We would not have you to regard their state as hopeless, but any hope you can properly cherish only renders the call to duty more lu'gent. Their sad condition presents an urgent appeal to our pity ; and while that should be sufficient to move us, there is also something to animate THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 171 us in the prospect of what they may yet become. For all that is deplorable in their character and state, the Gospel is the divinely appointed remedy, and everywhere, as yet, it has proved its adaptation to their need. With the Gospel in our possession, therefore, we need not stand appalled or paralysed before the mass of evil that confronts us. The worse it is, the gi-eater the necessity and urgency of the case, the more forward and eager shoidd we be to apply the remedy. The Saviour has taught us to look hopefully on those whose case, to human eyes, appears most hopeless. In the lost piece of silver, worn and defaced, covered with dust and mould, He saw traces of the image and inscription which testified to its original value.. The lost sheep, though it had wandered so far, was, in His eyes, a sheep still. The prodigal, though he had sunk so low, was capable of being restored to his father's arms, and causing joy to his father's heart, and music and dancing among the members of the household. Zaccheus, the robber, was in His sight a son of Abraham. And the poor fallen woman, distinguished only for her sin and shame, Avas, through His forgiving love and saving power, trans- formed into an angel of light, and, by her tearful homage, honoured Him more than most of His ransomed ones. And from that dark mass of heathenism — from the deep pit into which William Carey went down so boldly — there may come forth, as we have already proved, some whose characters shall be as distinguished for virtue as formerly for vice ; and because of the greater wickedness from which they have been rescued, they will be the most conspicuous among all the ranks of the glorified, as the everlasting monuments of God's redeeming love. Have we not then, in what the heathen are, as contrasted with what they may become, one of the mightiest motives to sanctified effort which can possibly appeal to the hearts of redeemed and regenerated men ? V. The Divixe Ixtebest in this Great Enterprise. — In this in- terest we all believe. Our conception of the Divine Being is not that He is like the Jove of the Greeks, or the Jupiter of the Romans, stem and vengeful, enthroned in pomp and splendour, with a thunderbolt in His hand and lightning in His eye, and a frown on His stern countenance, far removed from all sympathy with, or interest in, our human affairs — righteous, indeed, so that His creatures cannot charge Him with treating them unjustly, but caring little about the majority of them, and, except for a very few, doing nothing to induce them to accept of His salvation, or to produce in them any change of feeling towards Himself. This view may at one time have obtained to a large extent; but, happUy, a more Scriptmal view is now genei-ally entertained. The churches are opening their eyes to the patei-nal aspect of the Divine character, and to the paternal relation as the primary relation which subsists between God and His creatures. The belief is spreading that He is a veritable father to them — more fatherly than any earthly parent — that He longs for the 172 THE CENTEN'ARY CELEBRATION. well-doing and tlie well-being of those who are His offspring with a desire whose strength we cannot estimate, because immeasurable as the infini- tude of His o^vn nature. That desire was the motive of the great redemption scheme. The gratification of that desire is the ultimate end of all Providential dispensations, and of all the apparatus of means He has originated in connection with His Church, and all the mighty spiritual infliiences exerted through the instrumentalities He employs. That desire led to the greatest sacrifice which even God could make, the giving up of His only begotten and well-beloved Son to insult and suffering and death. That desire was seen in all the actions of the Saviour's life ; His association with sinful men, until He was called in derision the friend of publicans and sinners ; the gracious invitation He addressed to them ; the works of mercy He wrought for them ; the prayers He offered, as well as in the sufferings He endured and the death He died, in order that His desire might be fulfilled ; the tears He shed when, in the case of some, that desire was frustrated, and the Divine grief found expression in the cry of wounded love — " Alas, for thee, Jerusalem ! how cold thy heart to Me ! How often in those arms of love would I have gathered thee ! My sheltering wing had been thy shield, My love thy happy lot. I would it had been thus with thee ; I would, but ye would not." That desire may still be seen in the mission of the Comforter, who, in the Saviour's bodily absence, strives to convince the world of sin, of righteous- ness, and of judgment. Brethren, this is one of the "things most surely believed among us." And in this the Church professes to be in sym- pathy with the Triune God. If so, how will she feel towards perishing men ? Will she deem it a matter of small concern what may be their present condition and future destiny ? WiU she not rather, with a yearning, burning, all-consuming, irrepressible love, pray and labour for their salvation, subordinating to this every other desire^ foregoing for it every other ambition— making it the most prominent object of thought — the great end of all her plans and prayers and labours ? Surely other things in comparison with it must be deemed un- worthy of her attention if she would gain the approval of her Lord. For, as a parent whose child's life was in danger would think little of the sympathy of a friend who would gather flowers or fruits, or amuse himself with toys, or even engage in graver pursuits, before he helped him in attempting the child's rescue, so Avill God set little value on the sympathy of those who show a greater readiness to increase their property, or take their pleasure, than to rescue from a doom worse than death those on whom He looks Avith pity as His own offspring. Sympathy with the Divine means that the love of the Triune God shall glow aud throb in the heart of the Chui'ch, ij-nd flow out iu eaj-nest THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. l73 desire for the salvation of men. God's own feelings must move those whom he has made His own, or they cannot behave themselves in the maimer which becomes their relation to Him. We have no right to bear His name, or seek to be known as belonging to Him, if we have so little sympathy with Him as to regard with comparative indifference those about whose welfare He is so much concerned — if we do not look upon them as He does, \vith a pity which can only weep ovei- their misery, an irrepressible yearning which nothing but their salvation can satisfy, a readiness to make the greatest sacrifices on their behalf. Ah, we need to read our duty in this matter in the light of the love-sacrifice of Calvary, if we would know what is requiied of us. That shows us, not that we are to consecrate to this object only the cash we can easily spare, or the sui-plus property we shall never miss, but the best we have to give — that which it pains us most to part Avith — that which involves the greatest self-sacrifice. Even our relatives — the sons and daughters we hold most dear — yea, we om-selves, mil be given up in daily self-denial and self-sacrifice, if we are in sympathy with the Divine Being in His desire for the salvation of the lost. I have left myself little time for touching on the last topic I purposed noticing — ■ VI. The Obligations uxder which we are laid because of the Favours we have received.— And, happily, not much need be said. Although those obligations are numberless, and weighty beyond our powers of calculation, they need only be mentioned in order to be acknowledged by every one who is living in the enjoyment of God's pardoning mercy. Forgiven i-ebels, as v.-e are, our forgiveness having been procured for us by the sufferings and death of our Lord, and granted to us as the gift of His grace — redeemed by His blood, as we are, from the destruction which was pending over us — admitted, as we are, to all the privileges of loyal and obedient subjects, having free access into the Divine presence, not only permission, but encouragement to make known to God the desire of our hearts with the assurance that He hears us always — born, as we are, of the Spirit into the Divine family, made children and heirs of God, entitled to call God Father — delivered, as we are, from the fear of hell, and animated by the lioiJe of a glorious immortality — indebted, as we are, to the influence of the Gospel, even for those temporal blessings which are so conducive to our comfort and enjoyment during the present Hfe, and in respect of which we can truly say, " The lines have faUen to us in pleasant places, and we have a goodly heritage " — honoured by God in being called, as we are, to share in His great work of winning the world to Himself, by which He shows how comjjletely He has forgiven us, and what confidence Ho places in us ; assured too, that " they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever " 174 THE CENTENARY CELEBEATION. • — is not ours confessedly a position of unspeakable privilege ? How do we value it? Is our estimate of the blessings we enjoy measured by what we do to communicate them to others ? Do our efforts and our gifts for that end show what we think they are worth ? It is not Tuu-easonable to conclude that they do. Oh, then, what a small value do we set upon them ! How we make light of the purpose for which the Saviour died ! How plainly do we say that the blessings He pro- cured for us were not worth the cost — that it was a pity He died and suffered so much for such a little thing ! Said a man who received a shilling from another, whose life he had saved at the risk of his own, as he looked first at the coin and then at the man, ' ' So that is what you think your life is worth." And when you who are saved give to Him who saved you, in order to send salvation to others — I do not say how much ; you know ; but whatever it may be — do you not by your manner of giving, refusing to give more when the demand is so great, and you can give more so easily — do you not seem to say, " That is what you think your eternal salvation worth ? That is how you value what has made your life blessed, and is to make your eternity glorious " P Brethren, it is not in your hearts to say that in so many words. It is only thoughtlessness that makes you say so by your action. Think of all you owe to the Gospel of Christ, and you will see that nothing within your power is too great for you to give or do that you may send that Gospel to others. I have thus rapidly passed in review the various reasons for main- taining and extending our operations which it was my purpose to notice. And now it is time for us to ask what we are doing, and to compare our actions with our object and obligations. When a nation has to repel the assaults of an invading army, or to regain a stolen or revolted province — when a people have to contend for their liberties and rights — what sacrifices they will make for that end ! How they will strain every nerve, tax their resources to the utmost, impose on themselves burdens that would otherwise be intolerable, send forth their noblest sons that they may risk their lives fighting the battles of their country, and grate- fully erect their monuments on the spot where their dearest ones fell martyrs to the cause ! And we, with an object infinitely surpassing theirs in its importance and its issues — how do we act ? What are we doing for the greatest work which has engaged, or can engage, the attention of the universe ? A few of our young people go forth, in a truly heroic spirit, willingly saciificing their young lives for this end. We admire their heroism, no doubt, if we have not become callous and incapable of admiration ; we cherish theii- memories ; our thoughts hover lovingly over their graves. Some of our poor pinch themselves, and endiu-e hardships and privations, that out of their scanty means they may have something to give for this end. A few of our rich men — THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 175 oh, how few ! — give what may be called princely contributions, not thereby, perhaps, showing any greater self-denial than their poor neighbours ; for, after all they have given, they still, as a rule, retain enough to gratify every legitimate ambition, to supply every Avant, and satisfy every desu-e. But the great mass of us — what are we doing ? Oh, the discrepancy between our object and our efforts ! Oh, the unspeakable bathos of the descent from that to these ! The gifts of the gi'eat majority of contributors are not such as to cost them a single thought, to say nothing of privation or self-sacrifice. A mere trifle, which they do not miss in the smallest degree, given without any ques- tion as to what is required — that is aU they can do for the conversion of the world I Eecent annual reports show many breaks in the monotonous row of figures which at one time made up such a large part of the subscription-list — one following another like sheep, no less thought- lessly, the offerings of men in comparatively affluent circumstances, who spent ten times, or a hundred times, what they gave for some slight personal gratification which they could easily have dispensed with. A guinea used to be considered a very respectable contribution. Now there are many, happily, who cannot be content with that. But, t«?i happily, there are also many who have not yet reached it. The half of that, or even a smaller sum, is deemed sufficient by men who could just as easily make their shillings pounds. Can anything be more absurd than such gifts for such an object ? I tell you solemnly, brethren, I almost wish we had done with such gifts from such people — such heartless, meaningless contributions. They do us more harm than good. They burlesque the most sacred thing, reducing it to a con- temptible farce, producing the impression that the missionary movement is a thing of no consequence, or that its supporters do not believe in the object at which they ostensibly aim. This Centenary year, it may be hoped, will witness a great spring in these merely formal contributions. It is emphatically a time when we should obey the exhortation, "Enlarge the place of thy tent — lengthen thy cords." How far, who shall say? As regards the proposal to send out one hundred new missionaries, and raise the annual income of the iSociety to £100,000, we have no fault to find with it so far as it goes, but only to remark that we have no right to limit our efforts even to that. We may aim at a minimum ; but no maximum can properly be named. To fix arbitrary limits is to proceed on a wrong principle, assuming our right to dispose of what we have as we may see meet, and to detei-mine when we have done enough. Whereas our obligations are limited only by our ability. We may not stop either at one hundred missionaries or one thousand, if we can possibly send more. And inasmuch as for years to come, at least, oui- increased eflforts will not ■exhaust, but only reveal the extent of our resources, the exhortation of 176 O'HE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. the text will come to us with ever augmenting force, "Lengthen thy cords, strengthen thy stakes." The strengthening of the stakes means, of course, maintaining our ground And though it comes after the lengthening of the cords, it is in reality our fu-st duty. Our advance must not be made at the cost of deserting any post which we have deliberately and wisely chosen. The word retrenchment ought never to be heard among us. I was grieved and ashamed to find it hinted at recently. Believe me, brethren, it is not by a retrograde policy that you will balance your income and expenditure, but by rousing your churches to a greater liberality. Curtailment of effort is the directest way of shrivelling your income. If you tell the churches by your action that they are doing all they can, you will soon lead them to do less. Retrograding in one direction, although you advance in another, will cost you the loss of friends. Maintainiug your position, and extending your efforts, by showing the churches what is required of them — the confidence you have in your work, and in the sufficiency of their resources — will tend to evoke a larger generosity. Extension, of course, should not be recklessly attempted; but neither should it be timorously avoided. Zeal guided by wisdom, corn-age combined with caution, will secure for you the most liberal support. Do not hastily conclude that nothing can be done because "the churches have already reached the maximum of giving." If .the many will only catch the spirit of the few, your resources will soon be multiplied beyond your expectation. And they are catching it. Enthusiasm is infectious ; and many are already being moved by the doings of others. Those who have held aloof are becoming ashamed of themselves. Those who have given little, now that they see what their brethren give, are beginning to do likewise. The one guinea is put sadly out of counten- ance when it stands beside the ten given by one of similar or inferior circumstances, the ten beside the hundred, and the hundred beside the thousand. And so it comes to pass that men learn their duty from the example of their brethren. For are they not all under the same obliga- tion to Him who died for them ? The truth reiterated, insisted on, embodied in action, that the bringing of the world to God is our first duty, and our highest honour is being burned into the heart of the Chiu-ch, and not here and there only, but throughout all her borders, there will soon be such a measure of sanctified liberality as has never been witnessed. Through what channel it wUl flow is a matter of minor importance. Societies, I know, are not in favour with some. Committees are not supposed to do their work most efiiciently. But if there is to be united and regulated action, how can it be better secured than by a committee composed, as all committees ought to be, of the best, wisest, and ablest men which the churches contain ? And without under- valuing others, THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 177 we may fairly claim that a Society which has stood the test, and outlived the vicissitudes of one hundred years, is not less worthy of support than any of those which have not yet had time to prove that they are any- thing more than the mushroom growths of a later day. "We welcome them all. There is work enough for them all. We wish them all God- speed. But we cannot lightly withdraw our allegiance from that which has been so well tried, and in its translations of God's Word especially has done work by which many of the others profit, having thus laid the foundation on which they build, and sown the seed of which they reap the harvest. Knowing what the Society has done in the past, we regard that as the earnest of the greater things it may accomplish in the future. It would, however, be our joy to know that, whether through this or other organisations, the Church will more heartily than ever respond to the Divine call, "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations : spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes." Even now the Church of Christ, generally, is doing this to an extent previously unknown ; and every day is witnessing her further advance in this direction. When we read the history of the last hundred years, it requires no very strong faith to believe that, through all her sections and all her congregations, she will be pervaded and animated, aye, and dominated by the missionary spirit. Nothing can hinder it. The lising tide does not advance more surely and resistlessly than does the wave of missionary enthusiasm. The sim does not pursue his course from morning dawn to meridian splendour more steadily than our cause now progresses. If the shades of Carey and Fuller, and the little band who met in yonder parloiu- to launch this gloiious enterprise one hundred years ago, are now hovering over this assembly — and Avho shall say that they ai'e not ? — with what joy do they Avitness the mighty thing to which their cause has grown I With what assurance do they now anticipate its final triumph I If we may not envy them, we may at least aspire to share in their joy. May the mantles rest on us which they wore so worthily I May a double portion of their spirit be vouchsafed to us I O spirits of the mighty dead 1 we would share in your strong faith, your indomitable perseverance, your dauntless courage, your sublime enthusiasm. Ye are our witnesses that, God helping us, we this day resolve, with our larger means, and our multiplied encouragements, to carry on the work ye began so well, that we may share in the joy Avith which ye shall witness the glorious consummation, when "the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." 12 178 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. THE MISSIONARIES' MEETING. At six o'clock in the evening of the same day, the Pavilion was again filled with an enthusiastic audience assembled to hear addresses from a number of missionaries. After singing the hymn, " From Greenland's icy mountains," and prayer having been offered by the Rev. J. J. Fuller, of "West Africa, Mr. A. H. Baynes, the General Secretary, said : — I have received a telegram from our brethren of the Monmouthshire English Baptist Association to the following effect: — "To the Baptist Mission meeting in Kettering. — The annual assembly of the Monmouth- shire English Baptist Association meeting at Abersychan send warmest fraternal greetings to their dear brethren meeting in celebration of the Centenary of the Baptist Missionary Society in the good town of Ket- tering." I am sure we rejoice in this expression of brotherly interest and love. Now, my dear brethren and dear friends, I greatly rejoice in the gathering to-night, and I rejoice because we have such an inspiring congregation, and because we have eight real missionary speakers. I want you to hear them all, and I want this meeting to close at a quarter to nine o'clock, as we have no artificial light except that around me on the platform. In order to close at that time the speeches must be short, and I venture to suggest to my honoured brethren, the missionaries, that they should give us very little introduction, but should use the time in telling us what they themselves have seen of the wonder- working power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the regions beyond, and then I am sure this missionary gathering in Kettering will become a source of inspiration to all of us and a vast blessing to our churches. MR. W. R. RICKETT, the Treasurer of the Society, who presided, spoke as under : — If I were asked what has been the prevailing spiiit of the meetings of this week, I should say unhesitatingly, Thankfulness and Hopefulness. Personally I am very thankful for to-day, because it enables me for the first time to visit this town of Kettering, of which we have heard so much. It enables us all to mingle with one another in friendly greeting, and look one another in the face and take courage. We are thankful, very thank- ful, for the memory of William Carey, and for the spiiit of William THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 179 Carey which founded this Missionary Society. "Wo are thankful, too, that the spii-it of William Carey still prevails amongst us, and that in all parts of England it is increasingly prevalent. We are very thankful to know that the spirit of William Carey, which has continued to this day, is the spirit which shall actuate our Society in the days to come. We are thankful to know that the same God who was William Carey's God is ours ; that He has not changed during this last century ; that what Ho was then Ho is now. Then, as to the hopefulness, I feel we have every reason, from what we have seen and heard, to believe and to be sure that our work will go on, and that it will prosper. To-day we start another century, and, from the experience of the century which is now gone, we shall, I trust, take higher ground. It has been proved that the Gospel of the grace of God is able to meet the necessities of every living creature ; that every li^ang creature in the world is capable of being regenerated and made a new creature by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and, therefore, we hope that in the time to come it will prove the power of God unto the salvation of the whole world. This spirit of hopefulness, then, is to oai'ry ug forward in the century upon which we have now entered. We are to go forward as those who know what William Carey believed. Jt has been proved by demonstration to us that if we believe in Jesus Chi'ist our work shall prosper. William Carey's motto was, "Expect great things from God ; attempt great things for God." Our expec- tation is very high to-day. We have God our Father to go to and tc plead with on behalf of these perishing millions. We have Him to go to to show us our way, to inspire our hearts with His love and truth, and to give us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Going forward in this spii'it and in reliance upon God we feel that this is indeed a time of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. When our fathers prayed to God in the century passed they asked Him that He would graciously open for us doors into which we might enter. They are gone, but thoii" prayers are answered, and to-day we are embarrassed by the spheres of labour that are open to us. The prayers which they offered that God would give access to the peoples of the earth have been answered, and we have missionaries here to tell us that there is no part of the world into which we may not now enter with perfect safety. Our difficulties to-day are of another kind. We have the fields of the world open to us ; we have the Scriptures translated into the languages of the world ; we have men ready and willing to go forward, and our difficulty is that we have not the means adequate to the opportunities which are afforded us. We want this money; but money is not the chief thing that we want. We want our hearts re- inspired with the truth of God and with the perfect certainty that the whole earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord. We want to 12* 180 THE CENTENARY CELEBEATION. be satiirated with that assurance, and then we want every Christian man and woman in the world to be a supporter of this missionary enterprise ; every church member in every church in England and Wales to be a consistent subscriber to the funds of our Missionary Society, and I think one of our crusades in the time to come will be to seek to get eveiy member to subscribe to the Society. And whilst we want the Spirit of Christ to animate us in all our enter- prises, we must not despise the organisation which is needful to carry out that work. It will be necessary in the time to come to draw largely on the sympathies of the churches which belong to our Society and on the ministers who preside over those churches. Our hope is here : that, whereas our income at the present time is what it ia, it has risen by a very small contribution from a comparatively few members of the Society, and so there is a fine opening for us to increase our income and usefulness in the days to come. Then we hope, before we die, to see men and women offering to go out and undertake this blessed work at their own expense. I do not mean that they should go out without authority and without order or direction, but that they should come to the various societies and say, " Here ami ; I am ready to go forward if you will have me, and I will pay the cost atten- dant upon my going out as a missionary of your Society." And then we want large contributions from rich people, I do not know whether there are any persons here who are contemplating retirement from business, but if there are I would warn them against it. It is a very dangerous thing to do. If a man who has been in business all his life retires from it without having other resources, it is quite likely that he may very soon die. Now it is better to live and to work, and I would suggest to you that if you want a happy life you shall say, " I have made a sufficient competency, I will now for the remainder of my life be in business for the Baptist Missionary Society. And the profits of my business shall be devoted to that object." In so doing, you will find a great relish given to your lives. You will find a great object given to your enterprise, and you will find that the blessing of God Almighty will rest upon you. You will be in a measure and degree hastening the coming of the Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I could say a great deal more, but I shall not do so, because there are a gi-eat many speakers, and I am going- to give them a fair chance to be heard by you all. The hymn, beginning " All hail the power of Jesus' name," having been sung, THE EEV. W. J. PRICE said :— Mr. Chaii-man and Christian Friends, — The occasion suggests the theme, of my address. Natui-aUy, at these Centenary meetings, there wUl be a THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 181 review of the -work of the past one hundred years. This will be done in a general way in relation to all our fields of labour ; it will be done in particular by speakers representing those fields. I am, certainly, in the position of advantage in having to represent India, the hind on which interest specially centres as that where our Society first began its operations, for whose shores William Carey, "The apostle of modem missions," sailed nearly one hundred years ago; where he so assiduously laboured for upwards of forty years, and Avhere, in the quiet mission graveyard at Serampore, lie his mortal remains, under a tombstone which, by his own direction, bears the inscription : — • " A wretched, poor, and helpless worm, On Thy kind arms I fall." Would that I could more worthily represent that country, ever dear to Baptists by so many tender and hallowed memories, where some of our noblest men have laboured ; the brightest jewel in the diadem of our Queen, to which, as committed to us by a wonderful Providence, our nation is under peculiar obligations; where, blazing in tropical splendour, the heavens look down on a dense and surging population of our fellow- subjects, most of them still groping in the gloom and shadows and darkness of heathenism. What missionary who has laboured in that land but Avill say with Dr. Duff: "Wherever I wander, wherever I stay, my heart is in India, in deep sympathy with its multitudinous inhabi- tants, and in earnest longings for their highest welfare in time and eternity " ? Casting myself on your kind indulgence, permit me to rapidly review some of the more important aspects of missionary work in India, which, perhaps, may best be done by placing the pre- sent in contrast with the first years of Carey's missionary life. At the outset an important and general contrast may be noted in tht attitude of Christians at home towards formjn missions. This Centenary of our Society, which Carey was the chief instrument in forming, as well as of being its first representative abroad, reminds us how painfully slow our fathers were in taking in the idea of their obligation to preach the Gospel to the heathen, and how, only after years of patient effort to stir them up to a sense of duty, the Baptist Missionary Society had its humble beginning in the very place where we have the privilege of assembling, a place which, as the birth-place of the first Protestant Mis- sionary Society, will be regarded Avith increasing interest and veneration as the years roll by. In comparing the interest of the home chTU'ches in foreign missions with what was felt one hundred years ago there is not much room for congi-atulation. There is, no doubt, occasion for devout thankfuhiess ; but, as Mr. Baynes has so well put it, there is cause also for "devout discontent." Not yet has the Church risen to the height of this great argument. Hei- efforts for the salvation of the eight 182 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. hundred and fifty millions of tlie heathen world have been well compared by Dr. Pierson to those of a man attempting to put out a vast subter- ranean fire Avith a bucket of water. There is too much worldliness, too much luxury, too much apathy and indolence, and too much self-love in our churches to-day for the claims of Christ, and the needs of the perishing heathen to receive anything like the attention they demand. Yet he would be a gloomy hypochondiiac indeed who failed to thank- fully note the progress the missionary idea has made. Instead of one Society the Centenary of whose formation we are here to thankfully cele- brate, there are now nearly one hundred missionary societies in Great Britain, Europe, the United States, and Canada, and the oldest of them show no signs of decrepitude, but are constantly growing, while new ones are spiinging up and pressing forward into the field. Instead of the first two missionaries, Carey and Thomas, there are now four thousand seven hundred male and thi-ee thousand two hundred female missionaries. And that first modest collection of £13 2s. 6d. made in Mrs. Beeby Wallis's back parlour in this town has swollen into £2,700,000, the annual contribution last year of the Protestant churches of Europe and America to this great cause. The tiny rivulet of Carey's day has grown into a liver deep and broad, and shall still expand " Till, like a sea of glory, It spread from pole to pole ; Till o'er our ransomed nature, The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss returns to reign." For our Protestant missionary societies, with theii* increasing number of friends and supporters at home and of workers abroad, we praise Thee, OGod! Following the Hne of contrast with closer reference to the Indian field, we note a great change in the attitude of the Government of India toivards missionary work. You will remember that Carey found the rulers of India in his day, the East India Company, quite hostile to his work. This caused trouble before his departure, the missionaries not being allowed to proceed on the English ship on which they had embarked, and having to go in a Danish vessel quite against the mshes of the directors of the East India Company. Moreover, after arriving in the country you know how they were watched and suspected, but finally they found the refuge denied thera on British territory under the Danish flag at Serampore. How different the attitude of the Indian Government of to-day 1 In the presence of 80 many differing races and rehgions it must of coui'se maintain a position of religious neutrality, but it regards with no unfriendly eye the progi'ess of Christian missions in the land. No restrictions are placed upon the missionaries ; they are free to reside, travel, and labour any- THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 183 where. Their public services, and the benefits accruing from their labours, have received official recognition; and again and again, on their retm-n to this countrj', some of its highest officials have graced our mis- sionary platforms with their presence, and borne their willing testimony to the good effected by Christian missions. We note also with much satisfaction the improvement in the customs of the people of India since Carey's day. In one of his letters to Dr. Eyland, he describes the alarm and horror with which he once "wit- nessed a case of Suttee, or the immolation of a widow on the burning pile of her dead husband — a thing common enough at that time all over India. As I have stood on places where these cruel deeds were enacted I have felt thankful that Suttee is now almost entirely a thing of the past. Thuggee, a system by which bands of seci-et assassins, sworn together by an oath based on the rites of the bloody goddess Kali, roamed at large, and can-ied death everywhere, has been stamped out. Female Infanticide, bj' which thousands of innocent babes were put to death because they happened to be girls and not boys, has almost ceased. The Swinging Festivals, with their terrible cruelties, are no longer allowed. Juggei-nath's Car no longer crushes fanatical worshippers to death under its ponderous wheels. Human Sacrifices may no more be offered. A severe blow has recently been struck against the inhuman practice of Child Marriage. A sentiment is rising against the barbarities of the Hindu Widow System, which, we trust, wiU ultimately sweep it away. So, with very much still to mom-n over, the India of to-day is far different from the India kno%vn to Dr. Carey. In effecting these reforms the missionaries have been foremost ; and ultimately, by whatever instrumentality brought about, may they not be traced to the influence of Jesus Christ Y Again " Thou hast conquered, O Galilean ! " When Dr. Carey baptized his first Hindu convert, the missionaries exultingly said, "The chain of caste is broken; who shall mend it?" But they took a much too sanguine view of that event. Caste is still a powerful obstacle to the Gospel. If a man becomes a Christian, it still relentlessly cuts him off from family and friends for the whole of life. Yet even to this dark cloud there is a silver lining. While caste makes the number of baptized converts to Christianity comparatively few, Avithin its bomids there are thousands upon thousands of secret believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. For even caste cannot stop the pervasive, diffusive working of the leaven of Christian truth. And caste itself has had many sturdy blows, and has had -to yield in some directions. Before the attacks of Christianity and the spread of educa- tion it must ultimately fall. Hinduism does not stand as in Carey's day. To quote the words of Dr. Pentecost : " Cleumge is (joinrj on in the rock of Hinduism / it is splitting everywhere." Yes, that hoaiy system of idolatry that 184 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. successfully withstood the onslaught of Buddhism and Mohamme- danism shows signs of giving way before the impact of Christian missions and Western education. In some parts Hinduism has become fiercely intolerant, and every now and then there are instances of violent opposition, as at Tarakessur last year, where our brethren Summers and Edwards vrere stoned by an angry mob ; as at Ban- decoora, where a Wesleyan missionary narrowly escaped with his life ; as at Almorah, where the London Mission Church was attacked. But even this is hopeful, for it may be that the reptile turns on its pursuers because it is being driven up into a corner. It will not be surprising if more of this kind of thing takes place as Christianity comes into closer grip with Hinduism. An interested priesthood will not willingly lose theii- prestige and their gains. There can be no doubt, too, that there is still great enthusiasm for idolatry, though in many places it is followed rather from custom than from belief in its eflficacy. What the leaders of Hindu thought think of the situation may be gathered from the fact that only in March last a gi-eat conference was held at Benares for the purpose of considering what steps should be taken to preserve the ancient religion. As the result of prolonged deliberation, it was resolved to form a central society with associations all over the country for this object; to spend one day in universal prayer, "so that," to use their ov,-n words, "the eternal religion may be saved from the deplorable state to Avhich it has come down " ; to send forth preachers ; to establish schools, and to disseminate their sacred literature. If imitation is sincere flatter}', you will see these Hindu pundits pay a compliment to the methods employed by Christian missions. With such evidence of the approaching downfall of the idol gods of India, should we not be encoui^aged to prosecute our holy war '1 Our review would be incomplete if we did not take account of the large amount of preparatory work accomplished. The first missionaries were in a position of extreme helplessness in regard to the language. There were no grammars or dictionaries, and, it would seem, no prose literature. We know how Carey set himself to work to supply the deficiency. His work has been so improved on by scholarly successors that now the young missionarj' has ready to his hand just the help he needs for readily acquiring the languages of the people among whom he is called to labour. Then, when Carey began work in India, there was no translation of the Holy Scriptures, except in Tamil, a language spoken on the Corromandel coast. South India, the work of Danish missionaries in the early part of the century. We know with what prodigious laboui-s he set himself to the task of giving to the i)eoples of India the Word of God in their own tongues, and that so successful were his effoi-ts that before his death the entire Scriptures, or portions of them, had been translated into forty languages or dialects. Others have THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 185 entered upon these labours, such as Yates, Wenger, and Rouse, not to mention the scholars of other missionary bodies, so that now the young missionary finds the " sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God," all keen and bright awaiting his use in all the more important languages. And of these Scriptures the various mission presses are pouring forth large editions, which are being cast broadcast over the land. Our Calcutta Press alone printed last year 145,000 copies of the Scriptures, chiefly in portions, and this, I believe, was just the work of an ordinary year. And the Calcutta Auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society issued last year, whole or in part, 116,000 copies of the Scriptures. Then the young missionary finds that labourers before him have explored the labyrinths of Hinduism, and made known its most secret, most saci'ed counsels. The same thing has been done Avith reference to Islam, and thus he is enabled to acquire a knowledge of the religions of the country, and the best ways of meeting them — a matter of very great importance. There is also a gi'owing Christian literature of the constructive kind wherein Christian truth is presented in ways suited to the Oriental mind. By the dis- semination of such literature, by the instrumentality of Christian schools, and chiefly by widespread and persistent preaching, not only have very many been brought to the saving knowledge of Christ, but a great deal has been done to enlighten the people, to break down prejudices, to remove errors, to imbue them with Gospel truth, and so to prepare the soil for future harvests. Still following out the line of contrast, Ave observe that Carey must often have been oppressed as he considered the vastness of the field and the fewness of the labourers. And still the heart of the mis- sionary is burdened as he journeys through villages, and towns, and even Avhole districts Avhere there is no Avitness for Christ. Yet it is cheering to know that there is an increasing nitmher of missiovaries. In our OAvn Mission, Carey and Thomas, the tAvo pioneer missionaries, have multiplied into fifty-four, while in all the Protestant missionary societies there are probably betAveen seven and eight hundred missionaries scattered up and doAvai the land. And Avhen speaking of the number of missionaries we must take account of that most interesting and promising branch of the Avork, theZerana Mission. Before the ladies began their AVork in India, the missionary enterprise AA^as pretty much like a boat Avith one oar, or a cart Avith one Avheel revolA-ing Avhile the other stuck fast in a rut. The missionaries were reaching the male part of the population, but the female i:)ortion remained, to a large extent, untouched. The Zenana Mission came as the attempt of the Christian Church to meet a need arising out of the conditions of the social life of Indian females, and is a remarkable instance of the jjower of Christianity to adapt itself to the situation of 186 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. those whom it aims to reach. And in carrying the Gospel to the imprisoned inmates of the Zenanas, in providing schools for the ^instruc- tion of girls, and in administering much-needed medical help our lady missionaries are rendering valuable service. They worthily represent the good Samaritanism of the Gospel, and very far-reaching and potent is the influence they are wielding. The strength of the great false systems we combat in India is not so much in their caste or philosophies, or in an interested priesthood, as in the homes, in the wives and mothers of the land. In these homes ignorance reigns supreme. The Indian proverb, " Ignorance is a jewel to a woman," represents a sentiment that has had, and is having, a most baneful effect. Only one woman in every two hundred and fifty can read and write, and only one female out of one thousand two hundred and eighty-five is under instruction. These neglected ones our sisters are reaching to some extent. I suppose there are now probably some five to six hundi-ed lady workers, with about four times that number of native helpers, and with probably one hundred thousand pupils. Blest be this effort to reach the women of India, whose biography Dr. Pierson so tersely says, may be described in five words: ^'Unwelcome at birth, untaught in childhood, uncherisJied in widowhood, unprotected in old age, unlamented when dead." What won- der that many of them prefer death rather than life I A Calcutta native paper recently called attention to the large number of female suicides by hanging, drowning, or opium. Since Dr. Carey's time the Indian Sunday-school has risen to great influence. Sunday-schools for the- instniction of the children of our converts were indeed no new thing, but that the Sunday-school could be used for aggressive missionary work came as a surprise to many. I believe our American brethren, with their usual inventiveness, were the first to lead in this work, with the result that to-day, in all parts of the mission- field, the Sunday-school takes its place as a recognised form of missionary service. And by its means we are reaching many of the Hindu and Mohammedan children, who, for inducements less than those held out to English children, crowd into our schools. It is delightful to hear them sing our Christian hymns, read and repeat from memory the Scriptures, and learn to follow us in prayer. Some of my happiest hours in India have been spent in the Sunday-school. We have now an Indian Sunday-school Union, supported by all the Evangelical societies. Its energetic and ubiquitous secretary. Dr. J. L. Phillips, is a Baptist brother greatly beloved, and by his exertions the movement is extending in all directions. As an instance of the good effected by this agency I Avill quote the testimony of Dr. Parker, of Lucknow, who said, only the other day, that thousands of those who had come out from Hinduism, and accepted Christianity during the past year in connection with his Mission, had been in their Sunday-schools for years. THE MEETINGS AT KETTEKING. 187 The last and chief item of our review is the native church. Carey, we know, had to labour on in patience and hope for seven years without a single convert. It is touching to read of the joyous excitement mth which the first convert, Krishna Pal, Avas baptized. "Now," said the missionaries, "the door of faith is opened to the Gentiles, who shall shut it ? The chain of caste is broken, who shall mend it?" Not to speak of the great number who, from India, have risen to join the Church triumphant above\ that one convert is now represented by probably three-quarters of a million, and with victorious strides, though yet in its day of small things, the Indian native Church is gaining on the rapidly increasing population at the rate of ten per cent, per decade. Moreover, during the past year or so, a very significant movement of whole communities of low-caste people towards Christianity has been going on in several parts of India, and in connection A\dth different missions, with the result that many thousands have been added to the Christian community. As this movement is still going on amongst castes which aggregate many millions of people, there is hope of a vast increase. And thus in India, as in other lands, it shall be seen that God chooses the simple and the lowly as the recipients of His grace. These converts are at once our greatest joy and oui" heaviest burden — our joy, for there is no pleasure so sweet as that of leading a poor heathen to Christ ; our burden, for we watch their course with paternal anxiety, as we say, "Now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord." Enfeebled by centuries of thraldom to foreign sway, our native Christians do not commonly show the independence of the converts of other lands. But this is a blessing which the Gospel will also biing in its train, and evidences are not wanting of a spiiit of greater cotu-age and self-reliance. There is among oui- native Christians generally a growing desire for knowledge, and in proportion to their numbers there are more educated men among them than among Hindus, or Mohammedans, or any other community of people. A large proportion of them are members of churches — the tables of the last Decennial Conference gave the proportion as one in every four — a fact that speaks much for their quality. They give liberally, considering their great poverty. The tables before referred to showed an average of nearly four shillings per annum given by every church member for church purposes. They pray earnestly. It is delight- ful sometimes to listen to the simple, child-like prayers of native converts. In one of our stations some time ago there were many conversions, and the confidence of the missionary in the genuineness of the work not being shared by his brethren, a deputation was sent to examine it. Their ques- tions to the converts failing to elicit satisfactory replies, the deputation would have returned with an adverse report, had not one of the converts, who saw their disappointment, said, "We cannot answer your questions, but will you let us pray ? " And as those men, erewhile idolaters, knelt, 188 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. and one aftei the otlicr offered theii* simple, fervent prayers, tears came into the eyes of the missionaries, and they returned to report that the work was e\adently of God. Here our review mvist end. Is there not cause for great thankfulness to God who has so manifestly blessed the labours of His servants and answered their prayers ? Is it not evident that He has wrought with us in the power of His Spirit, and in His all- wise Providence? In obedience to our Lord's command we have gone forth to preach the Gospel, and His promise, " Lo, I am with you alway," has been abundantly fulfilled. Is not the outlook of our Indian Mission bright and encouraging ? Never has it held such a position of advantage as" to-day. Add to the matters of encouragement already mentioned a few others, such as the improved communication tvith the country, so that we get there in three Aveeks instead of five months ; in the country, which is rapidly being covered with railroads, by which God has not only prepared highways for the feet of His messengers, but also swift chariots for their use. The advance of education, of English education, and the spread in so remarkable a manner of the English language, by which, as well as by missionary operations, the people are prepared for the Gospel. Our stores of accumulated experience, which those may set aside who will, we shall do well to heed, and so best save and use the means and men God places at our disposal, and ensure continued and efficient work. The amalgamation of our two English Baptist Missionary Societies in India, which promises all the advantages that come of Christian union ; the improved organisation of our Indian Mission, the result of the last visit to India of ovir beloved Secretary, Mr. Baynes, by which our scattered forces are being concentrated upon specially needy and promising fields, and by which there will be less isolation, and more union in counsel and work among all the missionary brethren — with so much that is hopeful and promising ; with the splendid traditions of the past ; with promises of Gospel triumph of radiant brightness ; with the same faithful God ; the same ever-present Lord ; the same mighty Spirit working in us and by us ; the same glorious Gospel ; and the same deep yearning human need, which nothing else can satisfy ; should we not be encouraged to go forward ? Yes, " forward," though there are difficulties not to be passed over or minimised. The country is immense, the population densely numerous, and held in iron bonds of caste and custom. There is still great ignorance, great superstition, and great enthusiasm for idolatry. And, as might be expected among a people whose gods many of them are the personifications of avarice, falsehood, lust, and crime, and whoso sacred books, containing the histories of these gods, are full of all-defilLng abominations, there is abounding falsehood and hypocrisy, grasping covetousness, and gross impurity. Sensual and so THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 189 opposed to a spiritual religion, credulous as theosophists, and, like them, full of unbelief for those things which present the fullest and fairest ■wan-ant for faith, they are by no means easUy brought to Christ. Then there are troubles with the native Christians, for when you have made a man a Christian you have not done with him. Done ! You have only just begun. You have to go on to teach him to observe all things whatsoever Christ has commanded us, and a poor dark heathen has much to leam, and more to unlearn, and often the process is heai-t-breakingly slow. And when you add to these and other difficidties the circumstance that all your work has to be done inan eneiwating climate, under the blaze of a tropical sun, and that you are to a large extent deprived of the privileges and inspirations of Christian society, you have an outline of some of the difficulties and discouragements attending the work. It is only fair that I should show you the dark side of the shield ; having done so, I still say forward, to suffer, to dare, to do for Christ. Forward, for much remains to be done. Two hundred and eighty-five millions of the people of India wait to be converted to the Christian faith, the hulk of them to hear the Gospel for the first time. But how shall they hear without a preacher ? In one of our districts in Northern Bengal, our brethren Ellison, Davies, Beavan, and W. B. James are sighing over ten millions of people, among whom they are the only missionaries I Well may Dr. Pentecost say, "Will Christians remember that, instead of calling out insanely and ignorantly for more converts, they should be sending out in ever-increasing numbers more labom-ers into this field, where the harvest is ripening, and in many places rotting on the ground for the lack of reapers and harvesters "r* " Yes, we should be sending out in ever-increasing numbers more labourers, for "how shall they preach except they be sent?" Ultimately it is, of course, God who sends, He does so through His people, and He moves no faster than they move. To find out, equip, send forth, and sustain God-called men is the Church's work. And so I remind you of one of the great objects of our Centenary Thanksgiving Fund — viz., "the outfit, passage, and probation of one hundred new missionaries mainly for India, China, and Congo Missions." Certainly in India we must have more missionaries. From Orissa, from Bengal, from the North-West Provinces, there are urgent appeals for reinforcements. In our Indian Missionary Conference of 1S90, we drew up and forwarded to the Committee an earnest petition for more missionaries. That appeal has been in the hands of the Committee for nearly a year and a half, but not one has been sent. In kind intentions and on paper our forces have indeed been considerably auginontcd, but somehov/ this does not satisfy us, and I am here, in the name of my bi'cthren on the field, to ask you to enable the Committee, both by your gifts and your offers of service, to carry out these kind intentions, and to convert these reinforcements on paper into real reinforcements of 190 THE CENTENAEY CELEBBATION. flesh, and blood, bone and muscle— of big hearts and cultured minds — into men with one passion, and that Christ, and one aim, and that the glory of God in the salvation of souls. Excuse me if I say there must be no delay — some new missionaries we must have this autumn. New missionaries for India this autumn is my cry, is the cry of the brethren who are fighting the battle there against terrible odds ; let it be taken up in all our churches, in our colleges, and among all our young men and women. And let the prayer continually ascend: O, Thou Lord of the harvest, send forth labourers into Thine harvest, that the world may be reaped for Thee. The next speaker was THE REV. H. A. LAPHAM, of Ceylon, who said : — ■ I suppose that I owe the undeserved honour of my position as a speaker at this important meeting to the fact that I am fresh from Ceylon, and able to give first-hand information about the island and our mission work there, and that I may regard myself as, for the time being, the representative of the interests of the much-maligned people of the Spice Island, who appear to be popularly regarded as "vile" above all other men on the authority of Bishop Heber, who says : — " Where every prospect pleases, and only man is vile," Now, Sir, while the words of the good Bishop about man in Ceylon may be fairly regarded as open to criticism and objection on the score of severity, his language in allusion to the natural beauties of the island, though suggestive of much that is delightful, is in nowise exaggerated. Indeed, all attempts at description seem commonplace and futile, and all ordinary adjectives seem beggarly to one who has lived in the island and has been accustomed to look day after day upon the varied scenes of her inexpressible loveliness. Lanka wa, literally " The Eesplendent," is her vernacular name, and right worthy is she to wear it ; for from where, in the centre, she lifts her crest, Pedrotalagalla, 8,000 feet high, right doMTi to where her ample skirts are kissed by the waters of the Indian Ocean, there is not one threadbare patch upon her emerald robe ; not one spot of Nature where there is temptation to say "This is unlovely," but, instead, a succession of scenes that inspii-e the feeling that here Ave have arrived at the Ultima Thule of the beautiful; that beyond this lovelier cannot be expected, scarcely even imagined ; that here the ravishment of dream has been outdone by reality. "The Emerald Isle of the East," " The Gem of the Indian Ocean," " A Pearl dropped from the Brow of India," Ceylon has ever been " Confessed the best and brightest gem qf Britain's Orient diadem." THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 191 The ideas of many EngUshmen about Ceylon are very vague, and generally wide of the facts of the case. Many think of it as an island that could be crossed in a hop, skip, and jump, or that, at largest, it may be about the size of the Isle of "Wight, instead of, as in reality, contain- ing an area of 25,000 square miles, and supporting a population of 3,000,000. Others, confusing East with West Indies, imagine that it is to be found in the close neighbourhood of Jamaica. Others, famUiar with atlas, but not seeking light from geography book or cyclopeedia, are misled by its proximity to India to think of it as forming an integral part of our great Indian Empire. Some of my audience to-night may be sm*prised that the Missionary Society should deem it needful to have Ceylon represented here as distinct from India. But the Society always has regarded Ceylon as a separate mission-field, and treats us as a sphere distinct from India. And herein they follow no mean or unimportant lead. They follow the lead of natui-e, of ethnology, and the more practical lead of the British Government, which treats Ceylon as Britain's Preniier Cro-wm Colony, and gives it a governor responsible only to the Secretary of State for the Colonies. But there are religious reasons like- wise for thus regarding Ceylon as a separate field, for the island is the stronghold and citadel of the only non-theistic religion that is living and aggressive. Buddhism, though a religion of Indian birth, though at one pei-iod it overran almost the whole of India, and promised to weld together the various races of that huge continent in the bond of a common religion, is practically non-existent in India now. It has been re- conquered by Brahmanism, and what Brahmanism has failed to wrest from it Mohammedanism has won. Our Indian missionaries have to reckon seriously wdth Hinduism, and they still find in Islam a powerful opponent, but Buddhism is a spent force. But in Ceylon it is altogether different. Buddhism early took deep root there, and its hold has never been seriously relaxed. It is the professed religion of the mass of the people, supported not only by wealthy endowments, but by large free- will offerings. The Temple of the Sacred Tooth at Kandy is an object of veneration to Buddhists all over the world. Thither wend constant streams of pilgrims, not only from the interior villages, but also from India, Burmah, Siam, China, and Japan. From Ceylon Buddhist missioners go forth to those countries that He eastward for the purpose of stimulating the flagging faith and rekindling the dying zeal of their religionists there. And it is from Ceylon that Buddhism, thinly dis- guised under the name of Theosophy, has penetrated to the cidtured and civUised nations of the West, and has secured no mean or inconsiderable triumphs in Germany, England, and America. I do not know whether there is anything in an insular situation that is specially conducive to tenacity of faith in religious ideas that have once been welcomed, but certain it is that in many remarkable points that little isle of the Eastera 102 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. seas has played a part in the history of Buddhism closely resembling the part that Britain has played in the grander developments of the history of Christianity. A foreign religion, preached by foreigners, Buddhism early found a home there which it has never lost ; its teachings are there more purely held and more intelligently interpreted than in any other place ; it has retained the allegiance of the people, though the land from which it originally came has reverted to former faiths ; it has left a more legible imprint on the national character than on the character of any other people. If it is worth while to enter into conflict with this system at all ; if we feel it incumbent upon us to attempt to secui-e for Jesus the Christ the homage which hundreds of millions of men now pay to Gautama, the Buddha, Ceylon above all other Buddhist countries invites us as a fitting field on which to win the first victories of our crusade. But is it worth our while to attempt this at all ? "With Fetishism rampant in Africa, and Hinduism, drawing caste and the degradation of woman in its train, dominant in India, is it wise of us to divert our slender resources to the overthrow of this pure form of the old-wisdom religion of the world? I think I hear some say, "Do not let us be misled by the sincere but narrow enthusiasm of our missionaries into thinking that we can exalt Christianity by disparaging all other systems, or that everything non-Christian is evil." A very right sentiment, which ninety-nine out of every hundred of your missionaries would applaud ; for if you knew missionaries as I do, knew them as they are and not as they are caricatured, you would find that, far from being narrow-minded, opinionated bigots, they are men gifted with quite an average amount of common sense, and a large measure of Christian generosity to boot. Now, judging Buddhism in a Christly spirit of generosity — meting out to it the measure that we would have measured to us again — what can we say about it ? Well, I wish to say this — that Buddhism has a glorious history, and has left a beneficent mark on the peoples of the East. Buddhism is now an extinct volcano ; at any rate, its fires are feeble and intermittent. But once it was in active eruption, the centre of a convulsion that shook the Eastern world. We can still trace the line of its upheavals, and in Ceylon the channels cut by its streams of burning lava are still discerned. From its effects, then, we may learn that it was a force antagonistic to asceticism, antagonistic to caste, but helpful to the uplifting of womanhood. Gautama was trained in Brahmanism, and in early days sought peace in the practice of asceticism ; but at a defined period of his history he abandoned those practices, and never reverted to them again, as is evidenced by the fact that his death was induced by over-indulgence of his partiality for pork. Again, caste is a very different thing in Ceylon from what it is in India. It is a social, not a religious, institution. A man does not lose his caste by THE MEETINGS AT KKTTERIIfG. lD3 changing his religion, neither does he become a religious paiiah by breaking his caste (if that be possible). In short, caste in Ceylon is just a more rigid version of class distinctions as they obtain in England. Again, the position of woman in Ceylon is vastly better than in India. There is no such thing as a Singhalese zenana. They do not make the home a prison, and impose on the women, when they walk abroad, the indignity of the purdah system. Women Avalk the streets with face uncovered. The male missionary is allowed to enter the house when husbands, brothers, and sons are absent. He talks as freely to the Women as to the men, and they talk as freely (sometimes more so) to him. The wife enjoys a goodly measure of equality with the husband. The word used for " wife" over a large part of the island signifies hterally ' ' lord of the house ' ' ; and she is as sovereign in her domestic domain as the husband is in the domain of his business. The power that has ^\Tought these beneficent changes for millions of people claims our unstinted respect. But what of the Buddhism of the present day ? Well, in Buddhist books are still preserved some exalted and pure maxims of morality, though their number has been greatly eA:aggerated by some authorities. But Buddhism to-day suffers from thi-ee glaring and most damaging defects. Firstly, it is miserably deficient in power to uplift its followers* lives to even an approximation to its own best teaching. Secondly, it creates a number of artificial sins, teaching that such actions as th6 taking of animal life (for food or in self-defence) and the use (as distinct from the abuse) of intoxicating liquors are moral crimes of the same blackness and in the same category as lying, murder, theft, and adultery. It thus confuses men's consciences, and dims the essential distinction of right and Avrong. Thirdly, Buddhism is one vast system of negations — of hope-destroijim] negations : " There is no God ; " "There ia none higher than man, therefore prayer is a folly;" "There is no. redemption except by a man's own exertions;" "There is, and there can be, no forgiveness." One day I was walking, in comjiany Avith an^ EngUsh gentleman, through a thriving native village, and as he saW the outward peace and contentment of the people, he turned to me and said, " It must require a strong belief in damnation to find a missionary work to do among these people." But surely Ave, who know floni c'xperieiice what intenser joy the knowledge of forgiveness pours into the most joyous life — Avho appreciate our privilege of prayer above the price of gold — who have life transformed for us by Christ's revelation of the Heavenly' Father — do not need the stimulus of a behef in an eternal hell for the heathen to induce us to caiTy the Bible and its life-brightening truths to these fellow- men, who are literally "without God, wthout hope," and without heavenly comfort in the world — who deem them- selves to be ground between the upper millstone of Fate and the nether 13 194 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATlOIf. millstone of tlieii' own weakness, without a Succourer, without a Divine Friend, to hear the cry of their agony, without the solace of the convic- tion that Love knows all and Love guides all. And now, Avhat has the Christian Church done in this island, where the Gospel of God's pity and pardon is so sorely needed ? Well, we Baptists were pioneers there — pioneers, that is, of modern Protestant missions there ^as well as in many other fields. We began in 1812, our fii-st missionary being Mr. Chater. Within a few years we were joined by the Church Mission and by the Wesleyan Mission. Some time subsequently the American Presbyterians joined in the work, confining their operations, however, to the Tamils in the north. About ten years ago the Salvation Army heard a ciy from our Macedonia, and came over to help us. Still more recently, an unsectarian society growing out of the Keswick Con- vention has chosen Ceylon for its field, and has already landed several bands there, chiefly ladies. It must be admitted that an island, whose greatest length is 270 miles, and whose greatest breadth 140 miles, offers but a cramped sphere for the operations of so many societies, besides an Anglican bishop and several chaplains ; but I am glad to report that, though friction is unavoidable, it has been reduced to a minimum by the hearty goodwill and mutual kindUness which have always, and especi- ally of late years, characterised the relations of the various societies. Though we were first on the field, our Society is numerically the "Weakest of the older societies; for Avhile we only profess to keep a Btaflf of three or four missionaries, the Church Missionary Society and Wesleyan Missionary Society support (each of them) three or four times the number ; and while they have no difficulty and lose no time in filling up vacancies that occur, we have, most of the time, only two men on the field, and our number often dwindles, as at the present time, to one. But I can claim that our Society has been served by a succession of ttorthi/ men. I cannot mention all, but I may be permitted, on this historic occasion, to name Chater, our pioneer, indefatigable in industry, and proving himself to be a Avise master builder in the way he laid foundations for subsequent work; Daniell, apostolic in spkit and methods, whose memoiy is still fragrant among native Christians of every society, and whose itinerating zeal led to the establishment of numerous village churches in the district round Colombo ; AUen, the per- sonification of vigour and hard-headedness ; Carter, scholarly, learned in Hebrew and Greek, translator of the Scriptures, lexicographer, acknow- ledged prince of vernacular preachers ; and Waldock, now our solitary representative on the field, architect not only of a score of neat and sub- stantial sanctuaries, but, under God, of many a spiiitual edifice likewise. These are men, to be served by whom any society might consider itself privileged — men whose talents and ooneecration would have graced a ministry anywhere. THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 195 And what measure of success have these men, together with men of similar mould belonging to other societies, achieved in Ceylon 'i I'll first give you a few statistics. These have been kindly furnished to me by Mr. John Ferguson, one of the editors of the L\[ilon Observer, and an authority of highest reputation all over the East on statistical matters. His estimate, based on the published returns of last year's census, is that in Ceylon there are NO, 000 Protestant Christians. Eighty thousand in eighty years' work, an average rate of 1,000 a year, leaving out of the reckoning those who have gone before, and whose names no longer appear on church rolls on earth, but are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Reckoning Eoman Catholics, who are much in the majority, there are yoO,000 Christians out of 3,000,000 inhabitants — that is, one-tenth of the population is Chiistian, nominally. Our Society's statistics show poorly in comparison with this aggregate. Oiu- membership last year was 1,071, but we have 1,(300 children in our Sunday-schools. This estimate of membership, however, was framed with ligid accm-acy, after a somewhat severe revision of the church lists. It includes onlu haiiiized htliecera, not nominal adherents or regular attendants merely ; neither does it include a number of scattered Baptists and isolated Baptist communities, whose wde separation from oiu' mission districts renders inclusion in our mission work imijossible. If all these were added, the number given woidd have to be multiijhed, perhaps threefold. Leaving statistics, what shall I say about the general condition of the work in the island, and the prospects of the Kingdom of God h It is a matter difficult to estimate. Every expression of hope has to be qualified by so many considerations ; to every criticism fairness requires us to append so many off- sets. Our very advantages have their reverse side. That Christianity has been the religion of the confessedly superior race ; that dm-ing Portuguese, Dutch, and for a long time during EngUsh rule, it was the "Govenuuent religion " ; that entrance into the Chi-istian Church means a distinct social rise for the convert ; that Buddhism is so tolerant and so little dis- posed to persecute — these are not unmixed benefits. Nothing so roots a man's faith into his very being like the demand for sacrifice, self-denial, sufferuig ; and if the faith of our converts largely lacks \drility, it is because of the absence of these invigorating elements from the atmosphere they breathe. The very sympathy extended to them so generously by the missionaries, societies, and churches has helloed to retard independence and spontaneity. As Rev. >S. A. Barnett, in his recent most judicial and Avise article in the Cunk'ia2"jrar>/, jjoints out, there are native churches, but no native church ; there are some self-supjjorting chiirches, but on the part of the majority a cramping reliance on the missionaiy and the supposedly omnipotent Society at his back. Our missionaries have felt this so keenly that, Avith the consent of the committee and the concurrence of the 13* 196- THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. native churclies, they have made arrangements for launching all our churches in Ceylon on a coui-se of self-help from the year 1893. This is an important new departure, and is viewed somewhat anxiously by most of us. I trust that the independence of the churches may be made absolute and real, come weal or come woe. Probably at first we may witness confusions, disorders, blind stumblings, even grave faults, which may lead the timid to tremble for the Ark of God ; but we must place our faith in principles, and I, for one, believe that in proportion as the self-help is rigidly enforced will be the benefits ultimately accruing, and that not the least of those benefits will be a long stride in the direction of forming a purely native church, a Singhalese church — no longer an exotic growth, but embodying the spirit and genius of Christianity, the teachings of the New Testament in native forms of thought, worship, and government ; and if ever that native church is realised, it will be more powerful for the Kingdom of God than all our missionaries. The next speaker the Chaimian called upon to address the lueetiiig was THE REV. J. S. AVHITEVVRIGHT, of Tsing-chow-foo, who said :^ It is with pleasure I tell you soniething about China and our work there. Protestant mission work in China on any scale is of very recent growth. Though the first missionary landed there in 1807, it is only within the last thirty years or so that the interior has been at all oi»ened up, and even now in many i^arts of China it is exceedingly diihcult to obtain a footing. The difficulties in the way of preaching in Chuia have been and are still manyi There are the suspicion and hatred of all foreigners, of which we have jiractical examples in the riots and dis- turbances of last year. To the average Chinaman the " foreign barbarian " is a very dangerous man, a man with very evil designs on China and the Chinese. The foulest slanders about ChristiLins and Christianity are freely circulated throughout the Empu'e. Books and pamphlets are sent abroad by the anti-foreign party in China which contain language so foul and horrible that wo hardly dare translate them. As so many of the peoiile have never had an opi)ortunity, by coming into personal contact with Europeans or Americans, of learning the falsity of these statements, they arc implicitly believed by vast lunubers. Then there is the pride of the Chinese. They are, without doubt, the proudest ijeople in the world. The maps of China represent the Chinese Empire as occupying nearly the whole of the habitable earth, while on the fringe of the Empire are a few barbarian peoples, including, of course, ourselves, who all ought to be tributary to the majesty of China. There is the apathy of the Chinese. They are content with a wrong kmd of contentment. They have no THE MEETTNfiS AT KETTERING. 197 desire to advance ; tlioy hclievo they have got so far that they need go no farther. As to the reasons for this apathy, no douht race, climate, tSrc, account for some of it, but to me the great reason is their lack of Chris- tianity. Confucianism is a sj'stem of morals with little or nothing of religious teaching. Buddhism, or a form of it, which is the religion of the mass of the people, has no life-giving power. What stimiilus is there for men to seek to rise to higher and nobler things if all is to end, as Buddhism tells them, in Nirvana, in nothingness ? As it has been well said. Buddhism is the religion of pessimism and despair. Under such a system there can be no progress, only apathy, retrogi-cssion, and decaj'. There ai-e those who tell us that one religion is as good as another, and that we should leave the Chinese to their o-\vn religions as good enough for and as suited to them. We are referred to the beautiful precepts of their sacred books, and we arc told that people with knowledge such as that do not need Chiistianity. In travelling through the cities and towns and villages of China, if you merely read the beautifid moral maxims posted on the doors and over the windows — maxims such as, " Let righteousness be your chief aim," over the doors of the shops, " Let righteous doing stand before the making of money "—if you read these and many like precepts, and shut your eyes to all else beside, you might think you had alighted on Paradise regained. If you looked to the beautiful quotations from their classics upon the lips of some Chinese teacher — words of wonderful morality and exalted teaching — and if you could shut your eyes to all else besides, you woidd be yet more confirmed in your belief. But when you go into the place of business, and they lie to you and cheat j'ou shamelessly at every turn, and forget all about the beautiful precepts on their door-posts, and when you say farewell to the teacher whose quotations from the sacred books have so charmed you, and you hear his children at their play using language so foul that I could not translate it to you even if I wished, then you see that only too much of their boasted morality is only a gilded sham. You perceive that Confucianism, though it can teach morality, does not enable men to live morally ; that it can piit beautiful maxims into their mouths, but cannot regenerate their hearts and lives. But I should like to say something, too, about the more encoui-aging side of the picture. The Chinese have ruany good points. The more I know the Chinese, the more I admire and respect them. I have lived long in China. China is my adopted country, and I should like to say a little about my countrymen on the blighter side. In no country in the world is old age more reverenced than in China. They " rise up before the hoary head." China is' one of the oldest empires in the world ; there children honour their parents, and the days have been long in the land which the Lord God has given them. The Chinese are a courteous people. John Bull when l;e does a nice thing does not always do it in 198 THE CENTEKATiy CELEBRATION. tte nicest way, but John Chinaman always does a nice thing in a nice way. He is courteous and polite at all times. They are a temperate people in their use of intoxicating drinks. I have seen more intoxicated men in England in ten minutes than I have in ten years in Cliina. It is amongst this wonderful people— full of prejudice against everything not Chinese, despising and hating the foreigner and all his ways, regarding with wonder the idea that anyone should dream of coming to teach them, proud of their ancient civilisation and culture, slow to move, content with themselves, yet with many good points, courteous, affable, tem- perate, filial to parents, respectful to old age— that we are labouring to make known Christ and His salvation. What are the results of the work that has been done ? Forty years ago there was a mere handful of converts ; to-day there are nearly forty thousand. In our own Mission in the province of Shantung, fifteen years ago there were no converts ; to-day there are over fifteen hundred worshippers of the true God. But mere statistics give a veiy poor idea of what has been done and what is being done. Human arithmetic can- not measure or express in any way moral and spiritual results. Some- times the progress is best and most real and lasting when there appears to be little or no progress at all. At one time, about seven or eight years ago, our work seemed to be almost at a standstill, so far as progress that could be tabulated was concerned. A wave of persecution passed over the little chui'ches, and very few dared to come oiit openly and join themselves with the Christians. But those of us in the field jvidged (and events proved that we judged rightly) that very real progress was being made. The little churches were standing firm ; they were being braced up for higher service; they were taking root downwards firmly, and progress upward and outward was only a matter of time. The Church did not only stand firm, but spread and grew. News comes to us from China that over five hundred have been recently baptized, all of whom have been on probation for a considerable time. Not long after I went to China, ten j'ears ago, my senior colleague, Mr. Jones, was lamenting to me the slow progress that had been made at a village where he had resided for a long time. I knew that he had suffered much bitter perse- cution in the early days of our Mission at the hands of the people of that place. He had, indeed, at one time been driven out of that village at the risk of his life. But in spite of all that had been done and suff'ered, the little church of about twenty-five members only seemed to hold its own and make no progress. A few days after our conveisation I was speaking to a Chinese gentleman, himself an inquirer, who came from the neighbourhood of that village. I said to him, "The church there is making no progress, I understand." He looked at me in astonish- ment. "What, no progress do you sayp Why, a year or two ago, at the temple close by the place where the church meets, a gi-eat pile of THE MEliTINGS AT KETTERING. 199 incense was burnt ; this year the pile was only a few inches high. The Christians nsod to be hated and despised l>y the people, and were in danger of being driven from the village altogether, but now they aro regarded ^vith respect. When there is a difficidty or quarrel in the village, it is now no uncommon thing to hear it said, ' Send for a Christian to speak peace.' The Christians are known as peacemakers and as good people. Is not that progress, and real progress ? " he said, I think you will agree mth me that this Chinaman had the right view of what progress is, and that we, when we heard what the little church was doing, and of its influence for good, thanked God and took courage. Though the progress of the woik at times api^cars slow, we work in the sure and certain hope that China will be won for Christ. We knoy\' that triumph is certain, for we folloAV a Captain who always leads to victory. What Christianity has done for England, that it will do for Cliina, and far more, for its blessed influences are not yet fidly felt even in this Christian land. Christianity means the material prospeiity of China, for the religion of Christ has the promise of the life that now is as well as of the life that is to come. It means the opening up of the great mineral resources of the country, which are now closed for want of proper methods or from superstitious fears of evil influences. It means the giving to China all the appliances of modern Christian civilisation. When China is Christian, famine, gaunt and grim, will no longer stalk over the land slaj-ing its millions, for right means, as in all Christian lands, will be used to check or mitigate these disasteis. Christianity will give freedom from the bondage of superstitions that follow the China- man from the cradle to the grave, that check and dwarf and stunt his whole life. It means that bribery and conuption A\'ill be banished fiom the hall of justice, and that there shall be one law for rich and poor alike. The religion of Christ will elevate the downtrodden women of China ; it will utterly abolish the cruel abomination of foot-binding ; it will cast ofF the shackles from the opium slave. All this, and far, far more than this, will Christianitj- do for China. Dotted here and there over the Chinese Empire are little Christian churches ; there are lights kindled which, by God's grace, will never be put out. And though at the present time gross darkness covers the land, though the people are the slaves of idolatiy and superstition, we believe and know that the time is coming when these churches will grow and increase and light up the whole land with the joy and gladness that the Gospel of Christ biings. And from the bleak plains of Mongolia to the mountains of Thibet, and on to the fertile villages of the South, the great Chinese race shall bow to Jesus Christ as their Saviour and their King. 300 THR CENTENARY CEIjFBRATION. THE REV, W. HOLMAN BENTLEY was the next speaker. I havo tho honour, ho said, to represent your niuch-lovod Congo Mission. Tho Congo Mission has no hoary history of a hundred years. Only thirteen years ago "syas the work commenced. It is tho youngest child of this glorious Society— a child, I am bold to say, of whom the Society will have good cause to be as proud as it is of its elder children. It is a dear child — one that has cost you veiy much, and will yet cost more. But does the fanner grudge the seed he puts into the ground ; or the man of capital, does he grudge the money put into his business — does he look sadly at the heavy column of what is called the wrong side of the account ? No ; he hopes and reckons that in proportion to his expenditure so will bo the returns, and according to his oiitlay in seed and cultivation so will be the ingathering in the future. This is the apii'it in Avhich our Congo Mission must bo carried on. The Congo Mission is like the Congo Railway, which is just being laid. It is estimated that the trouble and cost of the first ten miles of that railway have been as great as any hundred miles of the rest of its course are likely to be. The coimtry is the same, the Congo is the Congo still ; but better houses, wider experience, iniproved means of communication,' and other things are changing the conditions of the coimtiy, and make it more possible to live there. During the second half of my first five years' stay in Congo I had no fever at all, and during my second tei'm of five years and a half, from which I have just returned, I have had, better health than any ordinary native. Someone will say at once, *' You are not an average specimen." Very well, then, let mo speak of my wife, who is blessed with fair, but not extraordinary, constitutional, strength, and has had several and severe fevers. Let me tell you what she manages to get through, and then you will have some idea what can ha done by anyone with a fair amount of energy on the Congo. Besides her household duties as a wife — attending to the cooking, cleaning, and needlework— she has to manage and superintend the work of the thirty- four boys and girls especially attached to our household on the station. There are moi'O than thirty-four in all, but each missionary takes to himself the boys and girls from his o-mi district. We have had also two orphan babies, and very often these babies havo needed to bo looked after all day long, and have kept us awake for a considerable part of the night. She manages all the work of our children, with the exception of four or five who are in the printing-ofiice, and our garden is tho wonder and admiration of the native women who come to sell food to us. These last two years wo havo had bettor maize gro"s\'ing in our garden, owing to the care taken in jiroparing tho soil, than the women can grow on tho TTIH MEETINflS AT KRTTKBTNfl. 201 rubbisjli-heaps roimd thoir liousos. Bcsidns tliis, sho has had the solo managemont during- school Ikhits of the sovonty-fouv boys and girls in the school. In addition to that sho has always boon roady to transcribo my niannscvipts ; sho attends to hor own corrospondonco and holps mo in mino, and sho has found tinio to transcribo tho appendix of my dictionary, as woU as to prepare some three or four school books and write a few hymns. When sho was in England on her first furlough she saw through the press the little book, "More About Jesus," adapted and translated into the Congo language. We have just got through our first edition of this, and have to ask for a second edition fi'om the Eeligious Ti'act Society. The school books above mentioned are a series of arithmetical problems very much in use in Holland, a geography of Afi'ica, and tho first half of Foster's " Story of the Bible," So, if I am not an average specimen, I quote my wife. Better houses, as I said before, greater experience, and the development of communifiation have made life very much moi-e livable on the Congo ; and the sad, sad story of the past will not, I am sure, be continued, We have eight stations on the Congo at present, and Mr. Darby is waiting for reinforcements in order that we may start a new station on the Mobangi Eiver. Our base station, Underbill, is a hmidred miles from the mouth of the river; the oldest station is at San Salvador, eighty miles to the south-east; it is the station from which our Mission started. One hundred and forty- four miles from Underhill there is a station in the middle of the cataract region, where I have been living myself during the last four years. Eighty miles fui'ther on is oiu- station at Stanley Pool, from which there stretch more than five thousand miles of opeir waterway. Africa is so well drained by rivers that, beyond the cataract region, it would be difficult to put one's finger on any point on the map of Western Central Africa which is more than fifty miles away from a navigable waterway. The immense advantage this is to us you would best appreciate if you knew, as we do, the difficulty of walking over land under a burning tropical sun, and maintaining overland communica' tions in a country without any travelling facilities whatever. Two hundred miles past Stanley Pool there is Bolobo, the station of our brother Grenfell, the dockyard of our Mission. A hundi'ed miles further on we have another station, Lokolele. These stations are all on the southern or left bank of the Congo. Two hundi'ed miles further on there is another station, on the north bank, at Mosembi, and two hundred miles again further on is our foi-emost station at Bopoto. So now, in thirteen years, we have penetrated into these dark unknown lands, and have our stations stretching as far as a thousand miles into tl^e interior. Altogether fifty- six men have gone out in connection with our Mission ; of these seven have returned to this country, or have been transferred to other fields. Twenty-one \\HYe died, leaving twenty-eight connected 202 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. with the Mission at present. Of these eleven are married. Besides eleven ladies now in connection with the Mission, being the wives of missionaries, three other ladies have returned during the past years, and three others died, making altogether seventeen ladies who have gone out. Besides ourselves there are already six other missions working on the field. Altogether there are one hundred Protestant missionaries and their wivea at work upon the Congo. As to the language, we have had special difficulties to contend with. In China you may find men who can help in the study of Chinese ; in India you can have your pundit at so much a month. But when we reached the Congo, thii-teen years ago, we had no help at all. We had to begin right from the beginning, and take doAvn the language word by word ; we had to discover for ourselves the mysteries of its grammar and idiom, until at last, in 1887, we were able to publish our Dictionary and Grammar. Since then I have been translating the New Testament, and I hope to see that through the press by the end of this year. On the Congo we have to begm lower down than elsewhere ; not only have we to prepare the Scriptiu-es for the people, but to prepare also the people to read them. Educational woi-k, therefore, must occupy a prominent position in our missionary operations there. We have some 350 children in our schools, and very good progress has been made. While wo have great cause for encouragement in the educa- tional results attained, still more have we occasion for rejoicing at the work of gi'ace among our school folk. A goodly number have already given their hearts to the Saviour, and are seeking to sei-ve Him, and yet a larger number are evidencing spiritual concern, and are showing us the promise of yet greater blessing and wider possibilities. Our little church at Wathen, with one exception, has been recruited from our school folk. At present there is no great spirittial awakening in the people around us at Wathen. We know that the seed has been sown. We know that many have lost faith in their old superstitions. We know of many who pray to God, and of others who, when they do anything wrong, get uneasy about it. Many of those who used to get drunk, and think nothing of it, when they get drunk or do some other wrong now try to right the matter with God by prayer. This may seem to be very little to some ; it does not seem very little to us. But although there has not been any great awakening yet, God is blessing our work at Wathen and at all the stations, and some sixty or seventy of the natives have been baptized ; and we are glad to see our native Christians doing v/hat they can to evangelise their fellow-countrymen, and glorifying God by their changed lives. My fiiends, conversion is conversion all the world over. When the young man of loose living becomes the wonder of his comi-ades, and the grave change in his life leads them to try to under- stand what this Christian teaching can be, there is no question as to the THE MEETINOS AT KETTBltlNG. 203 genuineness of his conversion. And when the man who has murdered many, and has been the oppressor of his district, gives his heart to the Saviour, and becomes a changed man, gei^tle, kind, and peaceable, the wonder of all his heathen neighbours, there is no question as to the genuineness of the conversion ; and such cases we have already on the Congo. An important man in a town near to us made profession of his faith in Christ. His changed life and evangelistic efforts excited the wonder and hatred of his heathen townsfolk, and after a wliile he dis- appeared under most suspicious circumstances. We did not know whether he was killed or what became of him, but a few days after- wards a slave of that man — a lad in our school — said to me, in the course of some religious conversation, " If I give my heart to Josus, you see what may happen. You see what has hapi^ened to my chief, and the same thing may occur to me." Yet when, in the face of that, he wished to give his heart to the Saviour, can we doubt his sincerity ? But the number of our missionaries is altogether madequate for the evangelisation of the vast field about us. Our great ho^w is, and has been from the first, in the native workers. In time past it was not possible for native helpers to get about the country, or to do any evangelistic work at any distance from our station ; but our frequent and wide itinera- tions have opened up the country, and the roads are safe and passable for long distances. "We are laiown in many towns and villages, and native helpers can undertake Avork themselves. We are teaching them to do all they can to extend the knowledge of the Saviour's love among the people who surround them ; and our converts frequently go into the near toAvns and vUlages, to do what they can to teach their fellows. Not only has this duty been constantly impressed upon them from the very first, but we have taught them also that God looks for gifts as well as service, and that thej^must give according as God prospers them. So from the very first our little church has been laying aside money for the extension of Christ's Kingdom in its immediate neighbouihood. Our treasure-box became full of brass rods ; for during the first two years of the existence of its treasury it was all receiving and no giving out. "What should be done with these rods?" they asked. "Never mind now," we said, "go on giving." A little later a chief fifty miles away sent us a message that he was not satisfied with being visited occasionally, but wanted to lioar the Gospel often, and we must send him a teacher to live among the people. We reported this to the church, and they decided to send a native teacher to start an outpost station. A young man who had been helping my wife in the school work was sent, he gladly undertaking to leave friends, and the comfort and pleasures of station life, to live fifty miles away, among strangers, for two-thirds only of the pay which he was until then receiving on our station. This outpost is entirely supported by the native church. Our treasury was ovei-flovv-ing, and the chiirch 204 THE OENTENATIY CELEBRATION. was well ablo to do it. Last Christmas the native teacher came home to Wathen for a few days to see the old place again, and on the first Sianday afternoon of this year we held our first missionary meeting and heard the story of our Mission. Since then another outpost has been started four hours to the east of the station, and in this case also the teacher takes a lower salary than he had been getting. Not only does the little church at Wathen support these two outpost stations, but, with other Congo chiu'ches and schools, has contributed liberally towards the Centennial Fund. From San Salvador a sum of £.33 14s. 3d. was sent, and from "Wathen Station an amount of £2 lis. 8d., while the other stations sent each their quota to the Fund, and sent it heartily as ' ' a present for the one hundredth birthday of the Baptist Missionary Society." Many of us listened last night to Mr. Greenhough's account of the work in Jamaica. I ask you to think of what Mr. Greenhough has said, of the warmth of Christian love, the heartiness, liberality, and joy in the Lord of the negro Christians in Jamaica, I can but re-echo his own words : ' ' Congo Avill be another Jamaica, and as God has blessed you in your work among the Africaxi people in Jamaica, so He will bless the work upon the Congo," Avhere we are dealing with the same race, and have the same material to work iipon. Altogether some sixty or seventy natives have been baptized at our various stations, and we have abundant encouragement, .and have every reason to go on gladly and hopefully in this glorious work on the Congo. Mr. A. H. Baynes read tlie following letter from Dr. Mnrdock, the Honorary Secretary of the American Bajitist Union of Boston: — "The Rev. W. F. Armstrong is one of our most hononred missionaries who has been appointed to represent the American Baptist Missionary Union at tlie forthcoming Centenary celebration of the Baptist Missionary Society at Kettering. He brings the heartiest greetings of the brethren of the American Baptist Missionary Union, and we all trust that the great meetings in Kettering will have much of the Divine blessing." " I am quite sure that friends here will rejoice in the fact that our American brethren across the Atlantic sympathise witli us most heartily in our celebrations. We have also on the platform with us to-night another gentleman delegated by the American Missionary Union, Mr. Edward Goodman, the editor of the Chicago Standard, and I am sure we accord to Mr. Goodman to-night our heartiest welcome. We shall listen to the words of Mr. Armstrong, who comes from Burmah, with the greatest possible pleasure," TUE MEETINGS At KETTERING. 205 The hymn "Arm of the Lord, tnvake, awake," was then sung. THE REV. W. E. ARMSTRONG, of iJLinuah, afterwards I'ose and spake as under :^ I wi.sh it had devolved upon some more coinpeteut porsuu to expiessi to you the greetings aud congratulations of the American brethren, but none coidd do it more heartily, I am sure, than I ; and though I lack much that I would like to possess, I have this as a minor titness, that I am coimectc'l with two missions of the American Ba^jtist brotherhood which are the joy and the ^jride of our Avliole brotherhood — the Karen Mission and the Telegii Mission. You have come back to the old home- stead to-day, you have opened your casket of jewels which God has graciously given you. I have come with a handful of jewels, which arc as much yours as ours, to jjiit into the common casket. Judson, our first missionary, was led, in the providence of God, to Burmah. There was a people livuig u^j in the mountain fastnesses of Bm-mah utterly unknown to Judson, though he hved right in their midst. It was not till foui-teen years after his arrival that the Mission was begun among the mountain Karons. They are the most singular people 1 have ever met in any part of the globe, and, though I am not an old man, it has been my lot to travel over a considerable portion of the world. They are a people who never worshipped idols, although they lived in the midst of idolaters. They Avorshipped demons. They had no written language amongst them, but they had, strange to say — very strange it seems to me — a word for "book," not borrowed from any neighbouring language, but a piu-(> Karen word, but yet they had no book ami no writing characters. They had a tradition, cast into the form of a song, that the Karen was the eldest son in God's faniih% that God had committed to him the keeping of His oracles contained in a "White Book, but that, on account of the Karen disobedience, God had taken this treasure away from them and had given it to a younger brother ; but the tradition went on to say that the white brother would come to them from over the gi-eat Western waters and bring back the long-lost treasure, the law of God, contained in the "White Book, and then prosperity would return to tlie Karens. How that originated, Avhere it came from, I have no more idea than you have ; but I simply relate the fact. Wherever it came from, it has been wonderfully used by God. WIk.'u the missionary came amongst them, they saw he was a white man, who had come, as they learned by inquiry, from over the great AVestern waters, and had a White Book with hiiu. '" Why," they said, ' ' this is what we have been waiting for j this is what our fathers told us would be." Literally thousands accepted the truth as it ia in Jesus. 200 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. The work lias gone on, and we have now about 30,000 Karen Christian church members, gathered into 4-50 churches. I was sent to the Telegu Mission for my second teiiu. You know it under the name of the Lone Star Mission. For forty years our missionaries laboured with scarcely anything to show for it ; but about fourteen years ago the pent-up blessings of forty years seemed to burst out at once into view Hke a century plant, which absorbs sunshine and rain and gives nothing back until the century is up, when it biu-sts forth in a beauty of foHage. God caused, fourteen years ago, a famine on the land, and He wondrously used it for the softening of the hearts of the people, and for the opening of their ears to hear the Word. In one day we baptized 2,222 in one place. That year 10,000 came in the same way, and the blessing has gone on increasing. During the last thirteen months 10,000 more have come in, and we now number considerably over 50,000 church members. I have not time to speak of the other jewels. God has given them to us, and they are yours, and, better than all else, they are His. And He is coming one day, perhaps sooner than we think, to make up His jewels. THE REV. D. J. EAST, President of Culabar College, being called upon by the Chairman, said :— There is one name which should not be left unspoken in this great meeting. I love the Name that is above every name. But there are uther irames that are dear to our hearts. I refer to William Knibb— the champion of Jamaica freedom, and whose name is still, and I trust ever will be, an inspii-ation to the churches of that island. Fifty years ago the Jubilee of our Mission was celebrated under Knibb' s auspices in the Island of Jamaica. A tent as large as this was erected, and 10,000 people gathered to the celebration, and the inspiration of that gathering is stiU with us in that island. We cherish the name of your townsman ; we honour the Master and glorify Him for having given us such a champion. Much of the fruit in the Chui-ch and in the College where I have had the privilege for all these years to live must be traced to the devoted labours of that lion-hearted Christian. Never let the name of Knibb be forgotten in our missionary gatherings. The Doxology waa then sung, and the proceedings terminated. i'^-M^- \ WILLIAM KNIBBS BIRTHPLACE. THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 207 AN EARLY PRAYER MEETING was held in Fuller Chapel, begiiiiiiiig at half-past seven o'clock, the following morning, Friday, June ^rd. The Revs. J. Stuart, of Watford, and J. CoRxNibh having offered prayer, DE. UNDERBILL, the Honorary Secretary, delivered an address. I thank God, he said, I am permitted in His gracious providence to he here to-day. It is a day that I have long anticipated. I desired in His great mercy that I might be permitted to witness this celebration. For more than forty years my time and heart's aftections have been engaged in the work of our Missionary Society, and I could not but feel grateful to God that this celebration should be accompanied by so much mercy and such exceeding cause for gi-atitude, and that I should take a part in it, however humble. I do not intend to preach to you this morning, nor do I intend to go at any great length into the history of the past. Still, moiuorics of the past will recur, and a few of them I may be permitted to refer to as characteristic, }uore especially, of the general course of the proceedings of God with our Society. There is in that very magnificent Messianic psalm, the T2nd, a verse which has very often deeply impressed me, where it is said that the great Messiah, the Head of the Church, the King of kings, and Lord of lords, should have prayer " made for Him continually, and daily should He be praised." There is something singular, peihaps, in the thought that we should pray for Christ; and yet does it not mean that we, in common with all nations, should pray for His appearance, and that He, long the desire of all nations, shoidd manifest His gloiy and dwell in our midst 'i And through all the course of the ages since His ascension to glory we, all the churches of Christ, have been in the habit of so praying, using His own words, "LetTliy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." But it is no less a part of this prophecy and promise that He v.diom we desire should come should also be daily praised — " Oh I that lueu would praise the Lord for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men." And surely, notwithstanding all the conflicts of the Church, all the varieties of condition through which the Church has passed, there has been a constant, incessant reason and cause that praise should ascend to the Redeemer from the uttei'inost parts of the earth. 208 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. Yesterday my dear friend and predecessor, Dr. Angus, spoke of prayer — jjrayer for His coming ; and this morning I Avdll say a few words A\dtli regard to the'praise that we should render to Him who is the Lord of life and our Eedeemer. And, to put it in a veiy practical form, I think we are bound to praise God for the men whom He has raised up amongst us, to praise Him for the founders of our Society — men who Avere pre-eminent in piety, for a devoted life, and great power in the ministry of the Word of God. Fuller, Sutclift", Ryland, can never he forgotten in the history of the Baptist chux'ches of this countiy ; not less can they be forgotten in the history of the movements which led to the formation of the Baptist Missionaiy Society. Let us, then, praise Hiin for these eininent men as we stand on this sjwt recalling the Avork Avhich Fuller did when he laid the foundations of a theology on which we must ever rest, and gave us an exposition of the Word of God which must ever be the animating princiiile of every Evangelical effoii. Then must A\'e not praise Him for those who established the Society at the firsts another trio of great and eminent men — Carey, Marshman, Ward ':' It is scarcely possible to distinguish Avhich was the most eminent of the three, excepting that Carey was pre-eminently the first — first in time, fii'st in effort, first in prayerful devotedness, and first in consecration. But Marshman was also a man of great acuteness and intellectual power. He was, in fact, the prolific writer of the movement, and the eminent author of the principal publications that emanated from the Serampore Press. And Ward, our first printer, was pre-eminent not only as a printer, but as a Christian, devoting the energies which had been culti- vated in this country to the preparation and dissemination in iimumeruble quantities of the Word of the Living God. Thank God He has raised up amongst us eminent preachers and evangelists in the missionary field — men fitted to cany the Word of Life, by training, by education, by study, by devotedness, to the heathen to whom they went. Shall I name among the first of them Chamberlain, one of the greatest preachers that India has ever seen ? And then, following him in the same line, Ave have such men as George Pearce, Lav/son, Leslie ; and, in later days, John Page, James Smith, and Morgan. And not less in other lands has the Mission spread by those AAdio first Avent to Africa — John Clarke and Prince. In Jamaica, Knibb and Burchell will always stand forward as eminent propagators of the Gospel of our Lord and SaA'iour. Not less should Ave praise God for the educators He has raised up in our mission Avork. At Serampore we must mention such men as Mack and Leechman, Avhose names are perhaps scarcely ever heard amongst us noAV, Mack particularly being a nian of pl'e-eminent ability, Avonderful skill, and great attainments. Then comes Denham, humble, pious, loAvly, but earnest and devoted, and folloAAdng him TrafFord, Avho has but lately THE irEETINfiS AT KETTERING. 209 passed from ouv midst, and is now with God, whoso simplicity of life and holiness of character and deep affection made him a treasure to those who knew him. Then I must mention another name, Sampson, who died early on the field, but who did not pass away without leaving behind him tokens of power. And passing on to other lands I must mention, in Jamaica, Tinson, who established the College now in Kingston, and who was succeeded by our dear friend present here this morning whona I am so glad to see, Mr. East, Tliese brethren are to be remembered by the Church of God gratefully, as having promoted to a large degree the well-being of the people among whom thej' laboured, and the growth of a native ministry in their midst. And then we must remember those who have explored foreign fields and originated the work in unkno^^^l lands. Let us think for a moment of Clarke and Prince, Avho were the first in these later days to visit Africa, and their endeavour to plant the Gospel of Christ in Foi-nando Po. But stiU later we cannot pass on without mentioning Comber and Grenfell, the gi-eat missionary explorers of the present day. And what shall I say of another brother — I can hardly call him an exjilorer, I can hardly call him a missionary or evangelist, I can hardly speak of him as a translator, and yet in all these capacities Saker was a man great in mind and in spiritual power, and for him let us gratefully adore our God. And this leads me further to say, let us not forget the eminent translatoi"s whom God has raised up in our midst. I have spoken of Marshman. Few perhaps in these days know that Mai-shman was one of the earliest and best Chinese scholars. But what shall I say of that giant in intellectual force and linguistic power, Dr. Carey himself!' It is almost impossible to comprehend the grandeur of the work which Carey accomplished. We have to thank God for His having given the impidso in these last days to the translation of His Word, and having led the way in preparing Christ's own Gospel for the perusal of the nations of the earth. I find that between fifty and sixty translations of God's Word have emanated from the missionaries whom God has raised up in our midst. But I must pass on to mention three men equally eminent in many respects to the Serampore group, coming into the field later, and reaping where others had partly sown, but still not less mighty in the Scriptures, I mean William Yates, William Henry Pearee, and Jolni Wenger. The last words of William Pearee to me in England, some forty years ago, ring in my ears still : " Edward, you must follow me to India," and though Providence led nie in other paths for a time, I have visited India, as you know, and have seen and understood his work. He was educated partially in Bristol, and trained as a printer in the great Clarendon Press of Oxfoi-d. I have great and tender recollections of hiui, a man of sweet disposition, amiable to a degree, loving, thoughtful, and one of the wisest of men. Then there is my dear friend John 14 210 THE CENTENARY CELEBEATION. ■Wen'>'er, av^Iioso humility, reticence, and reserve were so great us to keep liim almost unknown amongst us. You knew him by repute, and by the eminence of his work, but you did not know his lowliness of spirit, his humility of heart, his loveliness of temper, his great acquirements hidden under the most modest exterior. Yet such a man was he whom God gave to us, and who in these last years endeavoured to perfect and com- plete the translations of God's Word in India. Nor must I omit the names of James Thomas and Charles Lewis, whose eminent labours at the Mission Press did so much to diffuse the Bible and a Christian literature throughout Hindustan. I have now passed in brief re\dew a small number of the names of brethren whom God has called forth in our midst, and I wish that there were tinae to go into more detail of theiv work. But there are some results in their work which we must praise God for — such as the abolition of many accursed practices and superstitions in India, the breaking down of the superstitious practices of the heathen in Africa, the abolitifm of slavery in all parts of hor Majesty's dominions. We can say truly that the spirit of education ai-ound us had, in a large measure, its root in the great educational systems now prevalent in India. If Dr. Carey expected great things from God, tliey have been accomp- lished. He attempted great things and succeeded in his attempt. Oh I that he covild have lived to witness with us this devout celebration of our gratitude to God for the work which by him was originated and set on foot. I think he would have said, " God has blessed us exceeding abundantly above all that we asked, nay, above all that we thought." I cannot recall the numbers of Christians in India and Africa and elsewhere whom I have seen and conversed with Avithout thanking God. I have seen true piety in all parts of our missionary field bursting forth into love and obedience to the commands of our Lord. God has given us martyrs. I remember poor Mackay who lay down his life at Delhi, and his companion, AValayat Ali, one of the devoutest and holiest of our native Christians that I have ever seen. I cannot tell you of the numbers who have laid down their lives or lost their all in the confession of Christ as their Saviour, both in the East and the West. Is it not tberefore our duty to render God thanksgiving, and not only to offer prayer for blessings yet to come, but founding on the blessings which have been received a confident expectation of greater things yet to be done if we are wise, devoted, and holy enough to attempt them ? The great anthem of the Church seems to ring out and be taken up by all the nations of Europe : The o-reat and "glorious company of the apostles" and their successors "praise Thee, the noble army of martyrs praise Thee, the holy Church through- out all the world doth acknowledge Thee." Brethren, let us unite ^-ith one heart in one song to Him who has called these men by His grace and uiade them the benrcrs of His salvation to the very ends of the e.arth.

On re-assemblino; in the afternoon the Pavilion presented a deeply impressive scone. The immense audience was presided over by DR. GEOROxE SMITH, C.T.E. After prayer by the Rev. Dr. Browx, of Banyan Chipel, Bedford, and the singing of the well-known missionary hymn, " O'er the gloomy hills of darkness," to the old tune '"Calcutta," the Chnirman addressed the meeting. Wo are mot, said Dr. Smith, in K('tterin<^ as the rnprosontative.s of the English-speaking millions of all lands. I have been deputed by the General Assembly to convey to you and to the noble Baptist Missionary S(5ciety the fraternal greetings of the Free Church of Scotland. It is doubtless known to some of you that Carey's work influenced even Sir "Walter Scott. In his novel of " Guy Mannering," you will find that the hero was taken to the Grey Fiiars Church in Edinburgh in order that he might hear the most distinguished minister of the then Church of Scot- land : Dr. Erskine, who was the man for whom William Carey, when he was yet a shoemaker's apprentice, holding, shall I say, his own college in the hamlet of Hackleton, translated a manuscript from the Dutch lan- guage. Dr. Erskine deserves to be remembered, moreover, here to-day, because it was he who led the small Evangelical minoi-ity that wished to carry out the great missionary enterprise through the Church of Scotland, when that wonderful event occurred, the publication by Andrew Fuller of the first number of the periodical accounts of the Baptist Missionaiy Society. It roused the dead synods and presbyteries of the Moderate Church of Scotland to send up petitions to the General Assembly to take a part in Carey's missionary scheme. There were two brothers whos(( names are well known to all Congre- g.itiomil Christians and all over Christendom, Robert aiid Jam(\s Haldane, impelled by enthusiasm, who, after reading that first number which Andrew Fuller published, resolved to give themselves and all their property for the establishment in India of a mission on the same lines as the mission of Dr. C.irey. On(> of them, Avho possessed Airihrey, the most beautiful estate in all Scotland, sold that estate at the Bridge of Allan, and laid the money, £:j.'>,000, at the feet of his Lord and Master. I trust that if there 222 THE CEIs'TENARY CELEBHATIOX. are licli men aiion he found himself teaching in spiritual history and evangelisation. The jiower of William Carey was the power of a man that, first having in him tho grace of God as a sjjark of spiritual life, heaped on that spark the fuel of accumulated inform ition until there was a tremendous conflagration in his heart ; and that conflagra- tion has lit up missionary enterprise and endeavour in every land 15 226 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. beneath the sun, and the full blaze of it is shining to-day in this town of Kettering. Another element of Carey's great power was to be found in his resolution — indomitable resolution. I pray you to remember, whatever his accomplished biographer may be pleased to attribute to him, that Carey himself disowned the possession of genius. He distinctly said: "The secret of whatever success I have attained is this — lean plod." It Avas plodding that made Carey the man he was. I am sure we do not understand the power of the will. It makes a man a giant for good or a monster for evil. It makes a hero on the one hand and a Nero on the other. What you will to do, God helping you, you can commonly accomplish. There are very few holy ambitions and rational ambitions that can be set before a human soul that are not attainable in time, provided there be the plodding energy and the resolute will that cannot he hindered by any ordinary obstacle, and will not consent to be defeated. I gloiy in a wilful man. Another element in Carey's power was his education, self-acquired as it was. Let us understand that education, as we have been told by Dr. Bhedd, is not a dead mass of accumulations ; it is power to work with the brain. It is not necessary for you to go through the curriculum of Oxford or Cambridge. I think it was Dean Swift who said that one reason why the English universities were so learned was that most people took some learning there, and as very few brought any away, it accumu- lated. There is no university under heaven that can make an educated man. It is the men that make the university, and not the university that makes the men. You say that a man is dependent upon circumstances. I say there is Ji great and glorious sense in which a true man makes circumstances ; for he rises superior to the hindrances of his circumstances, and moulds them to the Divine purpose of his life. What does Solomon say in the Book of Ecclesiastes ? "If the iron be bliuit, and one do not whet the edge, then must he put forth the more strength." " A whet is no let," adds a j)opular proverb. What does that mean!-' A man with a dull weapon, though he has more muscular power, can accomplish less than a man with a sharp weapon and less muscular power. The mower does not lose the time he spends sharpening Ids scythe. William Carey found out that he had a chest of dull tools, and not many of them, as he thought ; but he sharpened those tools by assiduous self-cidture and self- mastery. So William Carey went forward in the world's history to accomplish results that many a man of far greater natural genius has utterly failed to accomplish. If ho lacked strength he made up for it by sharpened faculties. The other clement was yearning aftor souls and yielding unto God. I believe, and I want to say it here with an emphasis to which I can add nothing, for I put into it whatever power of brain and whatever power THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 227 of heart, and Avhatever power of expeiience I have, that I am more and more overwliehned with the truth that what mauily makes the ditt'ereuce between people in this world in theii" moral and their spiritual force is simply this, in the last analysis — the clcghe to which buih/, mind, and soul are ahsolately yielded unto the mastership of Christ. Anything held iu resei-ve imperils the service of a life. If you remain the slave of your appetites, you cannot know the power of Divine afHuities and yeaniings. If you remain the victim of your avarice, you cannot understand the imperial riches of a child of God. If you are under the control of woildly ambition, you shall know nothing of the uplifting power of Divine aspii'ation. As long as self is worshipped, God is only nominally God ; but when self is lost, and God fills the horizon, any service possible to man becomes possible to such a saint. Zinzendorf had three great periods of his life as a disciple and a mis- sionary. The first was marked by this sentence : ' ' Henceforth that land is my native land where Christ and man most need my service." The second was reached when he said: " I would rather be hated for Christ's sake than adored for my own." The last was reached, and it naturally followed in its Divine succession, when he exclaimed, only a little time before his departure: " I seem to be treading on air" — hfted up above lower things to a higher level ; raised above those rough roads that make the feet worn and weary, he felt that it was only ecstasy to serve the living God. My dear friends, at Leicester the day before yesterday, lireachuig in Harvey Lane Chapel, I suggested that the same text that William Carey used on that memorable occasion on the i51st of May, 1792, might furnish an appropriate motto for the coming century of missions ; and if so obscure a man as I may venture to add a suggestion to that of the illustrious Carey, one that has been borne in upon my own mind, I will rei^eat, and, for a moment, expand it here. There are, in that memorable text, two sentences, very brief, which Carey in his sermon did not particularly notice, but which God seems to have left there as a lesson for the new century of missions: the sentence, "Fear not," and the other sentence, "Spare not," or grudge not. The first, "Fear not," is a rebuke of unbelief that timidly dares not to foUow where the Master leads. The other injunction, " Grudge not," is a rebuke to the selfishness that is unwilling to sacrifice everything for the sake of the triumphs of the cause. And taking these two fragments of the text I beg to put them before you and construct another little motto on the basis of them. Like Carey's motto, " Attempt great things for God : Expect gi-eat thuigs from God," this little motto shall be a couplet — • "Fear xot: Faith dares all with God; Grudge not: Love bears all for God.'* 228 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. The next speaker represented the Colonies — THE REV. SAMUEL CHAPMAN, from Australia, who spoke as under : — It is just two days ago since, in tlie courtyard of an hotel at Brussels, I opened the Missionary Herald that had been sent nie by your representative in Naples, and found, to my dismay, that just two days from that time I was expected to be upon this platform. I submit tbat it is somewhat hard lines after an absence of fifteen years for a man, before he has been here twenty-four hom-s, to be called uj)on to speak to a meeting like the present. I represent a country that has not got a history. We have no history in Australia, but by God's blessing we hope to make one, and if you will send for my grandsons at the next jubilee of the Baptist Missionary Society I can only hope they will have a good story to tell. Nevertheless, I think you may take it for granted that Ave are, I was going to say, chips of the old block ; but you can put it in as j)olite a jjhrase as you choose. A few years ago we thought that it would be a most heljjful thing to your Society here if the Australian churches were to take up districts of their own ; if, instead of just sending in a few contributions from year to year to the headquarters in London, the Colonies started societies of their own, thinking that by that means enthusiasm would be evoked. The hearts of all were turned to India. We felt that we were of the lineage of the men who had been working in India neaily a hundred years, and Ave wanted to go to India. We Avere astonished to find that there are yet great districts in India containing millions of people Avho have never heard the story of the Cross and never seen an ambassador of Jesus Christ. We took possession of some of those districts. We found four millions in one and three millions in another, and so on. It is in these districts that avo have now planted our mission Avoik. We have now about twenty agents. We have not a great deal to toll of Avhat Ave have done in the past, but we hope by God's grace to do more in the future. In Australia avo are not hamiJered by the jjast, and we Avant to learn before Ave go much further Avhat is the right and true relation between the senders and the sent in the great missionary Avork. That is the problem, it seems to me, that Ave have to face, and that you Avill have to face. It seems to us that it is a kind of anomaly to have for com- mittees and officials persons Avho never saAV a live heathen man in their lives and never visited a heathen city. When Ave heard about Mr. Baynes going to India we said, " That is a step in the right direction," and Avhen Ave heard of Dr. Glover and Mr. Morris going to China last year Ave said, " These are a great number of steps in the right dii-ection." THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 229 "We want you to follow those lines as mucli as possible. After all, let us be assured of this — that heathenism is never known until men come in contact Avith it. If we could only bring upon this platform a specimen of unconverted heathenism ; if we could only show what heathenism really is without any of the false varnish and tinsel, without any of the nonsense of a certain class of poets and would-be philosophers, you would then know what to think of it. I see that in one of the reviews some man, who I believe is a scholar, has been Avriting aboiit the beautiful idealic life that a Mohammedan wife is able to live in Mohammedan countries. Let me tell you what happened a few weeks ago. I was in a Syiian village, and I saw a woman going to and fro, wearing more ornaments than her sisters usually do. I saw, moreover, that she seemed exceedingly capable in the way of selling provender to some of the men who had charge of the caravan and camels. I felt a kind of interest in the woman, she seemed so capable, and handy, and busy, and evidently was bringing considerable gain to her husband. I made inquiries concerning her, and I learned that only six Aveeks before the time I saw her she had bet^n bought for a donkey. It was the simple fact that she had been bought to be that man's wife and paid for Avith a donkey, and before that event took place the man had divorced three other Avives. How did he do it ? you Avill say. What laAV court Avoidd alloAv him ? All that a man has to do under such circumstances is to turn towards Mecca and swear by Mahomet that ho is divorced. Then the Avoman goes, and he can purchase as many others as he likes. That is the kind of idealic life that some men would have you think that these noble savages live. The only Avay to promote Christian missions successfully, Avhether home or foreign missions, is to let them live in their native air. Do not mistake my meaning. You may say that the native air of the Baptist Missionary Society is the air that we are breathing this afternoon in this grand old historic town of Kettering. In a certain sense that is true, but it is not in the sense in which I am using the term. I Avas in the city of Rome a fcAv Aveeks ago, and some monks there took me to a place in Avhich they thought I should take the greatest delight. Upon some hills in the Cami^agna they had planted some gum-trees, and they said ; " "We Avill shoAV you some gum-trees " ; and they took me to these hills, and there, in truth, were some little gum-trees, very nice indeed, but the monks Avere rather disappointed because I did not show any great enthusiasm about them. I thought, if I could only get you aAvay to Australia I coidd show you gum-trees ;3S() feet high, and if you could see them you Avould knoAV what a gum-tree meant; these little saplings, though they are pretty to look at, are scarcely to be called gum-trees. There are some things you cannot very well transplant, and I believe that this is applicable to the great missionary entei-prise. You must keep the thing 230 THE CENTENAK"X CELEBRATION. in its native air. Where is its native air ? I will tell you. The native air of mission work is in the upper room at Jerusalem, the place where there fell upon the assembled disciples the promise of the power of the Holy Ghost. The Baptist Missionary Society was born in air like that. Last Sunday I was in the city of Basle, and a student took me over tlio premises of the Basle Missionary Society. It is a wonderful society, with its 600 European missionaries now scattered over the heathen world, and a hundred missionary students preparing to go after them. I asked the student how the Society began, and he said it began in a very small way, that it began like the Baptist Missionary Society, in a revival. "You had," said the student, "a revival in England, and thei-e was a revival here in 1875, and our Society sprang out of it as yours sprang out of the preceding one in the latter part of the last century." With all the magnificent contributions to the treasury, the gi-eat want of the Missionary Society and the great want of the Church is just the gift, the j)resence, and the power of the Holy Ghost. This is promised to us. Shall we not have it ? Where will this begin ? It is to begin, I believe, in the committee- rooms of our institutions. It is all very well for us to say, " Let us have men come up to pray for the missions," and so on. Every man goes to Calvary by himself, but Pentecost always comes upon assembled disciples. I believe that is gloriously true. I wish from my heart that it had been possible, before this great convention broke up, that we could give i^ractical expression to this conviction of mine — a conviction in which I am sure every one of you shares. We must have that which God has pi-omised, and which Jesus Christ waits to bestow ; we must have the presence and power of the Holy Ghost, or though we may have splendid societies and magni- ficent organisations, and even abounding treasuries, all will be vanity and vexation of spirit. Scotland was next represented by — THE REV. OLIVER FLETT, D.D., of Paisley, who said : — I esteem it a piivilege (and it is pleasant to meet so many friends from differ jnt parts of the world) to be permitted to take part in this meeting, which represents so much that is sacred and inspiring in the histoiy of our denomination, and of the progress of the Gospel in heathen lands. Though representing various coimtries as the servants of our common Lord, and engaged in doing His work, we are all one. In Him — whether Australian, Ameiican, English, Scotch, AVelsh, Irish — we are all brethren, and are of one mind in regard to the end we have in view. In coming from Scotland, I do not think I have anything very different THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 231 to say from what I would have liatl had I been residing in England. As far as I know, we in Scotland are united with you in seeking the well- being and prosperity of our Society ; and I feel sui-e that we earnestly desire in our present meeting to encourage each other to go forward with increased faith and wisdom in the prosecution of the great work in the interests of which we are here, at the close of a century of labour in the mission-field, and I trust we shall learn some of the lessons which expeii- ence in the work during that period is fitted to afford. One of these, which no thoughtful mind can fail to recognise, is fhcoiJiftilncss. That the effort put forth here a hundred years ago, under the untoward conditions then existing, should have been accepted by our Lord, and so markedly blessed and prospered, as is manifest in its history, cannot other\\'ise be regarded than as matter for deep and unfeigned gratitude. It is more. It is sure ground for believing that God was with the founders of our Mission, and has been with all who have come after them in its service. It is this thought, ^this feeling, which has sustained our brethren from the beginning, and which is still sustaining us all, whether at home or away in distant lands. "We know how our friends out in the high places of the field have acquitted themselves, and also the Committee at home have never Avavered even in the presence of very trying circumstances, but have ever been ready to send out new men to supply the places of the fallen, so that wherever we may be wanting, it is not in courage, and daring, and preparedness for any difficulty or danger which may arise. In all this there is reason for encouragement. It ministers to steadiness and confidence in view of the future ; and this is good. But is it enough ? Have we not now reached a point in our history in this Centenary year when it is incumbent on us to look back on the way we have come and very carefully and afresh revie\\' the procedure we are now following ? Tliere are two considerations which seem to press this on our attention: the great advancie which has been made in knowledge and in appliances which may be availed of in our work ; and our own exi^erience, say, for example, in Africa. "We have had successes there wherever we have gone. But the one outstanding fact has been the high, the appallingly high, mortality among our agents. This has certainly been earnestly looked into. But it seems evident that it requires to be looked into afresh. For it cannot be that we are to rest satisfied with the past state of things. "We cannot forget that our own Mr. Sakei- lived upwards of thirty years and did magnificent work in one of the deadliest regions on the continent. Then there is what has been done by other societies in the south, and what is being done in the east, where a new mission is being established. The accovmts which an esteemed friend in the service of that Mission sends home reminds one of the way Mr. Saker went to work. He says he has been engaged in erecting a thoroughly substantial and commodious house for the members of the 232 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. Mission, with all appliances suitable for the climate, the whole being tinder the superintendence of the veteran Dr. Stewart, of Lovedale. Pro- cedure like this, it may be said, means a large outlay. It unquestionably does. But what if the health of the missionaries is thereby preserved ? The costliest material used on the mission-field is human life ; and the outlay which tends to preserve that life can never on any right principle of cal- culation be reckoned dear. Besides, tell me, what great undertaking can be established without a liberal outlay ? What is begun with insufficient means generally ere long involves losses and leads to dearness in the end. It is in the light of this well-known truth that the call for the Centenary Fond stands approved. Our Committee, in reviewing theii" ground, evidently feel that if their work — whether in Africa or elsewhere — was to be conducted as they would like it to be they must have more means ; and more means are coming in, and coming in freely, simply in response to their call. In giving so liberally, and without being told the precise kind of new work to be undertaken, the churches and friends of the Society generally have given a striking proof of confidence in the Com- mittee. They have virtually said: — "We approve of the action you have taken. You need more means ; we give it, and doubt not you wUl use it well. Go where the Master seems to be calling you — farther into old fields or into fields that are new. Employ additional agencies as you see they are fitted to render still more effective the work over which you preside ; and ever believe that we are with you to support by every means in our power the various advances you may be led to make." There is one advance, one additional agency, regarding which I would like here to say a word. Not that it is new or altogether unknown in oiu- experience. It is as old as the ministry of our Lord, and it has to a certain extent been sanctioned by us, but not yet in the way in which its fall powers can find exercise. I refer to the agency of medical missions. In the model ministry we are all aware that the healing of the sick occupied a position side by side with preaching ; and ever since it has been less or more in operation. Even when a missionary has no special medical training, he has not seldom to make use of the little knowledge he may happen to have. It has generally, indeed, been found a necessity to deal with sickness and disease, and where adequate appliances have been provided for this kind of work, the effects have been most valuable. In China, it is well known, good work has been done. The same is true of Africa. In Syria, too, the splendid results brought about by American Cliristians never could have been achieved in the absence of medical missions. The American College at Beyrout is perhaps the best equipj)ed institution of the kind in any non- Christian land ; and the influence for good it is exerting, not only in Syria, but away to the very centre of Arabia, is greater than can well be described. In Palestine, too, the Medical Missions lately established in Safed and THE MEETINGS AT KETTKRING. 2 "3 Tiberias are telling on the native mind in a way that nothing else within our reach could do. A few years ago, in passing through the country, I had ocular evidence of the effects produced on the minds of Eastern people by medical sympathj' and aid. There was one doctor in our company who, anticipating what he was likely to meet, had taken some medicines with him and there were nine ministers. But I am bound to say tJiat the one doctor, by the assistance he was able to give to the sick again and again brought to him, had ten times the influence with the people we met than all of us ministers put together. Work of this kind, in view of the requirements of the case as mot with in heathen countries, seems indispensable. For it is a fallacy to suiipose that all that is required is to toll the people the Gospel. This must be done. Unless it is done there is failure. Bat where it has had most success it has had accompaniments which at least have insured a fair hearing. We may tell the people, but they will not hear us till they have some proof of our friendshii^ towards them. And the healing of their diseases is the surest and most direct way of supplying this proof. But the inclusion of medical appliances in the equipment of a mission is not only a valuable auxiliary in leading the natives to hear and understand and believe the Gospel, it tends directly to the preservation of the health of all in the service of the Mission. I will only ventui'e to say one word more. In view of the increased resources which are being put at theii- disposal, our Committee will naturally be considering the question of entering into new fields of labour. And it camiot be overlooked that new fields are ever being opened uj). There is one, for instaftce, which has recently been brought into notice, in Africa, too, and which appears to be about as promising as any wo have entered — the region east and north of Yictoiia Nyanza, within the sphere of British influence, and likely soon to have a railway up from the coast and steamboats on the lake. This region, I may remark, is one which I have heard a good deal spoken of by fi"iends in Scotland as a desirable one to be entered by us. I am soiiy we in the Xorth still i-emain few, and that we have not a larger share in the work of the Society. Possibly if we had assigned to us a special interest in some mission we might fool led to do more. But whatever our share, we very sincerely sympathise with what is being done, especially in con- nection with the Centenary Fund, which we think a right thing, and fitted to do real and much needed service. And as to the work to be done by its means, we leave it where it is — in the hands of the Committee — as also all that pertains to the new period opening up before us in the second century of our historj-, and our earnest pi-ayer is that the grace they need may be abundantly bestowed upon them, and on all in evoiy land that seek the good of our Mission. Enlightened, sustained, guided by the Spirit of all grace, how difficul- 234 THE CENTENARY GELEBEATION. ties seem to give way and encouragements strengthen, and we go forward as those who know what they are about, and who mean to accomplish what they have imdertaken. THE REV. HUGH D. BROWN, M.A., of Dublin, in representing Ireland, spoke as under : — ■ I rise, he said, to voice in ti'ue and heartfelt words the earnest sympathy of Irish Baptists with the great, grand cause of foreign missions. Surely, it seems to me as though the very spirit of William Carey and Andrew Fuller permeates this meeting, and I feel as though my heart was thrilled with a touch from the unseen holies. But my thought rises to a higher, holier, and grander sympathy than even that which I have for William Carey. I mean the sympathy which we all feel with William Carey's Lord and Master, the great Founder Himself of foreign missions. It might have been Pentecost all down the centuries had the Church of Jesus Christ been faithful to its trust. All power has been focussed in the person of the risen man Jesus Christ ; for in Him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, and has been sent down to us by the ministry of God, the Holy Si3irit tabernacling in these mortal frames which are the temples of the Holy Ghost ; and all we want to do is simply, like James Watt, to lay hold upon the power outside us, a power that in his case existed millenniums before he utilised it and brought it do^vn to practical use in daily life. We have the power of Pentecost if God would but give us grace to lay hold upon it, and apply it, and let it flow out from us in the preaching of the Gospel, and the living of the Gospel, which is still the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believe th. Our brother Pierson, from America, enjoined upon us obedience to the Word of God, and pointed out that the secret of William Carey's success was his immersion into that Book. I could not help thinking as a Baptist that the secret of Carey's success was his immersion into water after his immersion into the Word of God. And let me say — I speak most lovingly and graciously, and our honoured chairman will not misunderstand this remark, especially when I tell him that one of my ancestors was a sturdy Presbyterian, John Brown, shot by Claverhouse for conscience' sake ; and that my mother was an Episcopalian, and that one of my brothers is a brother in the double sense, being a Plymouth Brother, you will not accuse me of any want of sympathy with the various churches of Jesus Christ ; but speaking from my own stand- point, if over the banner of the Baptist denomination there be not continually emblazoned these words, obedience to the holy commission, the entire counsel of God, our raiscu rJ'etre as a denomination will cease. THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 235 and we have no right to have the impertinence to exist. So, I find as I take my stand this afternoon, converted by the grace of God, not only to trust in Jesus Christ, but to be immersed into the likeness of His death and resurrection, and look back to the grand commission given by Jesus Christ all down the ages, " All power is given unto Me ; go ye therefore," that, after sleeping for seventeen centuries over this commis- sion, William Carey and other great heroes across the water woke up to realise Christ's words, when He said, "Preach the Gospel to every creature." And I hope that in the twentieth century Christian chiirches will wake up with a unanimity of feeling to the importance of one other forgotten item in our Lord's commission. The sweet Scottish voice of our chairman led my thoughts when he alluded to Sir Walter Scott to an illustration in "The Lady of the Lake." I refer to the passage of the fiery cross. You remember how, when the clan was to be rallied to a certain place in battle for their chieftain's honour, it was customary that a cross, a rough wooden one, should be first set on fire, and then the blazing cross had the flames extinguished in the blood of a slain kid, and with that blood-stained, charred cross a herald, swift- footed, was sent forth to summon all the elan to battle for theu' chieftain and for victory. So he hvu'rios over the mountains and enters a small hut, and there lies the head of that habita- tion dead upon the bier, and his weeping wife looks down upon the loved one who has been called into the presence of the Eternal ; and as the little children whisper in subdued, hushed awe, suddenly the herald of the fiery cross appears upholding the token, and with the one word, "The trysting place," is gone. What shall the young man do? He wavers for a moment by the side of the dead father and the living mother ; then, seeing the old broadsword the father wielded so well, he grasps it, and with a loving kiss of his mother's lips he is off to the trysting place from the house of sorrow to battle for the chieftain. Now comes the herald to the place of joy. A wedding party is emerging from that little church, and all goes merry like a peal of bells, when suddenly the tread of the herald of the fiery cross crosses the pathway of that young uian whose joy is just complete, and as he upholds the cross, the one word again, "The trysting place," falls from his lips. It is a hard struggle, but duty triumphs over love, or rather love linked with duty triumphs over love alone, and so he follows, too. I cannot go on ; don't you see the moral ? Oh ! holding up the blood- stained cross from out your homes of sorrow or of joy, " I beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God," into the hottest of the battle for your liege Lord and King. We Irishmen are looking out for the day when, among the stones in the Redeemer's city, there shall be found an emerald. We are looking out for the time Avhen, converted by the grace of God, the impulsiveness 236 THE CENTENAEY CELEBEATION. of our Irish nature will strr up men and -women to go to other lands as heralds of tlie Cross. Though we have not given miich money, we have given something. Oh, yes ; there are Carson Graham and Eoss Phillips by the Congo from one of our northern stations, and poor, loved "Wilkinson buried beneath the soil, a love-gift to foreign missions, or to the Lord of foreign missions, from our Irish churches. His brother is noAV a student in the Pastors' College. Only the other day I had the joy of uniting together the hands and hearts of two who were going immediately after the marriage ceremony to preach together the Gospel of God's grace in connection with mission work. So you see from both the house of sorrow and from the house of joy there are others going forth to preach the Gospel of redeeming love. It almost paralyses my mental power to think that Jesus Christ should say when looking on you and me, redeemed sinners, that He shall find His satisfaction in us through everlasting ages. I cannot take it in, though I believe it. But one thing I do know, there is a day coming when redeemed souls waking up shall be satisfied with His likeness — not satisfied in His likeness as you have been in the habit of reading it, brother. I will never be satisfied even in heaven with my own per- fection, though I shall be like Him. But when we gaze in the face that was marred for us, when we look into the blessed Master's countenance, will it not be a joy to think that you have done something to speed on His cause ? As I gaze by faith's anticijpation into heaven, I see all round the glory of the Eedeemed only one shadow of a suggestion of a whisper of imperfection. You are startled. Not in us, for we shall be like Christ, body, soul, and spirit, when we shall see Him as He is. How about the angel and seraphim round the throne ? They were perfect, they never fell. Wonder not; it is in the nail prints, in the hands of the blessed Christ Himself. Yet from that very shadow which suggests the thought of imperfection shall there roll forth all down the millenniums of eternity the love of Christ, the grandest glory of our God revealed to us in the gift of the crucified and lisen Saviour. May the time soon come when He shall reign ilc facto as well as de jure, and when the kingdoms of this world shall be the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ ! The last speaker was THE KEV. JAMES OWEN, of Swansea, who rose to represent the Principality of Wales : — I esteem it a privilege and an honour to be permitted to take part in this International Centenary Missionary Meeting, and to represent ^however unworthily— my native land. Wales is the smallest of the THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 237 L'ouutries represented tit this meeting ; but you know that bulk is not everything, and Mr. Balfour's sneer some time ago at the Principality will certainly not stifle or weaken its voice when it shall have shortly an oijportunity of speaking on the side of freedom and justice and progress and religious equality. It is a joy to me that the churches in Wales have taken a deep and affectionate interest in our Missionary Society, and I sincerely trust that their loyalty, attachment, and devotion will not only continue but increase. I should be saddened and pained if the Welsh churches, on account of their adherence to Strict Communion views (which, by the way, are never a barrier to the acceptance by the Committee of any suitable candidate for mission work), or on account of any wrong impression in regard to the conduct of the affairs of the Society, should sever their connection with it. I hope this will never take place, for I am persuaded it would be injurious, not only to the Society, but also to the churches themselves. It is not a division of forces, but greater union and zeal we need in the face of the mighty hosts of ignorance and superstition. The Baptists in Wales, in common with other Nonconformists, believe in growth, in expansion ; and wherc- ever centres of industry are created in our beautiful valleys, or along our coasts, there is immediate provision made by Evangelical Nonconformists for the religious needs of the people. And that which is good for the valleys of Wales is good for the valleys and plains and hills of India ; Avhat is good for our towns and coasts at home is good for the towns and villages and coasts of other lands. We have not contributed in the Principality so much money for this work in proportion to our member- ship as we should, but we are not a wealthy denomination. You hear of "j/oor little Wales," and certainly great wealth has not been a hindrance to many Baj)tists there when entering into the Kingdom of God. If, however, we have not given much silver and gold, Ave have given that which is more precious than fine gold— ' ' yea, than the fine gold of Ophir" — we have given men to this Avork. Thomas Morgan, of Howrah, was ouce a member of a church in Swansea, and he laboured faithfully for some forty years in the field. C. B. Lewis will always be a fragrant name in connection Avith our Society. Daniel Jones and W. E. James, and their younger compatriots, are rendering good service in India. Dr. Giifiith John, belonging to another Society, is Avell knoAvn, and we are all in Wales, and especially in Swansea, his native place, proud of him; as also of Timothy llichard, in China, and of Thomas LoAvis, in San Salvador. I am thankful that from the churches and colleges in Wales so many ha\'e been called to preach the luisearchable riches of Christ among the heathen, and I pray that this "apostolical succession" may continue. It is likely to bo so, for Wales is a land of Bibles. You kuoAV the story of "Mai-y Jones and her Bible," Avhich led at the begiiming of this 238 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. century to Thomas Charles's plea m London for a Bible Society for Wales; "and if for Wales," said Joseph Hughes, "why not for the whole world?" and so the "British and Foreign Bible Society" was originated. And it came to pass in Wales that whatever else the old leaders in religious thought and service were ignorant of, they knew their Bibles. They knew more about the battles of the Old Testament than about the battles in the history of England ; they knew more about Nazareth and Bethany and Jerusalem than about the towns in their own countiy ; they possessed the one Book, and the one Book possessed them, dominated their thoughts, shaped their lives. Carlyle, in his Life of John Sterling, says of the inhabitants of the county of Glamorgan: "The peasantry seem indolent and stagnant, but peaceable and well-provilcd, much given to Methodism when they have any character ; for the rest, an innocent, good-humoured people." If Carlyle had entered the homes and Simday-schools of those people, and had been able to converse with them in their own strong and rugged native tongue, he would not have found them so stagnant and ignorant as he represents them. The Sunday-school was the place not only for the instruction of the young, but where grey-haired scholars might talk together of the Word, and many of them became "mighty in the Scriptures." No doubt there were occasional speculations on unprofitable subjects which no creature in heaven or earth or under the earth could settle ; but the infiuonce on the whole was salutary, and the Welsh became a Bible-reading, a Bible- loving nation. And if Bible-loving, then missionary, because there is the i^lain commission of Christ. He does not discuss the subject of missions with His people ; He commands. He does not argue. He does not apologise, He does not give His "opinion," or speak of what is "probable"; He commands. Meekness and gentleness are His attributes, grace is poured into His lips ; He does not break the bruised reed, nor quench the smoking flax ; He girds Himself with a towel, and is among them as one that serves; but He never divests Him- self of authority ; He speaks as the Lord of men ; He occupies the throne of the Lawgiver, and calls them His friends who do whatsoever He has commanded them. I like Carey's title, "An Enquiiy into the Obliga- tions of Christians," and his argument that Christ's word is final. Notwithstanding a century of successful Chiistian missions, there are some who doubt their wisdom, some who sneer at them as Utopian, some who call missionary zeal an impertinence, whose "wish is fatlier to the thought," and who cry " failure " ; some who make home claims an excuse for the neglect of the claims of the world ; but whatever may be the objections and the criticisms and the niggardliness, we hear the word of our Great Commander, " I say unto you, ' Go, ye.' " The first word He says to us is "Come." "Come to have life; come to find rest;" and then He says "Go," and "Whither you go, I go; your TitE MEE'flNGS AT KETTERING. '2'od eouutry sliall be My coimtiy, your peoi)le shall bo My people, your sorrows sliall be My sorrows, your prosperity sliall be My prosperity ; I am with you all the days." A Crown lawyer in Paris ouce said, " Eoinaii Catliolie priests were the iiimisters of a foreign power." The afterwards eelebrated preacher, Laeordaire, immediately started to his feet, exclaiming, " We are the ministers of One who is a foreigner nowhere ; we are the ministers of Christ." Yes, He had all lands and all ages before Him when He gave His commission ; He foresaw all the difficulties ; He knew the height of every mountain, the depth of every river, the breadth of every continent ; He foresaw all discoveries, the art of printing, the application of steam and electricity; and He said, "Go into all the world." The people in Wales have great confidence in and reverence for His word. When He says, "My Kingdom is not of this world," they beUeve Him, and are doing their best to sever the connection between a religious denomina- tion and the State ; and they hope that, in more senses than one, " summer is nigh, even at the doors." When Jesus says, " Ye shall be witnesses luito Me, to the uttermost parts of the earth," they feel, as Wellington said, these are the "marching orders," and must be obeyed. His word is like a law in nature, ever in force ; and His com- mand is best obeyed when the sense of duty is melting into love. " We cannot but sj)eak the things which we have seen and heard." May I also say that Wales is satisfied with the Oospd which the founders of our Missionary Society loved. The churches are remarkably free from theological controversies ; there is no heresy-hunting among us ; there are no new-fangled notions troubling us ; there is no exchang- ing of pulpits with Unitarian ministers ; we obstinately stand in the old ways. We are more indebted to Kettering than to Geneva for our theology. There was a time when Fullerism Avas causing great stir in the churches of Wales ; but it was soon acknowledged that an aiigel had descended into the pool, and that the waters were healing. And this Gospel which is " its own witness," this Gospel " worthy of all accepta- tion," is the Gospel with which we are satisfied. We have not so much learning as you English people ; Wales that had long been sitting at the gate and receiving crumbs from the table of the Saxon Dives, is now, I rejoice to say, treated with more consideration, and beginning to have its share in the inheritance of learning ; but we have long had a Gospel that is good enough for any part of the country, and for the world. Wendell Holmes remarks that most people think that any difficulty of a physical sort can be cured if a physician is called in early enough. "Yes," he replies, "but early enough would be commonly 200 years in advance." There is an entail of evil that wc are suffering from; but there is also an entail of good that has come to U5 ; and we look back upon faithful men who live in tlicii- writings, and in their examples, in 240 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. "minds made better by tlieir presence." We would not bide our defects beueatb the mantle of a brave ancestry, or call even them our masters, but, with the same loyalty to truth and to Christ which they cherished, would carry on the work which they began. In many churches on the Continent you hear of the relics they possess ; the little finger of one saint, the skull of another, and a rib of a third. But the best relics of saints we can have are Iheir examples and words and saintly deeds ; and we shall honour their memory best by an earnest imitation of their faith, and the prophet's tomb wijl become the altar on which new witnesses dedicate themselves to God. Wales has flourished by the preaching of the Word, and we believe that in order to refine and harmonise the heathen, to give dignity to toil, to raise woman from degradation to honour, to sanctify marriage, t:) shield the child-life, to promote and deepen the feeling of brother- hood, to save men from sin, the Gospel is the all- sufficient means ; the Gospel of the Incarnation, the Gospel of the Atonement, the Gospel of Eegeneration, the Gospel that will remain as long as tears are shed, and groans are heaved, and graves are opened, and sin lacerates the con- science and weighs upon the heart. One of the great hindrances to the success of missions abroad is the weak, timid faith of many Christian people at homf. When, as they build, some Ammonite, in the form of a magazine or a newspaper, sneers and says, "A fox going up would break dov.'u their stone wall," they are anxious and faint-hearted, as if it made any difference what the Annuonites and Moabitcs said. But you may tell "Herod, that fox," that the stone wall v>nll not break down, and that aU the breath of ridicule is spent in vain. '• Mosk OD, mock on, deluded men, Mock on, mock od, 'tis all in vain, You throw the sand against the wind, And the wind blows it back again ; And every grain becomes a gem, Reflected in the beams divine. Blown back, they blind the mocking eye, Bat still in Israel's paths they shine." And I should like to say that iu the religious life of the churches of Wales there is an cntlmsiasm which has proved, and will yet prove most helpful in this great work. The language of Wales may sound to you a strange gibberish, but it is a language that lends itself wonderfully to Avorship and preaching. AVhen I walked through St. Peter's, in Rcme, I wondered at the number of confession-boxes ; there they stood, with the inscription upon each stating what language was understood by the priest who attended; some for Italian, some for Spanish, some for PoHsh, some for Greek, some for German, some for English ; but there was not a single confession-box for the Welsh language. I thanl-ed THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 241 God for that, and prayed that it might ever be an unknown tongue in the confessional ; and I think I may say that atheism and infidelity do not speak "Welsh. The language has been consecrated in a remarkable manner to religious uses. We may not possess many of the good qualities which distinguish other nationalities, but in the temperament and character and work of the Welsh Christian there is a fii-e which is needed in this holy enterprise. The world will not believe the testimony of a cold-hearted chiu-ch ; there must be Christian zeal, a zeal that implies convictions, deep personal convictions, and loving and heaity consecration to the objects which they have in view. The enemies are busy ; and if the Christian Church were only half as earnest in her mission as Satan is in his, the tide of battle would soon be turned, and the cry of victory would be ringing through our ranks. In the old Eoman empire it was accounted a crime for a citizen to despond in regard to the fortimes of his coimtry ; and when Hannilial encamped within three miles of the city, he was soon informed that the gi-ound on which he had pitched his tent was sold for an adequate price at a public auction, and that a body of troops was dismissed by an opposite road to reinforce the legions of Spain. Such was the old Eoman courage, and I woidd say it is a crime for Christians to despond, and pessimism is a denial of Christ. He is clothed with zeal as a cloak. There may be great obstacles ; but He will not fail nor be discouraged. There may be ages upon ages intervening between this and the final triumph; but He is patiently expecting "until His enemies be made His footstool." Come storms, come foes, come legions of darkness, yet the Word remains: "Of the inci-ease of His government and j)eace there shall be no end. The zeal of the Lord of hosts A\411 perform this." In remembrance of the victory of the Marquis of Dundee, the old Hio-h- lander exclaimed, " Oh, for one hour of Dundee." And at this Centenarj' celebration, we may say, " Oh, for one hour of William Carey," " Oh, for one hour of Andrew Fuller," " Oh, for one hour of Christmas Evans," "Oh, for one hour of Pentecost." We may have it. The Master who endowed our fathers with power is with us. Do not think of Him as distant or absent, as only in the Past, or in the Future ; He is here ; we have the Eeal Presence. Pray for the manifestation of it. We want no priest with stole and crucifix, with beads and breviaries, with " postures and impos- tures," to walk through the valley of the slain ; let God's prophet go down with love to souls in his heart, and cry, " Come from the foui- winds, O Breath," and God will honour His own message, the rushing mighty Avind_will sweep through the desolate glen, and the dead will stand upon their feet an exceeding great army. Give up the work ! No, no ; we give ourselves afresh to it,'praying God to forgive our past sloth, and help us to rise to the gi-eatness of our pii^dleges and opportiuiities. " Ye 16 242 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. that are the Lord's remembrancers, keeio not silence, and give Him no rest till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth ; " till the hosannahs of the battling Church shall be exchanged for the hallelujahs of victory, and the mountains shall break forth into singing, from the Himalayas to the Andes, and from the Andes to the Alps, and from the Alps to the hills of Scotland and Wales, the hallelujahs shall be repeated and prolonged, and the kingdom shall be the Lord's. The meeting concluded with the singing of the Dosology. THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 24?) THE THANKSCn'ING MEETING. The series of meetings in Kettering were brought to a close with "The Thanksgiving Meeting," presided over bj Mr. Edward Robinson, J.P., of Bristol. After prayer by the Rev. T. Phillips, P>.A., the minister of Fuller Chapel, Mr. A. H. Baynes made the following preliminary remarks : — I will only dctiiiii you a Diinutc. At tliis ouv last gathoring I want, on bcluilf of the Connuittcp of the Baptist Missionary iSoeioty, to oxpress onr profound gratitude to all Christian frionds in Kettering, to our good friend Mr. Phillips, i)astor of Fuller Chaj^el, to the Executive Committee, to Mr. Meadows, the indefatigable secretary, and to Christians of every section of the Christian Church. "We desire to express our hearty thartks for unbounded hospitality, and the greatest possible kindness. I know I am exj)ressing the opinion of all the visitors when I say that we shall take away golden opinions of the good people of Kettering ; and the memories of these blessed Centenary celebrations will be cherished for long years to come. I cannot but believe that they will mark a new departure in this enterprise, and that we shall realise in some higher degree the sublime jirivilege which God has committed to our poor human hands in making us in some mysterious sense fellow-workera with His Son in the redemption of a lost world ; and I hope that from these celebrations we shall go forth resolved to re-consccrate ourselves more thoroughly to this sublimcst work. Then, I should like to say that in response to the appeal made this morning I have received several contributions. I have received ten shillings each from Maud, Polly, Hilda, Arthur, and Frederick Ballard. I pray that God may bless these dear children. I am told that they have withdrawn this money from their savings in the savings bank, and I am thankful to say that they have put it into the safest bank that exists in this world. Well, I have received five guineas from Mr. and Mi-s. Horton ; £20 from Mr. Arthur Rust, of Leicester ; and through Mr. Sawday, of Melbourne Hall, £30 from "a Soid-winner." I have also received an intimation from our honoured friend the chairman, Mr. Edward Eobinson, that he knows of two friends who will give £100 each, and I have received an assurance from a good deacon of a London church that he himself v.ill be personally responsible on behalf of his 16* 244 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. ohurcli for £500. I said this morning that I wished to get into the eighties, I now want £250 for that purpose, and I earnestly trust that before this meeting is over some friends will kindly pass me up an assm-anoe on paper that they will rejoice in having the privilege of consummating that amount. I cannot but believe that in a great gathering like this there will be found friends who will readily con- tribute £250, that we may be enabled to say that we have made up the £80,000. It is with great regret that I have received a letter from our friend, Mr. James Spurgeon, intimating his inability to be present. He writes : — ' ' I find I cannot face the great Kettering meeting. I have held on only by a supreme effort, and I am really staggering forward until after our Orphanage festival, and the date of my nephew's arrival in July, and then I must leave for absolute rest, ^\'hich I have sorely needed, but have not yet secured. I tried to prepare for your great meeting last week, with the result of a sleepless night and almost complete breakdown. If I press myself further, that is certainly what will happen. I do not often shrink duty at any cost of nerve, but it is my first venture out of the old rut since my sad and grievous loss, and I really cannot face all that it means of memory, and the past, of pain and sorrow. So to avoid a catastrophe I keep to my own shell a little longer until I get a thorough change to brace up my jaded and overstrung nerves. May you have much of the Divine Lord's presence in your gathering. — With heartiest good wishes, I am yours affectionately, James Arthur Spitrgeon." I take it for granted that we all deeply sympathise with Mr. James Spurgeon in the sad strain that has fallen upon him during these months, and I am sure I shall be only interpreting your feelings when I assure him of our deep symjiathy with him in this time of sore loss and trouble, and our earnest prayer that he may be speedily restored to health and strength. Dr. Glover, however, who was to have spoken this afternoon, is with us to-night, wo shall be able to give him ample time, and I am sure I only reflect your feelings when I say I hope he will take it. The Chairman, MR. EDWARD ROBINSON, J.P., gave the following address :^ In looking back upon a himdred years of foreign missionary work, we cannot fail to be impressed with the sacrifices it has entailed on those who have taken part in it, especially on those who have gone as missionaries, or those who have sent their friends for this noble work. But at this thanksgiving meeting let us think for one moment Avhat WCuld h8t.ve been our loss had this foreign missionary work not been laid THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 245 iipou US ; if God had ordained some other means by which to reveal Himself to distant nations and men of unknown tongues, or if the Christian Church had utterly neglected the responsibility which has been laid upon it. In the first place, our Baptist Missionary Society with its hallowed associations would not have existed. William Carey would probably have remained a shoemaker, and the many noble missionaries who have achieved undying renown, and Avhose names are an inspiration to us to-day, would probably have remained veiy ordinary men. Even this little town of Kettering, whose hospitality so many of us have been enjoying during the past week, Avould have lost to us what is its chief glory, the glory of being the birth-place of foreign modem missions. Would there have been any heroes in the Christian Church during the last hundred years had it not been for this movement 'i In the previous three hundred jx'ars of our national history our Christian forefathers were contending for an open Bible, for a reformed chmx-h, for liberty of conscience ; they were resisting unconstitutional monarchs and tyrants in Church and State ; and the circumstances of theii' time called forth those qualities of mind and soul which we know they exhibited in such a pre-eminent degree. But where would have been the scope for the abilities, the indomitable courage and perseverance of William Carey, had it not been for foreign missions ? We have been reading a great deal this week about William Carey, this noble man ; but let us remember that he is only one of an army of missionaries, some of whom have been as remarkable in their way as William Carey. Take those connected with Africa, within our own recollection. There is David Livingstone, William Moflt'at, Alfred Saker, Bishop Hanuington, Mackay of Uganda, Thomas Coniber, I do not compare these men with William Carey, except to say that, like him, they were heroes, and they were hex'oes because they were missionaries. The missionary difficulties and dangers and solitudes called forth those grand qualities, and raised them above the level of ordinary men. The connection of most of us with this enterprise is that of being contributors to the funds of mis- sionary societies. Had there been no call for our help in this way we might have been a little richer than we are in material wealth ; but hoAV much poorer in love and sympathy for our fellow-men I And the joy of turning soiiu; of our money to so sacred a purpose would have been lost to us. There is not too much unity to-day in the Christian Church ; but would there have been as much unity as there is, had it not been for foreign missions ? The vastness of this undertaking has united Christians Foreign missions have been a new bond of union among Christians. Yes, it is well that we should have this Thanksgiving Meeting to con- clude the serie.-> of meetings of this week to thank God that He has given such service to men, and that He has in His mercy inclined us to take a humble share in this great work. -JiQ THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. The first speaker was • THE REV. RICHARD GLOVER, D.D. We gather, he said, amidst great solemnities as well as amongst mercies which move our deepest thankfulness. We look up to catch the suule of the loving faces of the glorified as these look down and pardon us for not following better the example that they set, and not following up the work which they began. And we look up with the feeling that these faces gleam with a new smile as they gather hope in heaven that we are just about to replace neglect by consecration, and selfishness by service. I •want, if possible, to deepen in the sense of all here the feeling that the Spirit of God still broods upon this world of man ; that wherever the heart beats God touches it ; that, to vary a cxuotation of St. Paul, He is not the God of the English only, but the God of the heathen also ; and that wherever we go, the Gospel not only prepares the soil for the seed, but finds good soil waiting for it, hungry for it, and ready to respond to it in all its influences. I Avish to-night to illustrate that one point. When the Moravian missionaries went to South Africa two of their first converts Avere sisters Avho came from far aAvay in the interior. A dying father had charged them that Avhenever they might hear of any Avho could tell them the truth of God, hoAvever far off he might be, they were to travel to that Light until they got it. They came. One of them became the aged Helen, of Avhom many here have read, who through a long life adorned the doctrine of God her Saviour. I have stood by her grave and heard on the spot what I had learned before I went there, many, many years ago. In that oase you see how the Gospel found someone waiting for it. It is many years ago since Alfred Saker told me the stoiy of one of the fii'st converts in our West African Mission. What Avas it ? It Avas that of a poor Avoman caught by a slave-raiding band in the far interior, and in a moment snatched Avith a fcAV of her friends from home, from children, from hope, to find herself on the march to the coast in the dreadful slave- gang. Day after day, foot-sore and heart-sore, she wended her weary Way until one night in her sleep A'isions of God came to her. She dreamed she was in a larger room than she had ever seen ; that at one cud of it there was a man Avith a Avhite face, Avhosc Avords gaA^e her great comfoii. She rose the next morning AAdth heart relicA'ed, a pilgrim to a blessed destiny. She did not knoAV Avhat it Avas to be ; she kncAv that she was a pilgrim to the sunrise. She reached the coast, Avas there sold, and shipped on board a slaver. The slaver Avas taken, and a large part, herself included, of the slave cargo Avas landed at Fernando Po. After aAvhilc she Avas taken to our little chapel at Clarence. It was the room of her dream. Preaching in it Avas the man of her dream, and his message brought the light of immortality to her heart, Avhich ueA'er left it. And my story THE MEGTINGS AT KETTERING. 247 is not ended. That was fifty years ago. For auglit I know slic is living to-night. She was living a few years ago, for Wright Hay told me that whenever he was in any discouragement or difficulty he went to this noble, old saint of God, and never left without finding wisdom and helj) from her saintly counsel. You see, iu her case again, the Gospel did not prepare the heart, it found it prepared. Many years ago John Gregson, of Agra, told me this story: — A missionary preaching in Tii'hoot, in Northern India, had amongst his audience a man who had never heard the Gospel of Christ before. But the Word interpreted itself, commended itself, enthroned itself in his heart ; and, as the lightning shineth out of one part under heaven into another, so the Kingdom of God came to his soul. There, you see, again, the Gospel did not prepare the heart, but found it prepared ; one had been before it. If these things^and I could multiply them— are to be foimd in degraded Africa and in depraved India, whei'e religion is depraved and depravmg beyond the conception of most in this room to-night, of com-se you would exj^ect the same in China, where the religious thoughts and feelings of men have been on a higher level than those of any other pagan land. And it would be easy for me to show, from ample facts of various periods in Chinese history, that there has never been a time when there has not been a Avidespread hunger for triith in that land. Why, Peter and Paul were not in their graves when an Emperor of China sent a solemn embassy overland to India to leai'n the doctiine of Gaudama Buddha, to get his sacred books, to acquaint themselves with his teaching, and, if they could, to bring back missionaries to China. That event is the date of the commencement of the great empire of Buddhism over China, Mongolia, Korea, and Japan. There was hrmger then, and Buddhism gave something a little better than the meagre morality of Confucius had been able to do. When Timothy Eichard and the first missionaries of our Society thirty years ago entered North China at Chefoo, one of their first converts, again, Avas a man they neither sought nor found, but a man that came three hundred miles on foot, seeking truth and AVelcomiug it Avhen he fomid it. That Avas one of the first men that were bajjtized. And to-day in China you must not imagine that because there is vice deplorable, and suffering, and bondage, and superstition ; there is nothing else. There are pro- cesses going on preparing the hearts of men for Christ. ■ Remember two or three things in connection with this. First of all, in that land everybody believes in iunnortality — belieA-es in it terribly. Probably the ordinary belief in it is more vigorous than it is amongst ourselves. That is preparation for Jesus Christ. There is hardly a soul there that does not recognise the responsibility of man. A judgment to come is an article in the creed of every man in that great empire. That is preparing men 248 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. for the Gospel. So far as I know, no heathen or Christian moralist has ever delineated the philosophy of character with such keen profundity as Gaudama did ; no one has shown more the influence of a transitory act in moulding the permanent character, and no one has testified with such fearful energy of conviction the fact that our character determines our destiny for ever. That is preparing men for Christ. Buddhism went into China atheistic ; it did not remain so. The human heart seeks for a throne beneath whose shadow it may rest; it has that thron© there. Though other and too many thrones divide its claims and impair its charm. But this has always struck me as one of the most wonderful thuigs. What is oiu- Gospel '1 It is that God is love ; that He could not sit still and look at our woe, but must come down and share it, and thus save us. They have not got that doctrine. "What have they done 't They have conceived to themselves a being to worship, the nearest apj)roach to the conception of Jesus Christ which has ever been associated with an object of Avorship by any heathen people. This is the goddess of the Buddhist Pantheon, Kwan Yin, as she is called, the Goddess of Mercy. Many different legends are given about her, but substantially they all agree in this— She was a woman who by her martyr constancy on the one hand, and by her filial sacrifices for her parents on the other, merited heaven. She was on the point of entering within its gate when she bethought herself that it would be better to stop outside and heliJ others to reach that home of light. And, brethi-en, she stopped outside, and vowed a vow that she would not enter the home of light until she saw all men safe there before her. In the reverence for such a God-like glory is there not preparation for the Gospel Lights And is not the brooding thought that first devised such a conception, and then retains it and makes her the goddess worshipped in every Buddhist temple throughout China and Japan— is there not in all this the stamp of readiness for the Gospel of Christ ? There are many beautiful mysteries connected wiih her worship, many of which have moved the speculation of the highest Oriental scholars in this country. One of them is this. Generally — almost universally — she is represented as a woman ; but frequently in Japan and occasionally in China she is represented as a man both in face, form, and di-ess. I knew what scholars said about this ; but being in a Buddhist temple with an intelligent priest I asked him, through my friend Mr. Fai-thiug, Why it was that Kwan Yin, though generally represented as a woman, was some- times represented as a man P I received this reply. Said the priest, ' ' When a man invokes the Deity, the Deity appears as a man ; when a woman, the Deity appears as a woman ; to those in affliction she appears as one in affliction, to each worshipper, according to his mood." That was the answer given to me. Now perhaps it was the regulation answer. Possibly the man did not know the glory of the words that he was using. THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 249 But I ask you, Does not the insight into the priestly heart of God and into the infinite sympathies of the Divine which begot that answer prove the existence of the thought and longing which will prove good soil for us to sow on? But they have not stopped here. Theism in England is a bald thing, and whenever it is held as the negation of evangelical truth it is some- thing so vapid and cold that you shiver beneath its shadow. But Theism there is the soul reaching to God through a crowd of lesser deities that intervene, and is a sublime thing, something like the Theism of the Psalmist. I was told when I was in the neighbourhood of Peking that tens of thousands bow to none lower than God. There is a great sect, the Single Stick Incense Sect, which bums one stick of incense in token of its belief in one supreme God. There is another great sect, the Sages and Worthies, worshipping none but God. Is there not preparation there 'i Many of you may think that there is no goodness anywhere. One of the great sects in North China is a sect Avhich forbids gambhng, alcohol, opium, and tobacco ; and philanthropic hearts labom- to propagate theii- belief. Mr. Morris and I saw a man who had a little farm, yielding, perhaps, £8 or £10 a year. He belonged to that sect, and he had made a thousand converts to it. You do not wonder that that man turns Christian directly he hears the Gospel. The soil was prepared. Some think that there is no penitence in men. Mr. Morris and I, just outside Peking (twenty miles, perhaps), met two pilgrims going to the point from which we had come, and four days beyond, to the gieat Buddhist shrine of Wutai Shan. We had taken fourteen dreary days to do it, going in the easiest and swiftest way we could. They were going to measure that distance on their prostrate forms. We saw them falling prostrate, making a line, then toeing that line, and falling again and so on. It would take them twelve months to do it. How many in this tent to-night would have penitence so deep as to accept a discipline like that r' Is there not i)rei)aration there ? AVherever we go there is that. One word more. Half of our converts have come from these secret sects. Many of them were good before the Gospel came and made them better. One of the most remarkable instances that I have known or read of is a story that is given by the Abbe Hue, in the second volume of his travels in Tartary and Thibet. I will only give you that, and then sit down. The abbe, as his title suggests, was a Catholic missionary. He was in Lhassa, the great sacred city of Thibet, v/here one of the highest forms of Buddhism has its chief centre, a form in which Buddhism has accepted a great deal of Christianity. In that city there was a Chinese physician. He was a young man. The abbe says that he was not more than thirty years of age, but such had been his austerities that his hair was white -with premature age, and his face furrowed by the sternness of his discipline. He lived to serve the poor, from whom he £'50 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. would take no payment whatever. Occasion led liim one morning to the Catholic Mission. The fathers were in their little chapel repeating their breviary. He went and stood at the door until they were finished. He looked in, and for the first time in his life beheld the figure of Jesus Christ upon the cross. When they were finished, without a single word or act of the ceremonial politeness of which we heard last night, he eagerly inquired the meaning of that on which he had looked. The fathers told him of the great God we worship, that came down to earth, that shared our curse to take it away, and of the salvation that comes through the Cross. He was lost in contemplation, and gazed for half an hour before the cross, and then falling on his face he touched the earth thrice with his brow in token of submission, and rising, said to the abbe, " That is the only true Buddha, and men should worship none but Him." Then bowing to the abbe, he said, " You shall be my master; take me as a disciple." They taught him then and there the Christian creed, and to their astonishment the only words he uttered were, ' ' I believe, I believe." He left the Mission with a crucifix about his neck ; and from that day, with Up and life, he declared the Gospel of the Son of God. I put these things before you just to accentuate this truth ; that we cannot go anywhere but we find that God's love has been before us, and God's Spirit working. And I want to urge on you that you are denying bread to the hungry and the yearning when you deny Christ to them. If, Sir, in multitudes of cases men are yearning for the bread of life before they know the Gospel, how much more when they begin to hear of it I In North China we have people by hundreds asking what they must do to be saved ; and there is nobody to tell them. Brethren, send a dozen fresh men and a dozen women to that field, and Ave shall find that there is a plenteous harvest of souls that need only the touch of the sickle to be gathered into the garner of God. The Cliairman next called upon THE REV. GEORGE BARRETT, B.A., of the Princes Street Congregational Church, Norwich, who spoke as under : — Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, — My first duty this evening is to offer to you and to the churches you represent the hearty and devout congratulations of your brethren among the Congregationalists that in the goodness of God you have been permitted to Avitness the celebration of the Centenary of the Baptist Missionary Society. The Baptist churches of this land have had many honours laid upon them in their long and eventful history. I never wish to forget, for instance, that you were the first to protest against all persecution in the name of religion; the first to THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. ^51 deny the right of the civil power to coerce the conscience of man ; the first to fight the great battle of civil and religious liberty ; but among all your honours I know none greater than this— that you number amongst your illustrious dead the name of William Carey, and that the Baptist Missionary Society, of which he was one of the main founders, was the pioneer of the great foreign missionary work of the Church during this nineteenth century. It is true, I know, that the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel is actually older in years than the Baptist Missionary Society, but it is none the less true that the great originating impulse which led to the formation of all our modern missionary societies came from this town of Kettering, from that little back parlour where, on October l2nd, 1792, the Baptist Missionary Society was formed, twelve men being present, and where the first collection for the conversion of the heathen world was made, amomiting altogether to £13 2s. (id. Let me say, by the Avay, that I have always regarded the year 1786, six years earlier, as the real date of the foundation of the Baptist Mis- sionary Society. At any rate, it was in that year that Carey published his famous essay, and it was in the same year, almost at the same time, by one of those singular providences of God of which history is full, that away in India, Charles Grant, all unknown to Carey, was proposing a plan for missionary work among the Hindus, a plan that ultimately led to the formation of the Church Missionary Society. We can hardly realise to-day — so completely has the idea of foreign missionary work now saturated the Church — the enormous difficulty of the task undertaken by Carey. Wilberforce said in the House of Commons, " I do not know a finer instance of the moral sublime than that a i)oor cobbler working at his stall should have conceived the idea of converting the heathen to Christianity. Milton planning ' Paradise Lost ' in his old age and blindness was nothing to that poor cobbler at his stall." And Wilberforce was right ; but Carey had at first a more difficult task than even the conversion of the heathen ; he had to convert the Church at home first of all to believe in the possibility of the heathen being converted, and in the duty of the Church to attempt the v/ork. Let me give you one or two facts which I met with a short tiiiie ago in a very interesting little volume by the late Professor Christlieb, on Protestant Missions, and which will be some indication of the feeling of the Church in regard to missionary work among the heathen in Carey's time. When Carey himself first proposed, at a conference of Baptist ministers at Leicester, that they should discuss the duty of the Church in regard to foreign missions, he was " peremptorily commanded by the astonished conference to be silent," and one good brother said, "If God wished 252 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. to convert the world, He could do it without the help of brother Carey." The same kuid of feeling was very generally prevalent in all the churches. As late as the year LSOO the Scottish General Assembly declared the idea of missions to the heathen to be " fanatical, absurd, dangerous, and revolutionary " ; and in America, when Adoniram Judson asked the General Assembly of the Congregational Chm-ches at Massachusetts whether the idea of missionary work he had tried to set before them was "visionary and impracticable," and whether they would help him to carry it out, he met with little or no response or sympathy from his brethren, but rather the opposite, and one editor of a religious news- paper said in a leading article, " I think it my duty to crush this rising missionaiy spirit." Abroad the heathen were too often regarded even, by professedly Christian men, as beneath contempt. On the doors of some of the churches in Cape Town there was a notice to this effect: "Dogs and Hottentots not admitted here;" and when one of our own missionaries ventured to speak to the French Governor of the Isle of Bourbon about the Madagascar Mission, the Governor said, "Convert the Malagasy? Impossible ; they were brutes, and had no more sense than irrational cattle." These facts wUl be enough to show that Carey, and those noble men who were his fellow-labourers, John Sutclift", John Ryland, Andrew Fuller, had set themselves to no ordinary task when they determined to rouse the Church at home to its duty to the heathen. But they did it. The two great divisions of Carey's great sermon at Nottingham, ^^ Expert great tliluys from Uud : dare to du great tilings fur Ovd," rang like a trumpet-call thi-oughout the Church ; and in a few short years the Church was roused from the slumber of centiu-ies, and the work that has brought us here to-night was begun. I am not going to be so foolish as to tell you in Kettering Carey's life. You all know its wonderful record — how he laboured forty-two years in India, during which he founded twenty-seven native churches, published forty translations of Scripture, established a college and hundreds of schools, initiated many of those social and legal reforms which are now bearing fruit in India, devoted an immense sum, not less, I believe, than £46,000, to missionary work, and died, as he had lived, a humble, noble, great-souled Christian man. Yes ! but when you have said all this you have not touched Carey's greatest work. His greatest work was hot done in India, but in England. He, and he alone, began the modern missionary enterprise of the Church. He, and he alone, sowed the first seeds of that tree which has now grown into the mission work of the Church. THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 253 Just look at these dates for a moment, and tell me if they are not eloquent and suggestive : — In 1792, the Baptist Missionary Society was founded; in 179 j, the London Missionary Society ; in 179(3, the Scotch Missionary Society; in 1799, the Church Missionary Society; in 1810, the American Missionary Society ; in 1813, the Wesleyan Missionary Society; in 1815, the Lutheran Missionary Society, and in 1821, the oldest missionary society, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, which had hitherto confinod its labours to British possessions, became a distinctively missionary society. Nor is tins all. There are peojjle at home — I do not know if you have ever met with them in Kettering- who tell us there is plenty of work to do in England, and that it would be far better if we Christian people were to try and convert the heathen at home before attempting the conversion of the heathen abroad. I am always pleased when I meet with such a man. I say to him at once, " You are just the person I wanted to see. Our Home Missionary Society is sadly lacking funds. How much will you give me amiually to convert the heathen at home ? ' ' Seriously, however, there is one answer to this miserable excuse for selfishness that has always seemed to me singularly complete, and it is this : — Instead of foreign missionary work draining away the interest of the Church from its home missions, the opposite is the fact, for the Church at home never took any kind of interest in home missions imtil its foreign missionary work had begun. If the sequence of dates proves anything, it proves this, that home missions in a veiy real sense are the child of foreign missions ; for the Eeligious Tract Society, the Sunday School Union, the Bible Society, the London City Mission, were all founded in the years following the commencement of the foreign missionary work of the Church. The tnith is, the same impulse that leads a man to care for the conversion of tlie heathen will lead him to long for the salvation of tlie unsaved at home. There are not two missionary works of the Church, there is only one missionary work. The same Divine Lord who told His disciples to " begin at Jerusalem," also told them to " Go out into all the world and to preach the Gospel to every creature." I am anxious, however, in the time that remains to me, to ti'y and say a few words which may lead some of the young men and women pi-esent to devote themselves to this great work. This is the closing meetino- of a week of memorable meetings; you have called it a " Thanks o-i vino- Meeting," and what thanksgiving could be more acceptable to God than that some yoimg lives should be led to lay themselves on the altar, asking God to accept them for missionary service ? I never like to speak on a missionary platform as if our greatest need was the need of money. I have sometimes been afraid that the constant appeals for money which are n^ade, perliaps necessarily niade, by all 251 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. missionary societies have unconsciously lowered the tone of our churches with regard to missionary work, and have led some of our people to look at missions mainly as a matter of pounds, shillings, and pence, which somehow or other must be raised. I do not find our Lord ever told His disciples to appeal for money ; certainly He never told them to ask God for money. He did charge them solemnly to ask God for men : "The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few ; pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest that He would send forth more labourers into the harvest ; " but I never heard of any church being told to ask for money. And the reason seems to me clear enough. If the Church will only consecrate to God what is far more precious th.an monej^ its treasure of hearts and lives ; if it will find the men, Christ will find the money, and whenever and wh(u-ever there are any waiting to go, Clirist will provide the means to send them. We need money ; do not misunderstand mo, Ijut it is our smallest need. Money is the least, the vei-y least gift you can offer to Christ fni- the evangelisation of the world, and some Christian people have not yet learnt to offer even this poor gift ; but our greatest need is of men, true, strong, consecrated, who shall devote their lives to this one work — the noblest work that God has ever entrusted to any creature — the winning of a revolted world back to the authoi-ity and the love of God. How shall I appeal to you young men and women to-night ? Let me try and set before you one or two very simple considerations, none of them novel or original, but all of them, I hope, true, which may lead some of you to ponder yoiu' duty in this matter. ( 1 ) First of all, is there not a special and most significant call of God to the churehes in the fact that God has now opened the whole world to receive the Gospel of Christ? It is a twice-told tale, I know, but we have grown so familiar Avith it that we have forgotten that it is only ver}"- recently, within the lifetime of many who are here to-night, that the missionaiy of Christ could enter the heathen world with the light of the Gospel. When Carey began his V\'oi-k, the whole heathen world was barred and closed against the entrance of any European missionary. Morrison worked thirty-five years before he was allowed to enter China, and then only five ports— " Treaty Ports," as they were called — were opened, and it vv'as not till the year 18G0, fifty-three years after Eobert Morrison landed in China, that all that vast and wonderful country was th]-ov/n open to the Gospel of Christ. So it was in India. Carey was not permitted to preach ; missionaries went out only to be sent home again. Judson was forbidden to open his lips, and had to fly for his life to a Portuguese vessel lying in the harbour. It was not till 1813 that the first charter permitting European missionaries to preach in India was granted, and it was not till the terr'blo Mutiny of 1857 wrote the name of India in tears and Till'; MH^.TIXfiS AT KI'lTTERIXO. 2-"):) blood on tho heart of the English people that all India was practically flung open to rocoivo the Gospel. The same thing might be shown to be true, if I had time, of every heathen country. Look at Japan, now rapidly becoming a civilised and a Christian nation. It was hermetically sealed against the Gospel up to 1858, and even then the door v>'as only just ajar. It was not till 1871 that the visit of some students from Japan to America, who went there to learn how to make big guns and to study navigation, but who returned to their own country carrying the Gospel with them, laid the foundation of Christ's Kingdom in Japan. It was in 1872, after a week of prayer, that the fu-st Japanese convert was won for Christ, and now the whole land is simply ready for the Gospel of Christ. Think of Africa, an unkno.vn land, literally "the Dark Continent" until 1858, when it was first thrown open to the light; or think of Now Guinea, the largest island in the world, with tho single exception of Australia, imvisited and untrodden until 187.'3, its fair beauty marred with scenes of blood and cannibalism and lust, the homo at once of birds of Paradise and men of hell, but now receiving the Gospel of Christ from its own sons ; and what is true of China and India and Japan and Africa and New Guinea is true of all the world. There is not one great country now closed against the messengers of the Cross. Even in Italy the Baptists have, I believe, not less than sixteen places open for Protestant worship. The daik places of Europe, as well as the dark places of heathenism, are waiting for the light. The Crimean War first, and later on the Bei'lin Treaty, have opened Europe to the Gospel. A hundred years ago the world was shut, now it is open. God is calling us, esj)ecially of the Anglo-Saxon race, to go in and possess tho land ; what response are you going to make to the call ? I do not want you to ask whether you ought to go out as a missionary ; I want you to reverse the question, and to ask — Ought I to stay at home 'r We have plenty of laboiu-ers at home ; in some places we have moi-e than enough, foi- I sometimes think Christ's Kingdom would gain if half the places of worship in our country villages and small to's\Tis were shut up ; but abroad this field is limitless, white to the harvest, waiting to be reaped, and oh, the reapers are so few I Will you ask, standing before the Cross to-night — Ought I to stay at home with this call sounding in my ears ? (2) Then, again, does not Clu'istian England owe something to the heathen that it has not yet paid ? I am not now thinking of the salvation of the heathen, of the supreme claim they have on us to tell them of the salvation of Christ. We all admit that we are dcMors to Jew and Gentile alike, just as St. Paul was ; but I am not now thinking of this gi'eatest debt due to the heathen when I say Enghn^d owes the heathen something. 256 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. What has England done for the heathen ? Do you say it has sent them missionaries, and Bibles, and schools ? True, but is this all ? Is there not another side, a dark sad side to the work of England among the heathen ? Have you forgotten the hateful opium traffic forced on China at the point of our bayonets, in order to feed our Indian Exchequer by the opium tax — a tax that is the wages of death, a tax that means blasted homes and ruined lives ? Have you forgotten the strong drink that is destroying whole tribes in Africa, the fire-water that is burning up their homes and their Hves, the path of the white man being marked, as we have recently been told, by the empty demijohns of strong drink which have been sold to the people ? Have you never heard that fearful reproach heathen lips have learnt to utter — " He drinks like a Christian " ? Have you forgotten that too often with the blessings of civilisation have gone the vices of civilisation as well, and that our sailors and om- soldiers have not always been bright examples of Christian living ? Have you not marked the slow sapping of the faith of India in its ancient superstitions and idolatries, which have been the result of the introduc- tion by us of European science and literature into the land, so that even Hindus are beginning to say to us, "You are destrojang our faith in our old gods and our old religion ; what are you going to give us in their place ? Take care, or you Avill make us a nation of athiests." Have you pondered ail this, and can you deny we owe a heavy debt to the heathen nations of the world ? They have enriched om- commerce — " Every £1 spent in missions," Mr. Gladstone said, "has brought £15 back in commerce to the country" — and what have we done for them ? We have given £1 out of every £1,000 of the income of this great and rich people for their evangelisation ; we have sent them a handful of men, of noble men, all too few for the work we have entrusted to them, so that there is only one missionary, on an average, for every 400,000 of the heathen. This is one side of what we have done, but, on the other, greed of gain, and lust, and drink, and vice have too often gone with the white man, and the fair name of England has been stained with the shame and dishonour of her unworthy sons. Have you no ambition to pay something in discharge of this heavy debt that England owes to the heathen Avorld ? Have you no desire to wipe away some of the foul stains which have gathered on her name ? Is there, can there be, a nobler patriotism than to live and to toil so as to make the name of your coimlry honoured and loved in all the earth ? (3) And then, lastly, I wantyou, above all, to think of the honour and o-lory of being used by Christ in His own great woi-k, the work which brought Him from heaven to the sorrow and shame and death of the Cross, the salvation of the world. I sometimes think we have talked too much of the sacrifice a missionary makes. Do not misunderstand me, I beseech you. God forbid that any THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 25 man who lives iii comfort at liome should speak lightly of the sacrifice s which many a missionary, and many a missionary's wife, have made for Christ's sake. I do not undervalue them, but I never wish to speak first of the sacrifice. I will speak of the honour first and of the sacrifice last. I do not say every missionary is a hero. There are, doubtless, some among them, as there are some in the ministry at home, who are Aveak and self-indulgent and miworthy, although I confess I have never yet met them ; but I do say that the service the true and devoted missionary renders to Christ is the highest and noblest and most honourable service Christ entrusts to men on this earth. You may have seen a man with a little bit of ribbon and a plain iron cross on his breast pruned there by the Queen " for valoiir," and the possessor of that Victoria Cross is lightly regarded with admiration and almost with envy by those who know him ; but there are men and women laboui-ing to-day in obscure and far-off districts of this earth who wear a prouder decoration in the sight of heaven than any Victoria Cross. There are soldiers of Christ who have laid down their lives, not for earthly glory, but for theii- Lord and for the salvation of men, who are crowTied with an honour the Queen of England could never bestow. Head the stoiy of the death of brave and noble Bishop Hannington in Africa ; the yelling crowd ; the bishop calmly singLug ' ' Safe in the arms of Jesus"; then he is thrust for the night into a hut swarming with vermin, too weak even to hold his precious Bible in his hands ; then the next morning, the glittering sjjears Hash round him, and, as he dies, he utters the words, never to be forgotten, "Tell the King I die for the Baganda ; I purchase the road to the Baganda with my life" ; or read the story of dear Gilmour's lonely life amongst the Mongols, just told us with such pathos and interest by Mr. Lovett, how for all those long years he lived in the indescribable filth and misery of a Mongol hut, without a white man's face to cheer him or an English voice to bid him take courage, and died worn out at last without ever having been jiermitted to baptize one solitary convert ; or read again the noble and heroic history of yoiur own Congo Mission, a whole family dying for Christ, not " counting then- lives dear unto them," if you want to know the stuff of which the real missionary is made, if you desire to see heroism and courage and devotion in their noblest forms. Young men I young women ! I appeal to you. Get the luost this Avorld can give you. And what is it ? At most, but reputation— a tinted bubble that a breath destroys. But God offers you glory, etenuil glory, the honom- of being associated mth Him in the redemption of the world. Is there not one here to-night who will hear the Master asking, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us ? " and who will say, " Here I am, send me " ? [ My closing word shaU be to parents. 17 258 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. Not long since there lived in a quiet country town a godly Wesleyan minister who had two sons. One of them went out as a missionary to the East ; the other went to Cambridge and won for himself an illustrious name, and in time became famous throughout the world as one of the discoverers of a new planet, the planet Neptune. One day a friend who had heard of the distinction Professor Adams had gained — for it is to him I refer — called on his father and congratulated him on his son's brilliant success. The old man's face beamed with delight, but he quickly answered, " I have a son of whom I am even prouder than I am of my son at Cambridge." "Who is he?" asked his friend with some astonishment. "It is my son who is a missionaiy," the father replied. Or take one other illustration. There is no name more honoui-ed by all the chiu'ches of Christ in this country to-day than the name of the Bishop of Durham. He has laid us all under a debt of obligation we can never hope to repay, by his invaluable commentai"ies on some of the most precious books in the New Testament, and by the fi-uitful and stimulating influence of his sermons and writings, but among all the well-deserved honour that has fallen on Bishop Westcott there is none, in my judgment, so high as this, that he has at this moment thi-ee of his five sons laboui'ing in the mission field. Christian parents, some of you may already have made sacrifices for your Lord. You may have sacrificed your time, your money, yourself in His service, but it may be that the crowning and most blessed sacrifice of your lives still waits to be rendered to God. God may be calling you to surrender to Him what is more precious to you than time or than money, more precious than your own life. He may be asking you to sui-render your child for His service among the heathen. Can you say, as a father said in parting with his only son not long ago for this work, " If I had twenty childi'en I would gladly give them all to my Saviour for this blessed work " ? God give us all grace so to live that when the Kingdom of Christ shall come, and He is crowned King of all the earth, we may be found to have shared the toil and the sorrow and the sacrifice which have helped to bring His Kingdom in, The last speaker was THE KEV. J. MONRO GIBSON, D.D., of the Presbyterian Church, St. John's Wood, London. I consider, he said, it a great privilege to take any part, however small,, in this great celebration. First, for the opportunity it affords me of rejoicing in the joy of my beloved brethren of the Baptist chm-chesy following as it does so swiftly the sorrowful privilege of weeping with THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 259 you in your sorrow. I do not know if it lias ever fallen to the lot of any single division of tlie great army of Christ before to gather around itself twice in the brief space of six months the sympathetic feeling of the whole of Evangelical Christendom. Your grief in January was the giief of all; and now the universal Church rejoices in your joy. We are one after all, one in the deepest, truest sense. There is no schism in the body, for ' ' whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it ; or one member be honoui-ed, all the members rejoice with it." Thanks- giving is the key-note to-night. And most appropriate it is that praise should be the final note of this series of gatherings. The subject is one which should thrill our souls as nothing else does. For is not the Christian one who "seeks first the Kingdom of God " ? What, then, should inspire him with loftier emotions of gratitude than to have the chief desire of his heart so richly gratified as it must be by the retrospect of these last one hmidi'ed j^ears ? True, there is nothing to boast of, so far as we are concerned ; for what has been done is as nothing to what might have been ; but considering that God works through us as instruments, and that so very few of us so put ourselves at His disposal as that He can use us, it is marvellous to think what God had wrought. " Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake." Not very long ago I crossed the Marshall Pass in the Rocky Moimtaiiis, where the train has to climb a height of over ten thousand feet before siu-mounting the ridge. For a long time at first we seemed to be winding about on the plain, gaining a little, no doubt, from time to time, but nothing perceptible. By-and-by, however, we came to a point where the engines fairly addressed themselves to the mountain, and by their laboured panting and slackened speed showed plainly that the work had begun in earnest. Even after that, indeed, we had long stretches of almost level ground, and sometimes it seemed as if we were actually going down. If we laboured up a steep ascent for a few minutes, we might for nearly half a mile thereafter gain almost nothing — so much Bo that, when we would reach a part of the road from which we could see below us the line on which we had been running an hour before, it seemed scarcely credible that we had gained so much. Now, it seems to me as if this Centenary year brought us to a point in the onward pro- gi'ess of the Kingdom from which we can look down, and see far below us where the train was when first it addressed itself in earnest to the ascent of the great mountain. " But a century is a tremendous time," you say. •' Even the Marshall Pass can be traversed in less than a day." But if a thousand years is with the Lord as one day, what is a centmy ? It is less than two hours and a half in the Divine day. If then, after two hours and a half, we can look down and see far below us the track on which the Church has travelled upward, we may well raise oiu' song of thanks 17* 200 THE CENl^EiTAEY CELEBRATION. and praise to Him who lias so far brought us on our steep and toil» some way. Up till 1792 there had been no serious and sustained attempt to take the hill. Not that the train was standing ; but it still made its way only where there was no serious difficulty. The great mountain of heathenism was there, but it only skii-ted it ; a solitary passenger now and then — an Eliot, a Brainerd, a Schwartz — had left the train and tried the steep alone ; but the train itself went on along the level ground, and sometimes down the hill again ; and if the thought were ever entertained that the mountain should be scaled, it was dismissed at once as wholly visionary. So things moved quietly along till Carey arose and summoned the Church to take the hill. How immoderately he was laughed at for his folly we all know, and how, when he himself led the way, so many obstacles^artificial obstacles, added to the sufficiently numerous natural ones — were interposed that if he had not been a very Hercules of faith he would have despaired a hundred times, and given it up as hopeless. But "the hour had come, and the man." Thank God for the man ; for the faith, and hope, and courage, and patience, and perseverance which showed him to be one of earth's very greatest, not a whit behind the very chiefest of the Apostles. Never, perhaps, in the history of the Church has there been a more signal illustration of the Apostle's word, " God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty, and base things of the world and things which are despised hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not to bring to nought things which are ; that no flesh should glory in His presence." "Would that eveiy follower of Christ in this centennial year pondet'ed well that marvellous history to which in His providence He is summoning our attention now. When did failui'e ever seem more visibly stamped on a life than on William Carey's, when, after having tried his hand at gardening, at shoe-making, at school- teaching, he had not shown himself able to make a decent living at any of them P But there was a fire in his heart which nothing could quench, which after many years he succeeded in kindling in a few other hearts of like precious faith with himself ; and then, regardless of the sneers of the world and the frowns of the Church, he took passage for India himself, and when after his piu'pose was discovered he was ejected from the ship, with no prospect now of securing a passage imder his country's flag, he found a Danish vessel and set off with all his family, like Abraham of old. But the foreign Canaanites were kindness and hospitality itself to Abraham compared with what the East India Com- pany was to Carey. What terrible years were the fii'st seven of his long sojourn— disappointment after disappointment, prospects of success vanishing and blank failure fronting him again, at tinaes no other out- THE MEETINGS AT KETTERING. 2G1 look than that of perishing with hunger ; and then the fevers, the heart- aches, every kind of trial and soitow, without the comfort of the sympathy even of his wife, who never ceased to reproach him fOr his folly ; yet it would seem that his faith never for one moment failed. Listen to these words wa-itten from a miserable hut in the suburbs of Calcutta, his wife and two children ill of fever, the present and future dark as dark could be : — " All my friends are but One. I rejoice, how- ever, that He is all- sufficient and can satisfy all my wants, temporal and spiritual. Everything is kno^vni to God, and God cares for the Mission. Bless God I feel peace within, and rejoice in having undertaken the work." Hear him again as he writes home from the pestilential region of Sunderbunds : — "When I left England my hopes of the conversion of the heathen were very strong; but amidst so many obstacles they would utterly die, unless upheld by God." Then after enumerating some of the obstacles, he goes on: — "Well, I have God; and His word is sure. Though the superstitions of the Hindus were a million times moi-e deeply rooted, and the examples of Europeans a million times worse than they are; if I were deserted by all and persecuted by all, yet my hope, fixed on that sure word, will rise superior to all obstacles and triumph over all trials. God's cause will triumph, and I shall come out of all trials as gold puiified in the fire." Through seven long years fiUed with such teri-ible experiences he passed before the great Avork at Serampore began which in its magnificent results fully justified all the sacrifices through which it had been reached. And this man, who at home had been an indifferent shoemaker, a poor schoolmaster, and an obscure village preacher, became one of the most accomplished Oriental scholars of his day, or of any day, pi'ofessor of Bengali in the Government College at Calcutta, conducted with conspicuous ability and great success one of the grandest missions the Church has ever had, prepared grammars and dictionaries of several of the languages of India, and made translations of the Scriptirres in whole and in part in — I believe the number is thirty-nine — languages and dialects ; and, after these Herculean laboiu-s and unparalleled successes, passed away without a word of boasting — with thanksgiving, indeed; but in the good old Hebi'ew strain, " Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us ; but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy and for Thy truth's sake." Thanks be to God for the faith of Carey, for his terrible trials even, seeing these prepared the way for its many triumphs. Now the uphill work has been going on for one hundi-ed years. Not always with the same marked success as at Serampore. At times it has seemed as if we were gaining almost iiotliing, and sometimes the despairing sort would think and even say that missions were a failure ; 262- THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. but as we look back we see now that decade after decade the course has been steadily upward, till now at the close of the tenth decade we can chronicle a progress which ought to insph'e every heart with the liveliest gratitude and hope. Thrak first of the change in public opinion. One hundred years ago Carey's was a voice crying in the wilderness. Now the universal Church acknowledges that he was right, and repeats his summons to its utmost borders; and even the world is respectful now. There is criticism enough on missionaries and theii' methods ; but no man with any regard for his reputation can now afford to sneer at the great entei-prise, in public at least. Statesmen and historians of highest repute have borne their witness, and even the scientific sceptic, though he looks coldly on if he cannot altogether avert his eye, has not a word to say since Charles Darwin gave the world his verdict on the Patagonian Mission. If the Eev. Sydney Smith, Canon of St, Paul's, were with us to-day, I am sure he would be gentleman and Christian enough to make the amende honcnrthh. to the " nest of consecrated cobblers " which even he could not root out ; or, if he still persisted in the old strain, his would be the voice crying in the wilderness now. One hundred years ago the infant enterprise had to make its first great financial effort, resulting, as every one knows, in £13 2s. 6d., and that a noble offering, too, coming, as it did, out of the deep poverty of the few choice spirits who were then the sole representatives of the new faith and hope. And now .the same Society which began with these £13, proposes to raise £100,000 as a thankoffering, while the aggregate income of the societies and boards which have grown out of that little move- ment in Kettering has reached what is comparatively the colossal sum of two and a half million pounds a year. And it is admitted on all hands that this is far too little — how small, for example, compared with the truly colossal amount which makes up the drink bill of the year, £130,000,000 for our country alone ! When Christians generally shall have learned to seek first the Kingdom of God, these two and a half millions may seem as small as does the £13 2s. 6d. to us now. One hundred years ago it was against obstacles well-nigh insur- mountable that Carey and his comrades secm-ed a footing in India, the keys of which were held by his own countrymen. Now the whole Avorld lies open, and missionaries have to confess, as one of ours did the other day in Exeter Hall, that they have seldom to tell of those "moving accidents by flood or field" which often made the early missionaries' reports such exciting reading. " Instead of hairbreadth escapes from the claws of a tiger," said our missionary, "we have only to relate how we set up a presbytery." A commonplace matter that setting up of a presbyteiy in China; but what would Morrison have thought of it, or Buins ? What would have been thought of it a THE MEETINGS AT KETTEEING. 2C3 hundred years ago, or even fifty years ago ? What does it mean ? It means a thoroughly- organised native church over a large district, self- governing, largely self-sustaining, self- propagating, too ; for our presbyteries in China are missionary societies. Every Presbyterian church is a missionary society. Oiu* theory is that not a society in the Church, but the Church itself, as a whole, should be a missionary institution. So in China each presbyteiy has not only its home mission work, but its foreign mission work, sending forth its own members, themselves redeemed from heathenism, to preach the Gospel to their less favoured brethren in the regions beyond. All this is involved in the setting up of a presbytery. Think what it means, then, in the Avay of progress, that news like that has become a commonplace ! Yes ; we have come a good way up the hill. But it is a long way yet up to the top. In his opening address at the Congregational Union, Dr. Herber Evans gave the Welsh version of a well-knoAvn passage thus : ' ' Climb higher, thou herald of Zion, to a very high mountain." I commend it as a watchword to the Baptist Missionary Society in this Centenary year. You have been our herald, you have done well and nobly ; but climb higher, far higher, even to a very high mountain. Let it be a watchword to us all. There is a point in the St. Gothard road where you can not only look down to where you came from, but up to where you must go. Let us look up as well as down in, this Centenary year. There is much hard climbing yet before us ; the mountain is very high, and the obstacles in the way are no less formidable than they have been. Besides the natural and necessary obstacles there are the most unnatui-al and unnecessary hindrances which come from the cursed traffic in drink and in opium, and in Africa the awful horrors of the slave trade still. To look back is inspiring enough, but the upward look is that which tries our spirits. There is as much need as ever of the faith and hope and courage and patience and tireless perseverance of the Careys of a bygone day. But happily there are no signs of these failing us. Even this age of luxury is furnishing its missionary heroes faster and in greater numbers than almost ever before in the history of the Church. Look at Africa. Think of Moffat and Livingstone, think of Hannington and Mackay, or, to mention men still happily spared to us, tliink of Stewart of Lovedale, and Laws of Nyassa ; think of the heroes of the Congo far too numerous to mention — think of that now illustrious name of Comber, six times inscribed on the martyr roll, three brothers, one sister, two wives — six noble lives yielded up one after another, without a thought of flinching, for Africa's emancipation. There is no lack of men — or women either — to hazard their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. What is wanted is the diffusion of the same spirit all over the Chm'ch, leading these at home, not to go to Africa, but to give them- selves to the advancement of the Kingdom each in his own way, 2G4 THE CENTENARY CELEBBATION. iind according as God lias called him ; for it does not mean leaving business, it does not mean changing place of abode, it does not mean neglecting claijus of family, it does not mean hurting ourselves ; it simply means presenting ourselves a living sacrifice to God, making it our first desire to know and to do His will in our different spheres of life, and to use, as He directs us, our talents, our time, our money, all we are and all we have ; and if only the Church at large were brought to this whole-hearted consecration, it could not be very long before the mountain of the Lord's house would be established on the top of the mountains, and all nations flow into it. The singing of the Doxology closed the meeting, and the Centenary proceedings at Kettering. THE CENTENARY FESTIVAL FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE.

LONDON. THE YOUNG PEOPLES FESTIVAL. This Festival was held at the Crystal Palace, on Saturday, July 23rd, 1892. THE MISSIONARY MEETING. The Chairman of this meeting was Sir Henry Havelock-Allan, K.C.B., a grandson of Dr. Marshman, of the famous Serampore triumvirate. As Sir Henry was late in arriving, the Treasurer temporarily j^resided, and called upon the Rev. Philip AYilliams, of Jamaica, to offer prayer. The first speaker was THE REV. J. LAWSON FOPvEEITT, of the (*ongo, who said : — Some of our friends would perhaps have advised us not to attenii^t to hold a missionary meeting amid the many attractions which surround one in the Crystal Palace, but the numerous company I see before me proves that those who organised the meeting were not mistaken in theii' hope that we should have a large attendance. Perhaps you are like the village boy in Leicestershire of whom I heard not long ago, who, seeing our coloui-ed friend, Mr. J. J. Fuller, in comjiany with a minister, asked if there was anything to pay to come into the chapel to see the black man. After the magniticent Centenary meetings recently held at Nottingham, Leicester, and Kettering, it is difficult to know what one can say that is new on this theme ; and of course you have all read the Centenary volume. If you have not, I hope you will do so without further delay. All who read that book must be struck with the extra- ordinary courage and faith of Carey and his companions. But I have been not less impressed by reading the part Fuller, the first secretary of the Society, took in the gi-eat undertaking. We are told that during one 268 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION, tour of six weeks lie travelled 1,200 miles (and there were no railways then, remember), and preaciied forty-two sermons ; and lie himself wi-ote : " Money poured in like rain in a thunderstorm." We have had j)lenty of rain lately, but I do not hear from our honom-ed treasurer, Mr, Eickett, that the money is pouring in at the same rate towards the Centenary Fund, although we hope the £100,000 may ere long be completed. £85,000 have already been subscribed. This movement had a very small beginning, and now we see whereunto it has gro^vn. I think it augurs well for the future that as we enter upon the second century of work we have as secretary our highly-esteemed and distinguished friend, Mr. A. H. Baynes, whose equally-respected colleague, Mr. Myers, is with us to-day. Still, while such great advance has been made during the past hmidred years, some, even among Christian people, if they do not actually ojipose it, yet stand aloof from the movement. I heard lately of a wealthy lady who said she would not subscribe to the Society because it was in debt. The friend to whom the remark was made replied that if the lady and others like her had done their duty, there ought to be no debt at all. Others say, " There are plenty of heathen at home." It is imhappily too true that there are vast numbers of unconverted people in England, but that is no valid reason for not sending missionaries abroad. Besides, we actually meet some of these unconverted Englishmen abroad, and too often they are a hindrance to our work. But we do not find that those who talk thus are at all distinguished for their liberality towards, or activity in. Christian work at home. Then it is asked — ^" Are the natives worth the money and labour expended upon them ? " In answer to that question we may refer you to our coloured missionary, Mr. Fuller, on the platform, and I have noticed that a London con- stituency has such faith in the ability and capacity of one who has been described by a promment politician as a "black man," as to elect that gentleman from India to represent them in Parliament. I have seen displayed by Africans qualities which we as Englishmen are wont to admire. On one of the voyages of the Peace on the Upper Congo a ooy fell overboard. Immediately two men sprang after him, and one succeeded in rescuing the boy. The other man was never seen again. It is sujjposed that he was seized by a crocodile, and thus he lost his life in trying to save another. Speaking of crocodiles reminds me of an incident which occurred in Congo which will perhaps interest the young people. There were a number of boys bathing when suddenly one shouted out that a crocodile had got hold of him. He had the presence of mind to clutch the overhanging branch of a tree, and, after struggling for some time, the crocodUe had to go off with the boy's arm only instead of his whole body. A white man living in the neighbourhood heard of the incident, and he went down to the riverside and took with . THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 2G9 liim a yOiitig pig. You ^vill say, " What for ? " Well, wlieii lie got the pig down there he began hammering it and making it squeal. The crocodile, hearing it, came up, thinking perhaps there Avas another meal for him, but received instead the white man's bullet. When they hauled the crocodile ashore they found in its inside the arm of the little boy. A missionary was once travelling in the Cataract region. His porters had left him far behind, and he was so exhausted that he was obUged to throw himself under a bush by the side of the path. Presently a native came along and my friend begged of him some water. The man went off to the nearest town and brought a calabash of i)alm wine, which when new is non-intoxicating and very refreshing. The native absolutely refused to accept payment, saying to the missionary : "I know you are God's man, and you come to be our friend, and I wiU not take anything for what I have done." The natives are keen traders, too, showing that they have a fail- share of brains. I would like to see one of you strike a bargain with a Congo man and get the best of it. Then they are men of some resource. A certain chief was constantly going to neighboiu'ing towns and making quarrels. His head-men met together to devise a plan to put an end to this state of things. They made a pair of heavy brass anklets, and brought them to theii' chief, as they said, to show their affection and esteem for him. He was over- come by their flattery and accepted the ornaments. He soon found, however, that they were so heavy that he could no longer go about as freely as he had done, and hence there was an end to the quaiTcls which he had so often caused between his own and neighboiiring towns. Two men who were present at a Sunday morning service at my station at Underhill went a journey in the afternoon, and on the way met one of the wives of a chief. One man proposed to rob and assault the woman, but his companion tried to dissuade him, saying, " You were at the Mission this morning and heard what God's white man told us, and liow can you do this thing?" We are greatly encouraged by the devotion of the native converts, who are very active in their efforts to evangelise their fellow-counti-ymcn, and thoy also contribute freely to maintain then- own native teachers. The chief of a town, who was once noted for his cruelty and sin, is now converted, and has built a chapel in which services are regularly held. By the last mail I received a letter from one of oui' native young men telling of his work in the towns and at school, and he says: "We are praying and working that it may become the custom of oui' country to love God and serve Him." A Belgian State official came to a mission station some time ago and told how, when travelling in the interior, ho stayed at a toAvn for the night, and hearing the drum sounding, lie inquired what it meant. The chief replied, "This is the hour when I 270 THE CENTENARY CELEBEATION. and my people meet to pray to God, and you must come and join us." The officer did so, and was mucli pleased with what he witnessed. Although comparatively few years have passed siace the work was commenced in Congo, much has been accomplished. Cruel practices have been abandoned by many, and superstition has a less powerful hold upon the people, especially among the young men. There is in many quarters an awakening after better things. A Congo man once said, laying his hand upon his breast, " I am so hungry for something, and I do not know what it is." This heart -hunger none can satisfy but the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the "Bread of Life." You who contribute towards the support of the work and do pray for it, and we who go forth to distant lands, are alike " workers together with God," and we shall rejoice together in the Great Harvest Day. Some talk of the sacrifice of life on the Congo, and ask why we go to that deadly clime. We reply, Christ did not say, " Go ye into aU the world except Central Africa," and, therefore, at His command we gladly go even to the Congo. Om* gallant chairman would tell us that in the very forefront of the battle is where every true soldier desu-es to be ; and if smitten down, his friends, while they mourn, rejoice also, and say, "He died Uke a soldier." We are engaged in a warfare greater far than any earthly conflict, even against the kingdom of Satan and the powers of darkness. We are in the sei-vice of the King of kings. WiU Christians hold back because of hardship and danger ? Never ! " Shall we whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high — Shall we to men benighted The lamp of life deny ? Salvation, oh, Salvation I The joyful news proclaim, Till each remotest nation, Has learnt Messiah's name." At this period of the meeting Sir Henry Havelock- Allan arrived, but, reserving his remarks, called upon THE REV. ARTHUR SOWERBY, of China, to speak. The following is his address :— Mr. Chairman and Chiistian Friends,— I am delighted once more to appear in the garb of a Chinaman to plead the cause of China. I am very pleased to say my last words to the friends from the London- Sunday-schools. I am a London boy myself, and I believe London has great responsibilities and a great work resting upon her. The London Sunday-schools sent out the heroic Comber family to Central Africa. We want you to do a similar thing for China. Some few years ago, whea THE MEETINGS IN LONDON, 271 our brother Mr. Shorrock came to Cliina, I took him out to see two of my Chinese friends, two old friends living in ii village. One of them was seventy-five years of age and the other ninety-two. We went to where these two old farmers were living on the mountain side, and went into the farmyard. I may tell you that the houses are simply caves dug out of the loose soU. I took my friend Mr. Shorrock into one of these caves where this old man was. It was summer time, and the old man's long grey haii- was hanging down his face — he had a little pigtail left — he was nearly bent double with age, his skin was bro^vn and wrinkled, and he had only enough wit left to know how to make his own food, he could understand but very little. As I gazed on this old man I thought what a contrast there was between him and my friend, Mr. Shorrock, who is six feet tall, straight as an arrow, a London graduate, and a fine, devoted Christian man. What a contrast ! Here, on the one hand, is China dying of old age, dying -without hearing the Gospel, and here, on the other hand, is young Christian England come in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to help to save China. That is the responsibility that is resting on the London Sunday-schools, to help on Avork like that. A day or two ago I had a letter from Mr. Shorrock, who is now in the province of Shensi. The people there are very turbulent and inclined to rebel. Two years ago they carried the telegraph wires across the countiy, and since then they have had very little rain. These people think it is all the fault of the telegraph wires, and in several places they have cut them down. In the midst of all the trouble and distress there is a little Christian church over there. Some time ago some emigrants went over in the depth of then- poverty from Shantung to Shensi. For thi-ee years they have been struggling hard to get a living, and now they have gathered together and got a church. Forty-five men, who had not met in a place of worship for three years, met together with theu' hearts ovei-flowing with thankfulness to Almighty God that He had brought them together again. They found every man to be true to the Lord Jesus Christ, willing to suffer persecution, to love one another, and to try their best to forward the Gospel. Do you know what is the condition of those men in their home ? They have felled down every bit of wood in their place to sell for food ; they have given away theii* last garments for food ; and now they are living on weeds and clover ; but, thank God, they are united to Jesus Christ, and Mr. Shorrock said they stood up and sang with the deepest feeling and praised God. My brethi-en, I want you to come and help us. You will not always be dressed as smartly as this ; the dress I have on is the dress of a Chinese mandarin ; you will be di-essed in cotton, you wiU be allowed to shave your head and grow your tail, and then you will go on the tramp round villages and preach the Gospel in many places where it has not been heard before. 272 TflE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. Lot my last word be this : "In the name of oiu- Lord Jesus Christ, on behalf of dying China, to you young men and young women, I say, ' Come over and help us.' " THE REV. T. R. EDWARDS, of Serampore College, then addressed the meeting. Dear Christian friends, he said, it is a very great pleasure to me to be here to speak to you this afternoon. I have come over from Serampore, where I have been living for the last few years, engaged in the work which Dr. Carey commenced so long ago. I want you to think about India, India is deserving of our attention. There are claims upon iis from all other parts of the world, but we must not neglect India. We must not neglect the work we have commenced there. God has permitted us in His providence to rule over the destinies of that great nation, a country with a population of over 300 millions, and the spuitual welfare of all these people is in our hands. Great work has been done in the past, but much remains to be done. We are proud when we think of the great progress which education and civilisation have made in India, but when we travel from one town to another, and work from one village to another, and see the masses of the population still steeped in ignorance, still practising the grossest superstitions, then we realise how great a work remains to be done. We must not think of India as a savage country. India has had a great past. In India there have been born some of the greatest architects that have ever lived ; we have some of the grandest places there that it is jDossible to see in any countiy under the sun. I need only refer to the Taj Mahal, that marble building at Agi-a, all built of pure white marble and inlaid with precious stones. The nation that could produce a building like that has something great in it. And then when you think of the great philosophers that India has had in the past, we realise that something may be made out of the Indian people. They are not savages, but a very civilised people ; still, when we come to think of their ^jresent condition, they are in a very low and deo-raded state. But what is it that has produced this ? It is the debasino- idolatry practised by the Indians. When you see the idols that they worship, and when you see the practices which are performed by them in connection with their idols, you do not wonder that they have sunk to this low condition. But it is possible for the people of India to be raised. Great things have been done in the past, and still greater things remain to be done. Oh let this Centenary year of the Baptist Missionary Society be the commencement of a new era in connection with the work in India ! You promised U3 a couple of years ago to send out thirteen new men for THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 273 ludia, and I believe I am correct in saying that, up to tbe present, not a single man has gone, and, so far as I know, there is not a single candidate before the Committee to be sent out to India. We want money, but we want more than money ; we want many of you here this afternoon to devote yourself to this great work. I believe that if the missionaries were forthcoming that God would provide the means. Oh, that some from amongst the great number present here this afternoon would devote themselves to this great work, and give their lives to this grand movement which Dr. Carey commenced ! I A\'ill not take up your time any longer, but I will conclude by singing to you one of our Bengali hjTuns. Having sung the hyimi, Mr. Edwards added ::^0h, dear friends, that you could realise the meaning of these words, " Christ the Bridegroom is coming, cast away yoiu* indolence, and welcome Him, and prepare for His approach"! Oh, that we might do that by casting away our indifference, and brace ourselves to nobler efforts for the spread of His glory ! The Chairman next called upon THE REV. J. J. FULLER, of West Africa, who said : — Mr. Chaii'man and Young Friends,— Let me assure you that joii have not to pay to see the black man to-day ; he is before you ; you can look at him as long as you like, and if any one of you can tell me when I blush then I will give the collection instead of you. I have oftentimes spoken to you young friends in different parts of the country, but at this hour we are brought face to face with the closing scene of the Baptist Missionary Society's hundredth year. I want you just to turn your eyes and look back at the past to the commencement of the Baptist Missionary Society, which has been the parent of all the different missionary societies that you see in England to-day. It originated with the small sum of £13 2s. 6d., and when you look around and see all the different societies and the different denominations that have been called to labour in this gi-and and glorious enterprise during the space of these hundred years, you have every reason to show gratitude to God for the gi-eat work He has caused us to do, not only His giving us the opportunity of going as a denomination to preach the Gospel, but as being the forerunner of all others that have followed in the work, and who are doing so much for the Master among the nations of the earth. The next thing that children ask is: " Oiu- fathers began this work, what have been the results of all their labours ^ " A hundred years ago, instead of saying you would like to see a black man, you would say 18 274 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. something like what the children say to-day, "Hush, the bogie man is coming," but a hundred years has made a difference. At the time the Baptist Missionaiy Society began there was not to be found a single man of colour in any of the African nations or among the African tribes who had ever heard or had ever held in his hand a book. For instance, one hundred years ago there was not one single individual person in my own country — but I do not know whether I ought to say my own counti-y, because our forefathers were stolen by you good English people and carried across there to the West Indies. Our country is Africa, but we are stolen goods. Our forefathers were stolen and cari'ied away to the West Indian Islands, which we now claim as our country, but really and truly Africa is the home that belongs to the African race ; and we are now scattered all over the world, because there was a time when men without feeling carried us from our own countries to other countries. But a hundred years ago our fathers in the Island of Jamaica had nothing like religion, nothing like education, nothing like the knowledge of God at all. They were all ignorant, and they were all, I may say, siUy barbarians ; but now we see that in less than one hundred years — I will even say within half a century — our people joyfully received the Gospel ; they have become a Christian nation, with Christian schools and an independent missionary society of their own. I can remember when I was a little boy my mother took me to the missionary — a little urchin I was then — and when he saw me he looked at me and said, " WeU, my little boy, what are you fit for ? " " Well," I said, "anything." Now you see what that "anything" has turned out. I remember the kindness, the tenderness, and the affection shown to the Africans by the missionary at the time we had no schools in our town. The Government would not allow us to build schools, because it was supposed that the black man had got no brains ; that our heads were too thick ; and that if you knocked a black man's head against a brick wall you would not knock any sense into it. So they would not allow us to build a school. But these missionaries came, and I remember the missionary who sat in a schoolroom with a bad headache with about 150 of us childi-en singing the alphabet as loud as we possibly could, because we thought the more noise we made the more we could learn ; but that missionary never grumbled. I remember the time when a missionary came from England, some English boy — I do not knoAv who it was — put into his hand a Bible, and said that he wanted some little black boy to have that Bible. Well, that Bible was put into my hands, and I looked at it, and asked what was in it, because I could not read. I wanted to know what was in the book. " Well," the missionary said, " it will tell you about Jesus Christ." I said, "What did Jesus Christ do for us ?" He said, " Christ folded little children in His arms, blessed them, and TUE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 275 said, ' Suffer little children to come unto Me.' " " Oh," I said, " if that is it, I will have it ! " I took the Bible and I read it, and the effect of it was that when I was nineteen years of age I not only consecrated myself to serve God, but I went from my home to dark Africa to preach the Gospel to my fellow-countrymen. Some of you look upon the African and say that he has not got any brain ; he has not got any capabilities of learning. I would only say to you, as a reward for your work and a rettuTi for the efforts you have put forth on behalf of us, just try the African for another one hundred or two hundred years and see if you will not have to look round the corner. He will follow you as sure as life. He has got as much brain as you have, and it is a wonderful thing we have that brain. God has taken care of it, and given us a good skull to cover it with. If we had youi- soft head, the sun would melt all the brain out of it ; but we have a good hard skull to keep it in. When we remember that fifty years ago our fathers were ignorant, and when we turn to what the Gospel has done, and the way it has elevated us to the position we now occupy, we have not only to thank you, but to thank God for the success He has given to the missionaries who have gone to our country. Let me assure you that your labours have not been in vain. Before the Germans took possession of the Cameroons Eiver we had a lot of young men whom we had taught, and when the Germans came the Baptist Missionary Society had to withdraw. What was the result ? Those black young men are now preachers of the Gospel, and one of them, writing to me last week, said that the country is now being changed, and the children are now learning to read, and the parents of the children are anxious that they should be taught the Word of God. Two of those men are the result of the kindness of the childi-en of the Sunday-school in Bloomsbui-y Chapel. They were taken up by the children in that school, and they are now preachers of the Gospel. When the German missionaries came, these young men gathered themselves together, and when they had heard what the German missionaries wanted them to do, they turned to me and said, "Please, sir, we will stick to oui-selves. We will carry on our own work independent of the Basle Missionary Society. We Avill go on and keep that which you have given to us." I, myself, at this time felt that it was a hard thing for them to do, and I said, " If you do not feel that you can carry on this work, do not attempt it." One of them looked me full in the face and said, " Do you tliink that our missionaries have been labouring among us all these years, and we are now going to prove imfaithful ? No, avo will hold our own, and we Avill carry on the work independent of every- body else." What has been the result of it ? These young men formed themselves into a committee of fifteen men, and during the last fom- years they 18*^ 27G THE CENTENARY CELEBBATION. have not only carried on the work, but they have built a church for themselves to hold a thousand people ; they have established fifteen different stations, supplying them with native preachers; they have raised among themselves an income of £990 to carry on the work of our God, and from the beginning of this year they have added no less than a hundred members to the Christian Church, and they are still carrying on the glorious work. Now, my young friends, when I remember the lime that I gathered these little children around me, and saw them, with their dark skin and their black eyes, singing this hymn, "Jesus loves me, this I know," and thought that Jesus Christ had all the power of raising them and making them white as snow, and Avhen I know that those little boys have grown up and still sing this same hymn, "Jesus loves me," I feel truly satisfied that the Bible is the only means whereby the heathen, wherever they are, can be elevated and lifted up and become fellow-citizens with the saints. Now, I trust as you have tried a hundred years, and have i^roved successful, you may be encoiu-aged to give, not only the means, but will go forth yourselves believing that you will not labour in vaiii, and that your strength will not be spent fur nought. THE CHAIRMAN. Ladies and Gentlemen, — I feel that it is due to you to offer an apology for my not being able to be present at the beginning of this meeting, as I had hoped. Being only a little late I have had the privilege of hearing the different speakers who have spoken before rising to address you. I trust that the result of this meeting will be to gather encouragement to go on in the great woik. As I am timed to be at another part of the building in a few minutes I will not detain you more than to say that after having heard what has fallen from the different speakers this afternoon— from the Eev. J. L. Forfeitt from the Congo, from the Eev. A. Sowerby from China, from the Eev. T. E. Edwards from Bengal — a place with which, perhaps, you will allow me to say my fii-st recollections are connected. From the gentlemen who have spoken we are enabled to gather that on the whole the work of the Baptist Missionaiy Society is having increased success, and we ought to take courage for the futiu-e from what has been recorded in the past. We gather also that the result of the Centenary eff'ort that has been made will be to realise thg whole of the sum which we propose to ourselves to gather, and which I for one, at all events, did not believe to be impossible. I am told that the result of the Centenary meetings held all over England has been to realise the sum of £8j,000. I think, therefore, that while there remains much to be done, yet our Society, and our denomination, are not, as some people would represent, weak or diminishing ; that having been the first in the missionary field a hundred year.3 ago, it still, by the help THE MEETlN(iS IN LONDON. 277 and blessing of God, liolds its o\\'n, and we tnist that it will continue to be blessed in its efforts until that final day shall come when the knowledge of God shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Previous to this meeting a concert was given by the Stockwell Orphanage Choir, under the direction of the Rev. Y. J. Charlesworth, the sweet singing of the boys and the performances of the hand-bell ringers being listened to with much delight. The Bloomsbury Chapel Gymnastic Club also deeply interested the young people by a display of wonderful feats ; and we must not forget to mention the Recital on the Great Organ by Mr. Fountain Meen, so kindly and ably rendered. THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. OCTOBER 3rd, 4th, at^d 5th, 1892. MOORGATE STREET, 1843-65. JOHN STREET, 1865-70. FURNIVAL STREET — PRESENT MISSION-HOUSE. HOMES OF THE SOCIETY SINCE THE JUBILEE, 1842 (the previous mission-house in fen court not now in existence). THE LONDON MEETINGS. The celebration of the Centenary in London took place during the week of the year it has been customary to hold the autumnal meetings of the Society, and which date very appropriately coincided with that on which — a hundred years ago — the Mission was formed. On Sunday, October 2nd, many of the churches throughout the denomina- tion made special collections for the Centenary Fund. In the evening of Monday, October 3rd, a devotional meeting was held in the Metropolitan Tabernacle, presided over by THE REV. JOHN ALDIS. Previous to the Chairman's address, Mr. Thomas H. Olney spoke a few words of cordial welcome, and referred to the serious condition of Dr. James A. Spurgeon's health. He said : — Dear Christian Friends,— I have been looking forward with very niucli jjleasure to this gathering, hoping that it would be a very happy one. As one of the officers of the Tabernacle, I beg, in the absence of the pastor, to offer oui- most sincere and hearty welcome to the representa- tives of the Baptist Missionary Society. For many years this church has been in sympathy with the Society, has worked for it, and not only that, but very many of the students of the Pastors' College have become honoured missionaries, some have laid do^vn their lives in' the Avork, and others are now very successfid missionaries ui different parts of the fiehl. I am very sorry that I should have to say anything to cast a gloom over the meeting, but when you hear the contents of the telegram which I have now to read, I am sure you will join in sympathy with the officers of the church, and with the church itself, that at this critical juncture such a mysterious providence should have transjiired. This telegram aiTived about an hour since from Croydon, and it is concerning om- dear pastor. Dr. James Spurgeon. He has been ill about ten days with gout in the throat. He has had it on previous occasions, and has generally got rid of it in about a week to ten days. Of course, it is very painful while it lasts, but it has never been considered dangerous to liiui before. I have been down to visit him twice. He was getting better. The first 282 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. time we found liim in bed ; the second time lie was sitting up, and talked quite cheerfully of being out in a day or two. With very great surprise I opened tHs telegram an hour ago, which is to the following effect : — "Pastor seriously worse. Second doctor says very critical condition." I hope that his illness may soon pass off, but I thought it to be my duty to acquaint the members of the church who are here, and also dear Christian friends who sympathise with us. We know very deeply the critical condition in which he is, or he would have been present here to-night, and I know he would have welcomed you with more enthusiasm, perhaps, than I am able to do. On the suggestion of Mr. Baynes, the following telegram was forwarded to Dr. Spurgeon : — " Greatly distressed at tidings. Cen- tenary Missionary Prayer Meeting commends you in special prayer to the gracious and sympathetic Saviour." The Chairman, having offered prayer, spake as under: — My dear Friends, — I ask myself how it comes to pass that I am placed here. One thing I will say — it is nothing to flatter vanity or to excite envy — I happen to be the oldest Baptist pastor in England. This place is 'sacred to me as it is to you. In the year 1853, preaching in Cam- bridge, one of my hearers caught my notice. He was young, fresh, and inquiring-looking. Leaning forward he listened with such earnest and sympathetic attention as I had never witnessed. In the vestry I asked, describing him, who he was. " His name is Spurgeon." After that, in this great metropolis, with you, I saw him, grateftdly admiiing his marvellous gifts, his yet more marvellous grace, both ripening into the most marvellous usefulness. His day's work is done : he sleeps in Jesus. We are bereaved, but through grace I hope to see him yet again, radiant with the glory of his Lord. Well, this is a missionary meeting. It tells, therefore, of the missionary enterprise. Two words abide with us, both of Him who once hung upon the cross and now reigns upon the throne. One is the creative spirit and living law of the Mission— " Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel." The other is its stay and strength and gladness— " Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." He is there, out of sight, but He has left those words. We believe them and try to live in them. But this is a Baptist Missionary Society meeting. I first spoke at one of its annual meetings in Finsbury Chapel, in the year 1836, and first went out as a deputation with Dr. Cox and Eustace Carey in the year 1831. I mention this, as I have known the Society sixty-one years, and known it well. To the yoimg I may bear my testimony as before God and man that I have never known men wiser, holier, happier, more devoted, or more beneficent than those who have THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 283 loved that Society most'andjserved it best. To me that service lias been a perennial spring of life and healing, a fragrant and songful garden of joy and rest. When I have been imbued with this temper or swayed by this impulse or animated by this love, I have realised the truest and highest experience of my poor life. For you, my young friends, the warmest passions of the heart, the mightiest energies of the soul, are here more than repaid — they are exalted and enlarged. Here this, too, is possible, for in some of those who have wrought I have seen it — that it may become beyond a possibility to be called to self-denial because the whole self has been absorbed and assimilated by the love of God. I take it this is a praise meeting, crowned with the numberless and priceless mercies of a hundi-ed years. Never was the work larger nor the prospects brighter. God Himself has appointed for us garments of praise. Let us gu-d ourselves with gladness, and speak only good of His name. But this is a missionary prayer-meeting. Thank God for the qualification ! " Prayer is the Christian's vital breath." Only while we pray we live I Prayer is the channel of blessing ; through that comes the Pentecost. When they continued in prayer and supplication the power came down upon them from on high. It was so at the begummg. During my long Life -I have noticed this, that whenever there has been an enlarged and intense spirit of prayer in the churches, the blessing has been very nigh — what to David was the soimd of the " going in the tops of the mulbeiTy trees " ; the great Deliverer was very near indeed 1 Others may do Avithout God ; they will not pray to Him. You and I cannot in this work do mthout Him. But our need is our wealth. Having nothing in ourselves we may seek and find all in God. Nowhere is prayer so plainly demanded, or by promise more gloriously sustained than in relation to this work. How the loved and sinless One delighted to look doAvn on the swarming millions of this earth and call them God s harvest I The angels get no higher than this — the reap(u-s ; Heaven itself has nothing better than this — God's ganier. But the prayer connects with the whole : ' ' Pray ye the Lord of the harvest to thrvist forth labourers into His harvest." They felt what they said, "Lord, teach us to pray; " and He taught them. But the lesson we have to leaiTi is just this : before we think of the daily bread so essential for this world, nay, before we think of the forgiveness of sins so essential for the better, we must begin, " Our Father which art in heaven, hallow(!d be Thy name ; Thy kingdom come ; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." " 0 Thou by whom we come to God, The Life, the Truth, the Way, The path of prayer Thyself hath trod, Lord, teach ng how to pray," 284 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. The Eev. Thomas Barrass, of Peterborough, having prayed, and Krishna Pal's hymn, "0 thou, my soul, forget no more," been sung, THE REV. JOHN TURLAND BROWN, of Northampton, delivered the following Centenary address : — Mr. Chaii-man and my old and dear Friend, — It gives me much pleasure — not so much to be here, for I feel my undertaking to be a very respon- sible one — but to sit by your side on such an occasion as this. I am sure, Christian friends, that we all feel, as our chairman has said, that this is not only a sacred place in which we are met, but that it is likewise a very sacred occasion ; and I think we all feel that it is a great time to which we have now come — great alike for the memories which it recalls, and also for the prospects which it presents to our view. "We are on the border-line between two centuries ; the one is closed, the other is begin- ning— between a yesterday on which a weight of glory rests, and a morrow which is golden with hope. Behind us are marvels for wonder and praise ; before us are visions of possibilities to excite our ardent zeal, and at the same time to chasten and to deepen our joy by a serious thoughtfulness as to the part that we must take in -order that the visions may turn into reality, and the days to come be even better than the days that are gone. In the meetings that we have held hitherto, the former things have greatly occupied oiu- mind and loosed our tongue. Oiu- eyes have been travelling back, travelling over the way we have already come ; we have been living during the months of this Centenary year amid the scenes and with the men of earlier days ; visiting the spring, far up amongst the hills, of that river which now flows wide and deep, tracking its course and marking " with thanksgiving and the voice of melody " whereto it has grown. And what is there, friends, more fit, more pleasant, than these excursions into that past where there is so much to arrest the eye and to gladden the heart of a reflective piety ? We should be wanting and unjust to God ; we should inflict serious loss upon ourselves, if in this year, specially set apart for the purpose, we did not seek to " stir up our pure minds by way of remembrance." The retrospect is most worthy of all the time and pains we may bestow upon it. It is a large space that we have to look over — it is as rich in spiritual treasures as is the land of Ophir in gold, and is as full of charms to entertain and feast the soul as of truths to em-ich it. "We meet at intei-vals with many a striking incident, facts that gleam with beauteous light, Inemorials of the experiences of our fathers, which touch us even at this day by their blended poetry and jiathos, works of God aflame with His glory like the bush that Moses saw, and proofs of His mercy and THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 285 faitlifuliioss as clear in their testimony as tlie signs and wonders of the desert. We meet with not a little to excite onr sui-prise, but far more to quicken our pulses and send us on our way with stronger hearts and swifter feet. Altogether the record is a marvellous stoiy. It wins upon our imagination ; it affords more to make our hearts bum within us, and to exalt and magnify our Lord in our view, the more we get at the secrets which it contains, and the oftener we turn aside to sec the great sights which it has to show. For what, in looking back over these hundred years, do we see ? Great things attempted ; great things done ; men great, great in the direction in which Christ was greatest, in compassionate love ; men that watched over the infancy of our Society with the patient tenderness of a mother, and laboured for it in the chill morning, which grew, but slowly, to a milder day, Asdth heroic fidelity, preparing the Avay for others after them by pioneer work, bravely done, and spending life in service till there was no more left to spend. What do we see ? We see the thought that sprimg in Carey's mind inspired from above — diffusing itself like light from a luminous centre ; kindred societies, one after another, si^cedily sijriuging up ; missionaries multiplied from the few, till we now count them by thousands; fresh fields continually entered upon, and " the world for Christ " become the set aim and holy ambition of the universal Christian Chui'ch. What do we see as we look back ? We see, in visible results, an amount of success which it is no exaggeration to call great. We see strenuous labour, hard fighting, crowned with victory both in the East and in the West. We see mii-acles of souls new bom, converts gathered into chiu-ches, much gi-ain safely gamered and much growing still upon the fields. We see here and there the waste places made " to rejoice and blossom as the rose " ; in some cases whole nations changed, and in many lands the signal triumphs of the Cross. AVhat do we see ? As we travel down we come upon the gi-aves of the illustrious dead who have left us staiTy examj)les both to stimulate and to guide, names more than the three on which such changes have been rung with varying sweetness, famous names of men in India, in Jamaica, on the Cameroons, and among the martyrs on the Congo, and of many living and Avorking now who are the successors of these, and who lend a lustre to the present as did the dead to the past. What do we see ? We behold the Captain of the host, Christ Himself, unseen by sense, but visible to faith, leading them, working with them, inspiring and sustaining them, and, as with Abraham of old, blessing them and making them blessings. Oh ! verily, Christian friends, this record of ours is a story to insj)ire dcvoutest praise and wonder. As you know, there was jnuch rough work at the beginning in the ploughing and scattering of seed. There was much toil and sweat under the burden and heat of the day ; some painful crises and sharp trials, and 286 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. much life that has gone out of sight, laid down on our mission-field. But with all this there have been spring tides and summer days of prosperous labour'. There has been a reaping in joy as well as a sowing in tears, and enough of result and reward, if we will but think of it rightly, to " fill our mouths with laughter and our tongues with singing." Heaven is richer, earth is better ; our Divine Master has a larger place and a greater honour here through the labours of our hands which God has blessed. For these things, for the men, for the work done, for difficulties over- come, for the good we see and the good we do not see — for all these things, and the prophecies and promises for the days to come, what a debt we owe to God ! Does there not come from the past and from the present a voice uttering the Psalmist's words, " Give, O ye kindred of the people, give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name ?" Let us hear that voice ; let the Jubals and the tuneful Miriams of our churches lead on, and let all the tribes of Israel follow, and join their rejoicing voices, responsive to the stirring call, "Sing ye to the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously." But while we sing of the past, may I be permitted to say that perhaps we shall render better gratitude if, with fresh momentum and impulse gathered from it, we now, entering upon the new, set our faces and our thoughts towards the future ? The line is crossed — it was crossed yesterday. The new century opens and invites. Many, and this place touchingly reminds us of the fact, many have left the field, their evening hour having come. "We— you, I, others — we are alive and remain, and now the burden rests upon us ; it is ours to continue, nay, to advance, tho work^which they have brought thus far. O people, O Christians of England, the waiting nations now look to us for sympathy and help ! Out of the excellent glory there comes a voice at this very juncture which says, "Speak to the children of Israel that they go forward ; " and if we linger among sacred memories, or if we spend our energies in admiring past men and past things, may we not expect that from some angel's mouth will come the words, "Why, when so much remains to be done — 'why stand ye gazing ?' " Our position — and I trust we may feel it more and more, as our chaii-man has expressed— is as grave and as exciting as weighty duties and grand possibilities can make it. An appeal reaches us, deep- toned, pathetic beyond what words can express, piercing as the cries of the perishing, and loud as the sound of many waters. It comes from afar, from China, from India, from Africa, from many lands, many peoples and kindreds and tongues, and the burden of it all is the same — " In your pity come over and help us ! " And, above all, divinely distinct, strong as that of a king, sweet with the persuasive tenderness of love, the voice of our Master is heard saying to us, "For Me, in My name, as ministers of My pity and My mercy, oh, haste to meet their THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 287 call ! " They out of thoir depths say to us, " Come." He from the heights of the throne, and out of the fulness of His heart, says, " Go." Both are waiting for our reply ; what is that reply to be ? What have wc as churches — what have we as individuals —for this is the point — what have we to say to our King, Avho asks us as friends to go for Him, and to the plaintive cry in which the wants and woes of myriads are compressed ? I think while wo rejoice in what God has done, and may be very glad for what we have been able to do, not one of us but must f eol that our reply as yet has been far from what it should be ; for though it has gradually grown fuller, yet it is still limited and small. In our body — I speak of our denomination only now— the possible and tlio actual are too wide apart ; what is, falls far beneath what might be, if aU were filled with the Holy Ghost and faith, and all hearts were aglow with that sacred passion to save men, of which the Cross is the sublime example and the creative power. Why is it, Mr. Chaii'man, why is it, dear friends, that there should be this defect of the spirit ? How is it that this missionary work should be limited to comparatively few, when it profoundly con- cerns the whole ? It is not for lack of fields to tempt an adven- tui'ous zeal; it is not for want of opportunities; it is not because the Lord of the harvest has ceased to speak in command and x^roimse ; it is not because the constraining facts and motives have lost their power. Whei-efore is it that money and men are not forthcoming in greater plenty? It is not because we have not a reserve of soldieiy on which to draw, or because the treasury of our gifts is drained dry. The cause is deeper : it is the spirit that faileth. The stream is scanty because the inner springs are low. All things are ready but ourselves. There is a sad withholding of themselves on the pai-t of some, an apathy and listlessness among many. There is room for nobler devotion in the warmest and the best. The new time requires newness in us that we may be equal to the greatness of the position to which the years have lifted us up. What we need is such an increase in the power of spiritual life, in pitiful feelings for nations without God and without hope, in self-sacrifice, 'uiHravail of soul, in readiness of will, which will be more in harmony with the mind of our Lord and more correspondent with the auspicious times which encourage us at once to expect and attempt greater things. We often speak of what our missionaries should be, men of ardent soul, enthusiastic, self-sacrificing ; men full of divine and human sympathies and devoted to service ; men in spirit, character, life, radiant with the beauty of our Lord. But what about us at liome ? Are not the same things requu'ed here ? A mind looking out on the heathen world with the eye of Christ, brooding over its darknc^ss and its misery, and entering into fellowship with th(> magnificent purposes of His redeeming love ; a faith in this sceptical age, strong in belief in Him 288 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. and the truth and power of His Gospel, and uniting with itself something of His self-devotion, who could die for the salvation of the lost ; this, brethren, is what we need, and this not in our captains and leaders of the host, not in a few only, but in the rank and file of the army, in the universal membership of all our churches. It was in such mould that our fathers were cast ; it was this spirit that inspired them. "We want the spirit of our fathers. Nothing impresses me more, look- ing at them, than the way in which this cause filled their vision and took up their hearts, with a zeal which in its staid intensity was more like the ever-burning ardour of the Cherubim than the fitful flashes of varying human passion, a zeal as practical as it was fervent, that led them each one after their kind — Carey, Marshman, Ward, abroad ; Fuller, Eyland, Pearce, Sutcliife, and others, at home — to give themselves to the work in so jirincely a style. How shall we get what we need, and prove by likeness that we are in the lineage and train of our fathers ? Only, I need not remind you, by the same means. The power in them was brought from above — it was a live coal from the altar that touched theii- lips and made their souls so willing. It was continuous communion with Christ and " the supply of the Spirit" from Him which kept their fires burning and made them the men they were. And it is thus, and only thus, that we may hope to live in the same spirit and walk in the same steps. " The world seeth Me no more, but ye see Me," said Christ to His apostles. Ah, brethren, and, oh, that we might feel it to be so — every- thing is there ! It is the key to all that was best in the men of the past. It is the source of our power to-day ; it is the promise of futui-e victories of renown. To see Christ, to live day by day with Him in view, to come nearer and nearer and nearer that we may see Him better, so shall we catch the tone of His thought and feeling, and our hearts shall beat in sympathy and rhythm with His own. There is a power in that vision to take souls captive, inspiring them with a desire to serve ; a power to make us like what we see ; the power that draws out the ardour of heaven dwelling in His wonderful face ; for quickening us when we grow slack and dull , for keeping our coiu'age up in the dark season of trial, for making us glad to serve, for renewing and uplifting and inspiriting the one thing needed is the sight of Him — Him upon the cross, the Lamb slain for us. Him upon the throne — the Lamb in the midst thereof who lives and works through all changes, all times, with a firm, serene, unfaltering confidence in His own final triumph. Oh, let us, brethren, the Chiu-ch, compact together, every one united, let us look more steadfastly at Him, and wait in supplication for that baptism of the Spirit which shall overcome our apathy, our self-centering regard, shall reproduce in us to-day the original impulse which sent the apostles abroad among the nations, and shall kindle an enthusiasm whose contagious flame shall spread till all burn with a love that stretches out its hands and its desire unto the ends THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 289 of the earth, and that cannot rest until the kingdoms of this woiid havo become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ ! In the meanwhile, it is for us to put the question to oui-selves indi- vidually, alone -with our redeeming Lord. What is my responsibility — what am I doing in my place and according to my ability to further this Godlike work ? It is time for us to arise and shake ourselves from the dust, and in this opening of the second century consecrate ourselves as we have never done before unto this work of the Lord. Come, ye rich, learned, Avise ; come with gold and frankincense and myrrh, and lay yoiu* tribute " lowly at His blessed feet." Come, ye poor, with your humble, but not less welcome offerings, and your prayers, more precious than they. Come, young men and maidens — run, hasten to offer your- selves so that He may have " the dew of His youth " ; and let the old whose strength is weakened in the way and who are soon to vanish, let them join A\-ith their prayers, and bless those who go forth to toil in the distant fields as dying Jacob blessed his sons. Come, one and all, bringing such help as you can, to hasten the time when everywhere men shall be blessed in Christ, and all nations shall call Him blessed. This consummation, so devoutly to be wished, is drawing on. From the Pisgah of prophecy we see the glory of the world that is to be " when the years have died away," we see the day of Christ's triumph which shall as surely come as though it now was, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it, " and the zeal of the Lord of hosts," by the hearts and by the hands of His Church, shall verily perform it. Hearken ! He saith, "Behold I come quickly." Wo reply, " Amen, even so come, Lord Jesus." After this address, the Revs. D. J. East, of Jamaica, Evan Edwakds, of Torquay, and Mr. AVilliam Olney, of the Tabernacle Church, prayed. Previous to and during the meeting the Sfcockwell Orplianage Choir sang several appropriate pieces. 19 290 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. THE CENTENARY SERMON. The nest morning, at eleven o'clock, the Centenary Sermon was preached in Exeter Hall by THE REV. ALEXANDER MACLAREN, D.D. The capacious building was unable to accommodate the vast numbers desiring to be present. The following is the discourse : — The more special aspect of oxu- Centenary has been abundantly set forth during the year by brethren far more competent for the task than I am . Coming as I do at almost the close of these celebrations, I have been led to think that I shall best serve the Master and the cause by trying to speak to you of some more general considerations ; and my mind and my heart have rested upon words which I have since found were those selected by Dr. Eyland on which to found his charge to two of the earliest missionaries of our Society. They are written in the 3rd Epistle of John from the 6th verse : — " Which have home witness of thy charity before the Church, luhom if thou hring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well. Because that for His name''s saTce they went forth, tahimj nothing of the Gentiles. We therefore ought to receive such, that we might he fellow-hel_pers to the truth.'^ This short letter opens for us a window into the past, and shows us a little incident in the inner life of an unnamed church. Some travelling evangelists apparently from Ephesus, the residence of the apostles, had gone forth armed with what he modestly called ' ' somewhat which I have written," and had found their way to a city where they had been hospi- tably welcomed by a certain Gains or Caius. But in that little commu- nity there was an ill-conditioned dog in the manger whose touchy self- importance thought that it was somehow aggiieved by the Apostle's recommendation, and so avenged his insulted pre-eminence upon the innocent evangelists, refusing to receive them because he would not receive the Apostle, and even going so far as to threaten excommimica- tion to their sympathisers. So the evangelists went back to Ephesus and told their story, and the Apostle appears to have sent them once again to the same place, and given them this letter, partly in order to express THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 291 his satisfaction with the work of Gaius, and partly in order to prepare the way for theii- future reception. The words of my text are the gist of the epistle in so far as it concerns the evangelists and their hosts. A very suxall matter — yes, but John brings large principles tobearui)on it. The things which we vulgarly admire as great, and those which wo insolently despise as little, may be equally moulded by the highest laws ; and if they are, then- magnitude is of no consequence at all. So my text carries lessons for us to-day, and, as you will observe, it covers the groixnd of both the sentiments which are natural to us now. It vibrates between "they" and "we." It tells us why we should honour the great men of the past, and what we must be and do to make us worthy to honour them. "They went forth." " We ought to receive such," and thank God the ^continuity of such will never be wanting as long as the Church is true to its Master. The words, then, of my text seem to me to suggest three general thoughts, to each of which I ask your attention for a few moiiieut(-'. Fii'st, the motive and aim of the missionary worker; second, the standanl for the missionary heli^er; third, the honoiu' common to them botli. First the motive and aim of the missionary worker. " For the sake of the Name they went forth." Now I need not remind you how, in Scripture, a name is more than a collection of syllables. It is the expression of the nature of the person or thing to which it is applied. In reference to a person, it tells us not only who, but Avhat ho is, and, in fact, we may say the expression here is tantamount, or all but tantamount, to the whole revelation of Jesus Christ, the sum of all that we know about Him, His nature, His character. His work. The Name intended in the text is the old name so famihar to the primitive Church, that it plays a large part in the symbolism of early Christian art from the initials of the words of which it is composed — Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour. That is the Name. It is the Name — no need to define any further. It is sole because it is all-sufficient. One central pillar will hold up a roof and render supei-fluous and impertinent a multi- tude of . slender shafts. "For the sake of the Name" — the one Name that is above every name and obliterates all others. You remember how, in the Old Testament, there is a kind of quasi-personality attached to the expression " the Name of the Lord " in such words as " The Name of the Lord Cometh from afar"; and the same quasi-personalitj' attaches to the expression of my text. " The Name " in these little letters of the Apostle is used Avith a peculiar significance. Action is attributed to it, and we are near indeed to recognising that the Name is the revealed and the Divine Christ. Then, if I may venture upon a little more detailed exjjosition, I should like you to notice the singularity of the other part of this expression of motive — " For the sake " — which hterally and accui-atcly given is : " On rj* 292 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. behalf of, for the benefit of the Name," as if that great Name might somehow be advantaged by us. You remember how the Psalmist said, with a kind of suppressed sui-prise mingling with his thankfulness, "He was extolled with my tongue." "His Name got good because I spoke it," audit is for the advantage, and in some true though wonderful sense, for the help of the Name of the Lord, that these penniless evangelists went out. Now, brethren, if these things be true, and I, for one, am profoundly convinced of them, then here is the one motive as for all Christian life so eminently for this missionary work. It is a motive far deeper than compassion for souls. It is the parent of compassion for souls. I say nothing about more vulgar motives to which we are always being tempted to appeal. Let us brush them all away, in order that we may lay our hearts and our consciences open to the full influence of this one adequate motive as for Ufe, so for all Christian work. " For the sake of the Name," and for that alone, let us see to it that we do our little bit of Avork whatsoever it may be. I, for one, profoundly distrust the appeal to lesser, lower, commoner motives than this ; and I think that one reason for the diminution of missionary enthusiasm, if there be such a diminution, has lain here — that we have conjured with illicit charms, and have tried too much to stimulate by motives less divine, less fervid, than the Name of the Lord, and so have tapped the sm-face and have got the di-ainage from the surface, and scanty and, sometimes, impure enough have been the streams that have flowed into our treasuries. Go down to the heart of things, as an ai'tesian well pierces down through the supei-ficial strata to the great central resei"voir that Ues thei'e in the green sand, and you will get the water coming up to the surface abun- dantly, and no need of pipes and bucket and clattering machinery in order to di-aw it forth. "For the sake of the Name," let us stand by that ! And then remember how this was the motive which impelled the founders of this Society in their work. I read in an appreciative article in one of the daily papers yesterday about our Centenary that William Carey was a genius. "Well, I am not siu-e about genius. It is an awkward word to define. Wonderful linguistic faculty, a capacity for blazing up from contact with an idea, and of keeping the fire bright thi'ough all discouragement ; tenacity of will, persistence, unselfishness, noble, Christ-like, and a simplicity which was sublime — these things he had. Whether he were a genius or not, he was a hero, and he was a hero because he was a saint, and he was a saint because he had been sanctified by the touch of Christ's hand, and the Name had driven self out of him. These men went forth for the sake of the Name, and what men it made of them ! They were quaintly and uncouthly ujilike the canons of propriety in their generation. The boisterous raillery which THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 293 was in fasliion at that time has given place to the daintily-worded sneers of cultui-e ; but neither the one nor the other has been clear- eyed enough to penetrate beneath the disguise of the eighteenth-century Puritan and his peculiar dialect, so as to sec the nobleness and greatness that were masked in it. Men that can go iuto raptures over Eoman Catholic piiests, if they be far enough away, and Buddhist sages, and pride themselves on their power of detecting genius and nobility under all sorts of strange disguises, have been baffled altogether by the im- penetrable mask which the fact of being a Baptist in a Noi-thampton- shire village has cast round one of the great men of the age. But •\\'hat I meant to say — and you wiU pardon the digression — ^was this : it was the Name that made the men and that made theii- work. A beautiful old story tells us of a clown who was humanised and refined and made into a chivalrous gentleman by his love placed high upon a fair and worthy maiden. William Carey and his fellows were galvanised into nobility and lifted into loftiness simply by the power of contact mth the name of Jesus Christ. And so, brethren, let me remind you in one word that the continu- ance of missionary enterprise must be secured by the contmuanco of the same motives and impulses which led to its inception and origination. A friend who is in this audience asked me, some few days ago, whether I thought that the condition of our churches was such as that wo should have originated a missionai-y society if we had not inherited one. I do not want to answer the question, but I want to lay this upon your hearts — that if we do not keep the Name intact, we shall lose all missionary fervour. Historically it has been demonstrated that churches which have grasped but a fragment of it have felt no impidso to spread the fragment that they have grasped. Why should they ? Why should any man give himself trouble and go to the ends of the earth in order to proclaim half a name, or to preach a maimed Christ ? If any such man did — and I know not but that there have been such — of this I am sure, that the demons would laugh in their faces with the old taunt, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are ye ? " If you take away any of the elements of the Name of Christ, you rob it of all its power. Let us remember that in Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, the Saviour — and in Him alone — will be found the impulsive power that will send men forth. As long as our churches live by the Naiue, so long wiU there arise man after man driven out to can-y it. Let them falter in their allegiance to the supernatural. Divine, sacrificial elements of the Name, and the missionary impulse will become a spasmodic spurt that wiU die like water out of a pipe when the pressure is slacked off. Only he who can Avith all his heart say, " There is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved " is worthy to be His " chosen vessel to bear it to the Gentiles." 294 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. And 80, secondly, mark here the standard for missionary helpers. I have read my text witli the alteration, which you will find, I think, in the Revised Version, which substitutes for " after a godly sort," the literal and most pregnant rendeiing, "worthily of God." That is the standard. It bids us consider what He is. The dignity of the recipient should in some measui'e be expressed by the preciousness of the gift. It bids us consider what He has given us, and how He has given it. For though we stand in the presence of a great mystery when we thus speak, and perhaps are in danger of being wise above what is wi-itten, it seems to me that Scripture does tell us this wonderful tinith, that some shadow of sacrifice passed across even the completeness of that Divine natui-e. For Paul has ventured to quote the words in which the Old Testament described Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac, as having some dim foreshadowuag of the Father's sacrifice of the Son. "He spared not " — these are the words of the Greek translation of the pathetic story in Genesis ; and whether or no we venture to expand them into anything definite and capable of being put into words, at all events, let us lay this, dear friends, en oiu" hearts, that the Cross is the pattern and standard of our Christian life, effort, and giving, not only because in it is the measure of the love of the Son who gave Himself for us, but, as we may reverently say, if not the measure, at least the exhibition of the love of the Father, Avho " spared not His only Son, but freely delivered Him up to the death for us all." Carry that pattern with you, and ask yourselves what sort of Hfe will be foimd which is worthy of the giving of God. It bids us consider the indwelHng of God in His faithful sei-vants, and that, I suppose, is the main idea which the Apostle had in his mind in my text. He is running on the same lines as the great saying which He has recorded for us — "He that receiveth you receiveth Me, and he that receiveth Me receiveth Him that sent Me." "Worthily of God," who is in His servants : treat them as you would treat Him if He stood before you. Now, brethren, what sort of help and fui-therance and hospitable reception and the like does this standard demand from us ? Surely that all our work shall be the glad service of love ; surely, that if it be the glad service of love, it shall, as all love's gifts are, be the very utmost that it can be. Love gives its best, its highest, its all. Our work must be up to the very edge of our capacity. Eemember John Foster's great saying, "Power to its last particle is duty." Oui- service must be done with effort, to the very tension of our muscles ; it must be work polished to the highest pitch of perfection. Upon the top of Milan Cathedi-al you will find little angels stuck away in behind a pinnacle, perhaps not seen once in twenty years by anybody, and every feather upon their quiet wings carved as if they were to stand in the market-place to be looked at by everybody, because the sculptor loved his work, and laid it THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 295 as an offering, whether consciously or no, at the feet of the Father in the heavens. And this standard, " Worthily of God," demands that all our best shall be given in the best possible fashion, and that there shall be sacrifice in the gift. 0 brethren, it is no use for us to meet here together and pretend to rejoice over this Centenary unless we revise our theoiy of Christian con- secration, and unless we learn that great Heaven does not ask how much is given, but how much is retained. Let us seek to rise to the height of this solemn standard, apply it to oui' lives : honestly, quietly, in oui' own quiet moments, in our closets ; let us think of the contrast between the standard and oui- poor offerings that we have brought. We have kept the cream for ourselves and the world : is it vulgar to say we have given God the skim milk ? We have given Him the parings, the candle ends, and the superfluities, and have been all wi-ong as to our ownership of the things we possess, and as to the obligations of our stewardship. But do not let us forget that it is love which accepts and makes worthy by accepting. You fathers and mothers do not look ■with a very critical eye at the clumsy and worthless bit of work that your little gul may bring you for a present on your birthday. And there are a great many very useless things laid up in God's storehouse, as I daresay there are in the secret drawers of the mothers in this congregation this morning. Samaritans' twopences, cups of cold water, and a host of miconsidered trifles He has laid away in the cedar of His memory ; and that which is given from love is given worthily of God. And so, lastly, note the honours shared between the helpers and the ivorkers. 1 am sorry that at this late stage of my sermon I must ask your attention again for a moment to di-y remaiks about gi'ammar ; but the words of my text are quite susceptible cither of the rendering of the Authorised or of the RcA-ised Version. In the one case we should read " Fellow-helpers to the Truth" ; and in the other " Fellow- workers with the Tmth." Now, the former of these, as you will see, insists simply on the co-operation of the two classes, the " we " and the "they" that the Apostle has been spealdng about, and regards them both as in common, however diverse their work, servants to the one great Truth ; and that is sufficient for the Apostle's ijurpose. But then, grammatically defensible, and having some support from the peculiar use of the expression, "the Ti-uth," in which these two letters which treat it, as I said in a former part of my discourse, has a quasi-personaUty, the latter rendering, with its dash of Christian mysticism, seems to me to be more satisfactory, more full, and containing all that is jjrecious in the other — "fellow- helpers with the Tx-uth." Then the Truth comes down into the field and labours and works with the men that are working for it. We can scarcely forget that the same pen which in the trembling hand of the old man 296 TdE CEN'TENARY CfeLEBEATION. traced these words is the pen that has recorded for us this : " 1 am the Way, and the Tmth, and the Life." And whilst it would be too much to say that we have here simply another name for Jesus Christ, we have something that very closely approximates thereto ; because John's " Truth " was the " incarnate Truth " that walks amongst us and works with us. And so, dear brethren, here is this great thought — that workers and helpers aHke may have the joy and the confidence of believing that the Truth works with them and they with it. Think of the honour that lays upon us, and the greatness with which it invests our work. Some great artist will strike out the outline of some immortal pictm-e and labour upon it, and then he lets all the anonjnnous little painters that belong to his school, and are animated by his spirit, come with theii" feebler brushes and lay on a tint or two. Jesus Christ lets His scholars work upon His great picture, permits us to co-operate with Him. His truth cannot reach its end, namely, that man should recognise it, with- out our co-operation. "Ye are My witnesses, saith the Lord;" and some eyes that are too bleared to gaze upon the unveiled sun may be drawn to a belief and a love in it, if they see its tints spread out in prismatic beauty even by the misty vapours of our poor individuality. We are feUow-helpers with the Truth, and that should make us know that our work is great. Think of the confidence with which tliis thought should insjiire us in doing our service. We are working with the strongest thing in the World, in the line of the Divine purpose. "We can do nothing," no, nor can anybody "against the truth, but for the truth; " and when the net result of aU the activities, furtherance and antagonisms is summed up, it Avill be found that the only sm-vival at last is that Truth and the work of the men that help it. To oppose it is like fighting against the western gale or trying to counteract gravitation. Let us bring our work into the line of the Divine purposes, and be sure of this, that then the Truth will help us if wc help it, and according to the grand picture of the possibly spurious last verses of Mark's Gospel, "They went everywhere preaching the Word, the Lord working with them and confirming their words with signs foUovvdng." If we are feUow-workers with the Truth, the Name will be a fellow-helper with us. Think of the confidence with which therefore wc should do our work. " Lift up thy voice with strength ; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God," and be sure of this, wherever there is a voice that proclaims the Name there will not be wanting the confirma- tory thunderclap which says, "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." Think of the union amongst all the divers workers in all divers forms THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 297 and ages, making one great co-operation and combination witli Jesus Christ in their midst. In the great house there are vessels of gold and vessels of silver, and common pottery and poor wood, but they are all the Master's. In the great jialace one slave is made a shoeblack and another is made a prime minister. What does it matter what work they are doing, so long as they are doing it because the Lord bids them do it ? And as all work done from the same motive and towards the same end is one in essence, so it shall be all one in issue and reward. " As his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff; they shall part alike." " One soweth and another reapeth," and a reason for that law is amongst others this, that the division of labour may be the multiplication of gladness and of triumph. Brethi-en, a century of initial work closes now. The centm-y that begins to-day will need to be far in advance of its predecessor, if it is not to be far behind it. It is no use for us to build the monuments of the Dauntless Three of Serampore and of others unless we take up and better their unfinished work. Thcie must be far deeper consecration if these Centenary services are not to be mere spasmodic excitement, which will be followed by its penalty in langour and exhaustion. The work is greater ; let not the consecration be, as alas ! I fear it often is, far less I Dear friends, forget, if you like, everything else that I have said this morning, but let me beseech you, professing Christians, to laj' on your lips, consciences, hearts, and wUls, the three gi-eat words of our text — " For the sake of the Name," "Worthily of God," " Fellow- v/orkers with the Truth." 296: THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. THE EVANGELICAL MISSIONARY ALLIANCE MEETING. This meeting was held in the afternoon of the same day in the large room of Exeter Hall, in which building all the subsequent London Celebration meetings took place. THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF HARROWBY President of the British and Foreign Bible Society, presided. After singing the hymn beginning " Lord of the Church in every age " ; and prayer led by the Rev. J. Jenkyn Brown, of Birmingham, Mr. A. H. Baynes made the following statement, occasioned by the receipt of a letter from Mr. Robert Arthington, of Leeds : — Christian Friends,— I liold in my hand a letter from a gentleman, whose name is well known in connection with the foreign missionary enterjirise of the Christian Church, Mr. Eobert Arihington, of Leeds. I received the letter this morning, with the request that it might be read to the gathering this afternoon. It is addressed to the Christian Assembly met in London to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the primal year of modern missions to the actual heathen. The letter is as follows : — "Dear Brethren in Christ,— I have been sorry to have to decline the invitation to the great Centenary celebration in the Metropohs, but I never go to London, and caimot at the present leave Leeds. I should greatly rejoice with you if this festival celebration were made in faith and love — with intense concern — the occasion of a great extension of Gospel diffusion in the dark places of the earth, a marked revival period of renewed activity of Christian missionary enterprise such as the world has never yet seen, so that all evangelical Christians should unite in a wise division of the field of the world where the Word of Life has not yet been published, either by voice or by book. All other parts where Arabic can be read, and where languages are spoken into which John, Luke, and the Acts have been translated, we might leave for the present, I think, to the great Bible Societies. If we have fervent hearts to do this great work, accommodation might be foimd for all willing evangelical missionaries. I should be glad and thankful beyond measure to expend THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 299 in helping the passage and support of such missionaries £30,000 at least. (You must remember this is not £30,000 for the Baptist Missionary Society, this is an offer made to all Christian missionary societies, pro- vided they unite in a wise distribution of their forces.) "Do not, on any account, let this Centenary pass mthout some definite an-angement for such wise division of the world. I am told that a letter from me, which I have not seen in its place, was put into the February number of the Missionary Review of America, and aheady I have had a letter from the senior missionary in Siam to say that he will be glad to take the field of the heathen tribes in the upper waters of Makong as his part of the divided labour-, and I have had the great joy of sending him already according to this division. I believe this could be done at but little cost of more than traveUing, and paper, and postage, so that all known EvangeHcal societies for Christian missions among the actual heathen might be compassed, the individual workers making themselves known ()]• ascertaining fraternally the vacant spheres and the great areas of spheres not yet occupied. You have my hearty sympathy and presence in spirit, if in the unity of the spii-it you will follow promptly the Lord's last great charge and assurance. I shall be glad and thankful to assist and to correspond carefully and earnestly, so far as I know it may be for the glory of our common Lord." I have long felt, my lord and Christian friends, that this question as to the wisest disposition of missionary forces is a very pressing and paramoimt one. I have the conviction that if there could be a great conference between the united EvangeUcal missionary associations, not only of Great Britain but of America, we might together so an-ange the great missionary army as to occupy many of the districts at present vacant, and avoid overlapping. And I am not above the hope, as it is my earnest prayer, that one result of the Centenary gatherings, and of the Centenary gatheiings of kindred societies which will be meeting directly, may be the devising of some fjlan which shall lead to the veiy best disposition of our missionary army all over the world, and I am quite sure that in this desire Mr. Arthington has our deepest and heartiest sympathy. The Chairman's address :— Ladies and Gentlemen,— It seems to me to have been a most wol-thy Christian thought on the part of the Committee of the Baptist Mis- sionary Society which led them, in the midst of their great meetings and their great services on the occasion of their Centenary, to summon a meeting such as that at which we now have the privilege of being present— a meeting of an unique character — a meeting of Evangelical missionary alHance thanksgiving. In the midst of their thoughts of thanksgiving for the success of the work of their own Chm-ch, they felt 300 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. that their meetings would be incomplete unless they summoned together the representatives of the principal missionary organisations of all the other Evangelical churches of the land, so that they might acknowledge with them the success of their common work on behalf of their common Lord, and so, in no nan-ow spirit of self-congratulation, they wish to celebrate their great Centenary. I think this is a noble example for those that come after. That acknowledgment in the very forefront of their Centenary of the good work of others is a very good omen for the happy working together of Chi-istians in the future in foreign and heathen lands, and I would hope also at home. To pass on to my Presidency over your meetiag to-day, I confess that there does seem to me something suitable in your having invited me, in my capacity as President of the British and Foreign Bible Society, to occupy the chair, because it has been the honour and the immense privilege of the British and Foreign Bible Society for ali'eady a great period of years— now between eighty and niuety years — to offer its platform as a common place of meeting for members of all the various Evangelical churches — a place of common meetiag where they could forget their differences and think only of the great truths which bound them together. I would venture to say that the platform of the British and Foreign Bible Society has done more in many an out- of-the-way district, as well as in many a great city and in this metropolis of our Empii-e, to bring together Christians who thought they differed, but found that they agreed much more than they differed when they met together in support of the world-wide circulation of the one Holy Book, than any other organisation has done. So that I think it was not only personally very land, but was appropriate on the highest grounds on your part to ask the President of the British and Foreign Bible Society to preside on this memorable occasion. I rejoice that the tone of this meeting is one, not of glorying, but of thanksgiving. For I cannot bear that in our religious meetings we should assume anything like a tone of glorying for the work that God allows us to do. Alas, alas ! the work is much too small that we do, our donations are too small, our personal services are too small, the help of the nation is too small, to allow anything like self-glorification when men meet together on religious occasions like the present. Your meeting is one of thanksgiving, and that is the tone I think should be adopted at all meetings of this kind ; and when we sjjeak of thanksgiving, let us praise and thank God for all that noble army of martyi'- missionaries departed this life in His faith and fear, who served Him so faithfully during the last hundred years, giving the noblest example of faith and self-sacrifice, who are now enrolled among the army of martyrs above, and whose memory in these days of ovei-flowing luxury ought to summon lis to greater self-sacrifice. THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. . 301 But now we must pass on from this lofty and inspiring theme. Let us consider the special circumstances in which we meet. This is a very interesting occasion, as being the first meeting of the cen- tenaries of the societies wliich started the great new era of mission work at the beginning of this century. "What a remarkable period that was ! It was a period often of great poverty, of great distress, and in many places of great excesses, among the nations, of wild infidel opinions, of fears of every kind and sort, of terrors on account of the French Eevolution, of changes of all sorts, of ever-recuning wars and rumours of wars ; but that period of twenty years covering, the close of the last century and the beginning of the i^reseut, was the time of the great new birth of missionary zeal and religious life. Now, said the leaders of the new movement, when infidelity was threatening to swallow up the Christian faith, now was the time for Christians of all kinds to push forward the religion of Christ in every dii-ection, and to take the offensive rather than to stand on the defensive. Nobly did those various churches act; and before long we shall have a string of cen- tenaries of very important societies bearing witness to the strong faith and wise action of the men of that time. Just think what they will be. The Baptist Missionary Society was the first commenced in 1792 ; then comes the London Missionary Society in 1795 ; the Church Missionary Society in 1 799 ; the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1804 ; and the "Wesley an Missionary Society in 1816. What a remark- able group of societies will, in the next twenty years, be celebrating their centenaries ! Let us also remember that not long after the gi-eat Presbyterian societies will also come into the Centenary field, and let us never forget that before that there were other workers, though not exactly in the same field — the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, founded in 1700, and the Moravian Missionary Society in 1732. These centenaries will be full of interest, and the mere mention of the names of the societies is enough to awaken the deepest thoughts of gi-atitude and thanksgiving. So much for the special circumstances of to-day's remarkable meeting. I should wish now to mention three leading reasons which make me specially thankful and glad to be allowed to preside over it. The first is that in placing the President of the British and Foreign Bible Society in the chair, with the representatives of all the missionaiy societies around me, you emphasise your own fediny that the Bible ouyht always to have the first place in all Christian tmclertakings. Yes ! give the Bible the first place. Put the Bible in the hands of everybody, and try to saturate our people with the Bible teaching, and we may be perfectly sure that by God's blessing no chiu-ch vnM fail in its work. So I rejoice that at the beginning of your proceedings you show a sti'ong token of your derotion in the fii'st instance to the Bible. 302 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. The second reason which makes me rejoice to preside is that I thus have the opportunity of acknowledging for my own sake, and that of those with whom I act in our work, the oUigation tue are all under to the lead given hy the Baptist Missionary Society in 1792. What a wonderful lead that was ! It sprang up from, you may say, the humblest quarters. How touching is the history of that great man. Dr. Carey, working away at his trade as a shoemaker in a very un- frequented and remote part of England, and yet before the age of thirty drawing up an elaborate scheme, which was afterwards piinted, for the conversion of the heathen throughout the world, and not only drawing up this scheme which seemed mad to the men who were around him at the time, but living to be the pioneer of that great movement in India which is now acknowledged to be leading to tremendous results in that country. Think of what Carey had to fight against. He had to fight against the opposition of all those Christian men who honestly thought that the condition of the heathen was one which could not be touched unless there was some fresh visible outpouring of the Spii-it of God. There was the opposition of all the worldly men of the day, who were afraid for our trade and influence. There was the opposition of the timid, the cynical, and the sceptical. That remarkable man went out to India, and it was allowed to him to become the pioneer of that wonderful series of translators which God has vouchsafed to give to His Church during this last century. The gift of tongues was not repeated, but something very much akin to it was bestowed from on high instead. It is often the case in the action of Providence, if we watch it, that the thing asked for is given, not in the way we ask, but in a way which God knows is infinitely better. This humble shoemaker of the Midland counties became the pioneer of the new translators of Holy Scripture. He found the right men amongst the working-men — Ward, who began life as a printer; Marshman, who began life as a weaver — and those three remarkable men set their stamp upon the great missionary work and the future India. Alas ! They had to begin their work, not in British teiTitory, but in the territory of the friendly Dane. What a remarkable start that was, and who could have expected these enormous results? Before any of the other societies burst into life, Carey, who had spnmg from so humble an origin, had finished the translation of the New Testament in Bengali, and there you have what seems to be the first start of the great series of new versions of Holy Scriptui-e, in every tongue, for men of every clime, of versions which have done so much good all over the world. Then, marvel of marvels, you have Marshman translating the whole Bible into Chmese ; you have a series of other versions following from these most imlikely sources : these three young men — as they were when they left England— who had been brought up in an ordinary way, as ordinary artisans, and with no TEB MEETINGS IN LONDON. 803 special advantages. I do think that whonover wo aro rojoicing over tho results which now are so largely beginning to declare themselves of tho niissionary work of the churches in this century, wo ought always to acknowledge the great debt due to the start Avhich was given in India by those devoted and remarkable men — Carey, Ward, and Marsh man. That I am able to do this is my second reason for satisfaction at being present. The third reason why I rejoice to preside over this meeting to-day is one Avhioh is very near to my own heart. Your joint meeting of tho leading missionary societies of all the Evangelical churches is a testimony to outside Encjland that, as far as your great Society goes, you u'ish to viaintain that friendliness which has generally existed hetween Evangelical .missionary societies and Evangelical missionaries in the mission- field, and that thus that sctme friendliness ivill be led to grow in England itself. From all I have heard of what goes on abroad, it is one of the most satisfactory things that the missionaries of the different Evangelical ohm-chos try, as a rule, not to encroach ujjon each other's districts. They try to speak with rosiiect of each other's labours, and to help rather than to thwart them. I often think of a very strong case in point which Dr. Inglis, in his charming book about the New Hebrides, mentions. He gives a whole chapter to show how Bishop Selwyn, who was certainly not a Low Church bishop, constantly helped the Presbyterian Mission on the New Hebrides. He narrates endless friendly acts which were done by him, although he was well known to be what is called a High Chm'ch bishop. That is the spirit which has prevailed largely in foreign parts ; that is the spiiit we want to see more of at home ; not sacrificing our own convictions as to what is the best form of church government, but appreciating each other's labours, and not doing it in a grudging way ; but, while acknowledging that there must be differences of opinion with regard to church organisation, and different ways of working in the Church of Christ, always ready to give full credit and ungrudging praise to our fellow-Christians who belong to the other Evangelical churches. My third reason, therefore, for greatly rejoicing to preside to-day is that your unique meeting is a public testimony in the heart of England of the hope that that feeling may more and more prevail at home which so happily has prevailed abroad. Now, your secretary has told me that you would like me to run over rapidly the leading features of the work of the Bible Society, which has now been very nearly one hundred years in existence. The Bible Society has only one great object according to its charter — that is, to circulate tho Bible, without note or comment, as widely as possible. Now, how does it do that ? Its first object has been to circulate the Bible and jjortions of the Holy Book as much as possible at home. That was of first imjiort- ance, and tho Society's attention was called to that by the sad lack of 304 THE CENTENARY CELEBPATION. Bibles available to all classes wbich. prevailed at the beginning of this centiuy. Yoii probably all remember the touching story of Mary Jones, who may, perhaps, be said to have been the foundress of the Bible Society. We are now providmg, and have provided England and the United Kingdom with Bibles in every sort of way dm-ing the last ninety years. We have 5,600 auxiharies at home, which not only collect funds for the circulating of the Bible in the world, but also help in circulating the Bible at home. Every auxiliary has its own mode of action, and in countless ways the Bible is brought to the people's homes in England. I will just allude to one instance from Lancashire, which is interesting for many reasons. Some people — I think in Manchester or in that neighbourhood— established a Bible-van, and that has had a very great success, and has proved that the Bible supply of England is not yet com- plete. This van goes about in parts of Lancashire and the neighbouring counties offering the Holy Scriptures in all forms for sale. I may say that the Bible Society prefers to sell its books to giving them away, because there is a test that the people make some sacrifice, and therefore will value the book. A colporteur was going round with the van one night when a man came to him and said, " Do you find much sale for yom- books ? " The colporteur replied, "Not at present, my work for the day is over." "Ah," said the operative, "it is all over with that book now ; you will have to tiu-n your hand to something better." The colportein- said, "Come to-morrow and see." He did come, and stood by the van. People came pouring in, and in less than two hours £9 was taken for Bibles and portions. The colporteur said to the man, " What do you think now?" He replied, "I cannot understand it, it makes me think." Well, something else would have made him think if he had known it, because from that van, during the year 1891, 9,400 Bibles, 10,800 Testaments, 11,700 portions were sold to the masses, making a total of 32,000 volumes, great or small, of the value of between £600 and £700. That proves two things to my mind — the readiness of the people to get the Bible when it is brought very close to them, and also the need that still exists in England for the Holy Scriptiu-es being brought to them. I ought to say that we help all sorts of societies in England with our Bibles. There is hardly a mission which we do not assist in that ■way — Missions to Seamen, the Thames Mission, Eescue Societies, Jews' Societies, Reformatory Union, Church Army, Yoimg Men's Christian Association, Deaf and Dumb Asylums, Training Ships, and Railway Missions — eveiy good work of that kind is helped by the Bible Society abundantly. So much for the work at home. Now we come to one of the most interesting parts of our work — namely, the translation work. It is very curious to consider what was the state of the world with regard to Bibles in the year 1804. It is calculated that the Holy Scriptures were only translated at that tim'" THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 305 into fifty languages, tongues, and dialects. One of our best authorities teUs us that in 1888 the Bible was translated in whole or in part into three hundred and eighty-eight tongues or dialects. In that very gieat work, which I have likened to the gift of tongues, the British and Foreign Bible Society has hud the honoiu- of taking a dii-ect part with respect to two hundred and thirty-nine of those languages or dialects, and indirectly in thu-ty-five of them. It has been concerned in fiu'ther- ing the translation, piinting, and distribution of the Bible in three hundred and four tongues. That, I think, is one of the most interesting, and certainly one of the most stiikingly important parts of the work of the Bible Society. The missionaries of the world are therefore largely indebted to us for the weapons with which they go forth into the spiritual warfare. "What can a missionary do without copies of the Holy Book ? I rejoice to think that there is not a missionary who does not pray to have more copies placed at his disposal for distribution amongst the heathen and Mohammedans. If I look at the Church of England societies, I find that the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel and the Church Missionary Society use the Bible in some seventy languages or dialects. They are entii'ely dependent upon the Bible Society for Bibles in sixty out of those seventy tongues. That, I am told, is the case with most of the other great missionary societies of the EvangeKcal churches. And here I must allude to one topic for a moment which I have most at heart. I am sorry to say we at the Bible Society have not been able, owing to some slight differences between us as to our versions, to help* the great Baptist Missionary Society abroad with our BiWes to the same extent as we should wish. However, I am one of those who think that the differences will pass ; they are, after all, few and very slight. Negotiations are at this moment going on, and I think it wiLL be very much to the discredit of us all — the Bible Society, the Baptist IVIissionary Society, and all of us who sit here — if we do not arrange that the Bible Society shoidd be able to help to the fullest extent, as we did in the early days, the most admu-able exertions of the Baptist Missionary Society, and that our two societies should be able to work together everywhere, as we do in many places, in perfect harmony. In these days, when wo have to face ever-fro\vning assaidts on our holy faith, little points of difference must not be allowed to exist between Evan- gelical Chi-istians. Where possible we must get rid of them and sweei") them away, so that we may all march as one great army against the common foe. So much with regard to the translations ; and with respect to the general aid which our Bible work affords to the leading Evangehcal missions. There are two other points which I ought just to touch upon, as I see I have a little time left of that which has been allotted to me by the secretary, 20 306 THE CENTENARY CELEBEATION. First, in what part of the world do the people dwell into whose tongues the Bible has been translated ? It is an interesting point which I have brought out before. The Bible translations exist in sixty-seven European tongues, thirty-five Russian, sixty-two Indian and Indo-Chinese, twenty-four Chinese and Japanese tongues or dialects, (ughteen Melanesian, thirty of the languages of the Oceana, fifty-three of Africa, and twenty-four of America. That gives a general idea of the countries and races affected by the translators' work. The second part to which I must allude I will run rapidly over : it is the method of operation by which we disseminate the Holy Scriptures throughout the world, away from home, and the present extent of those operations. Most, of course, of the Holy Scriptures have been dis- seminated by the missionaries and the auxiliaries ; but we have besides a great system of our own, which touches not only the scholar and the cultivated classes, but more especially the working masses, and especially the poorest of the poor all over the world — that is, oui* system of agencies. Each of the leading countries of the world, almost, has an agent of the Bible Society, who has charge of the depots of the holy books in the leading cities. Under him there is a corps of colporteurs, excellent, devoted Christian men, sprung from the people, who can get access to the workshops and yards, and the humblest huts where the poor congregate, and who carry the Bible for sale amongst them. That is our agency system. Just let me tell you rapidly how many copies of the Scriptures were sold — almost all of these were sold, and not given away — in the leading countries of the world last year by means of the colporteurs and depots and agencies. It is very encouraging, because it shows that, under a great deal of materialism and infidelity, iinder a great deal of unsettlement of the old faiths, there are large numbers of inquirers after God. France took 146,000 ; but Italy, which was closed to us ten years ago, 166,000 ; Spain and Portugal, 64,000 and 19,000, with words of much hope from our agent ; Germany took 234,000, making a total of nearly 700,000. Austro-Hungary, which is full of hope, took 165,000 ; Russia, where the people — both soldiers and laymen — have extraordinary readiness to buy the books— the North took 366,000, and the South 166,000; while Siberia joyfully received, but not so much by buying, 43,000 copies. Then we find in the Mohammedan countries the following figures : Tm-keyin Europe and Greece, 40,000 ; Egypt, 22,000; Morocco, 4,600; Algiers, 6,000. I may say with regard to Mohammedan countries, that the testimony of our agencies all round is that quite lately an extra- ordinary spirit of inquiry has a^ipeared in the Mussulman population — in Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Malaysia, and wherever they congregate. Then to pass to other quarters of the world, we must not omit China, with 230,000, and Brazil, 12,000. That gives you an idea of the actual THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 807 work, whicli may almost be called missionary work — though we give our Bible without note or comment — which the Bible Society has the honour to conduct. And, remember, that it is preparatory to the work of your missionaries. From many a missionary we have heard that people after reading and pondering over the Bible by themselves have; been led to seek for ministers of the various Christian churches ; and thus the Bibles alone and by their OAvn power — the great power of Almighty God— have been the fomidation of new churches in every country in the world. So much for the power of the Holy Bible, alone and unaided by man. There is another point I wish to mention before I close about the Bible Society. "We have in the last ten years given very much help to the Bible- women in the East, to the many societies which are working in that way. I am happy to say there are now twenty- six societies con- nected with all the various Evangelical churches of England, working among the zenanas of the East. Two hundred and sixty-four women are working, and we have been glad to give very large assistance to that most hopefid and most important agency for raising the whole tone of the Oriental homes, and making the mothers, as they should be, the centres of Christian life. Then let me wind up my accoimt by giving you our total issue of the Holy Books : — Our issue last year amounted very nearly to the large figure of 4,000,000 volumes. I say that in no boasting spirit ; but I ask you only to be gratefvd to God that 4,000,000 portions of His Word were circulated afresh in the whole world dming the last year. So much for the operations of the Bible Society, which, of coui'se, I could only very rapidly run over. Before I sit down I must ask you for just one moment to con- sider in what a different position we Christians of England are from that in which our fathers stood one hundred years ago ; what a position of advantage we now have — the Bible printed and obtain- able at any moment in two hundi-ed and seventy tongues, ready for the use of all these peoples and races. Throughout all the different races, whether the civilisations of the Old World, the Oriental civilisation, or the savage races, it is proved to demonstration that the Bible touches their hearts as it has touched English hearts before; that it not only an-ests their attention, but reforms their lives, and leads them as humble believers to the Saviom-'s feet. That surely is an enormous vantage we have in our day. When I talk of it as a vantage-gi'ound, it seems to me that it surely fixes upon us a far gi-eater responsibility than our fathers had one hundi-ed years ago. We have gi-eater oppoi-tionities of spreading the Gospel than they had. We have greater weapons ready to our hands, and I would say. Woe be to us as a nation if we do not use those instruments, which, owing to their self-denial, their faith — when there 20* 308 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. was mucli less cause for that faith, when everything was in its infancy-^ have been prepared for our use. Let me say one word more in the same tone as I began. Let us avoid all glorjing on this occasion. Let us go on in humble faith, imitating the faith of those good men who went before us ; and let us remember, as an absolute condition of the continued progress of Christianity in the heathen world and the world generally, that Christians must exhibit every sign of brotherly kindness amongst themselves. Without that sign, I do not believe in the great spread of Christianity by our hands. But if, as I hope may be the case, there be greater brotherly kindness, and the time is approaching when the world must say of a truth, " See how these Christians love one another," I cannot but believe that if, in the words of your noble apostle Carey, we attempt great things for God, we shall then have every reason to expect that God will give us still gi-eater things. THE REV. rHEDERIC E. WIORAM, M.A., Hon. Secretary of the Church Missionary Society, was the first speaker, who addressed the assembly in the following words : — My Lord Harrowby, Brethren and Sisters in Christ, — You will all agree with me that a period of spii'itual revival in a Church is the signal for missionary enterprise in that Church ; but I think I may help you to fix the thoughts I want to bring before you, with regard to the development of the Church Missionary Society, if I refer you to that wonderful fourteenth chapter of Hosea, deaHng with the spiritual revival of Israel ; and point out to you that the promise, ' ' I will heal theii" backsliding, I will love them freely, for Mine anger is turned away from him," which follows upon theu' repentance, is accompanied by a fui-ther promise. And I want to use the words of that promise as illustrated in the work of the Church Missionary Society. For instance, we read there, "He will cast forth His roots as Lebanon." I want to speak about the roots of the home work of the Society, whence the true growth. Then, "He shall blossom as the lily; His branches shall spread " ; that shall be the development of the work abroad; and then, as the source of all and the sustaining power of all, " I will be as the dew unto Israel" — the Divine Spu-it that vivifies and sustains the work. I will divide our history into three parts : the first, preparatory ; the second, up to our Jubilee in the year 1848-9; and the third, up to this year. Fii'st of all, let me speak of the emhri/o stage, which I would date from about 1776 to 1799, when the spiiitual revival had taken TIIK MEETINGS IX LON'r)ON. 309 place; when iiidividiial uiou, iieiluips in tlieir little comitiy parsonage houses, were yearning after the opportunity of spreading the Gospel ; when holy and devoted laymen in Calcutta, such as Grant, and clergy- men, too, were in coi-respondenco with that gi-eat leader of the Evangelical movement, Charles Simeon, of Cambridge, desiring that something should bo done for India ; when the Eclectic Society at its periodical meetings were praying, consulting, scheming for some method whereby their o-«ti Church should have her fair place in the great effort of evangelising the world ; stimulated, no doubt, by the coming into existence during that time of such societies as the Baptist Missionary Society and the London Missionary Society, and by the noble example of the Moravians. This embryo time culminated in the sowing of the acorn in April, 1799, at a small meeting— but, oh, it was a meeting fvill of faith, full of prayer — and they started the Society then on those principles which have been maintained ever since ; principles which find expression, perhaps, in very favourite words of oui-s — spmtual men for spiritual work — and which find expression in our constant practice "m everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, to make our requests known unto God." Then we come to the tentatioe stage from 1799 to 1813. In 1813 the income of our Society for the year was just over £3,000. We had commenced work nine years before in Sierra Leone ; we had there nme missionaries, seven of whom were maiTied. And what of the rest of the world ? We had two catechists, one of them man-ied in New South Wales, waiting to enter New Zealand, and there is a curious entry in the reports of that year: — "One married catechist, vnth. his -wife and six children on their way out " to New South Wales to join those who were already on theii' way for New Zealand. We have learned something since then, as our Chm-ch Missionary Society Children's Home illustrates ; and I am almost afraid to think what it meant for those six little ones entering a savage, wild country such as Now Zealand Avas then. We had one catechist in Antigua, and then there is this most interesting entry : — " Abdool Messee, a converted Mussulman, public reader of the Scriptures and catechist," at Chinsura, India. That was the extent of our work then. It was the year in which the East India Company had their new charter, and further determined efforts were made to break down the barrier, which hitherto had prevented the evangelisation of India ; and God blessed those efforts, and Protestant missionaries were allowed to enter India ; and the veiy next year oui- income jumped from a little more than £3,000 to over £13,000, and the foUoAving year to over £16,000. The tentative stage was passed, and from that date onward the normal condition has been that of expansion and extension. Now let us take the next two epochs, our Jubilee, 1848-49, and the present year, 1892, up to June 1st. This we must do by instituting a 310 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. comparison. What was the condition of things in 1848-49 ? The Society had opened work in twelve different countries, from two of which they had for good reasons withdrawn. It would be well for you to under- stand what we mean by the word "mission." Wlien we first went to British North America, oui- Mission took in the whole of that country. It has been divided since then. Bishop Tucker is over our Mission in East Africa, which stretches from the coast right up to Uganda, which bespeaks our prayers at the present moment that oiu' Government may be guided to do what is right. At the present time our Missions— that is, these great centres — have gi-own up to twenty; but you will see when I come to some further comparisons that our missionaries who, all told, but exclusive of wives, had been sent out from England iip to the spring of 1849, were 350 ; the missionaries that have been sent out, all told, from that date up to the beginning of this year, are 1,100 ; so that you see this latter shorter period shows a very marked increase. Now as to the income of the Society. During the first fifty years its income was very nearly the same as it has been during the last nine years — the last nine years have a little advantage — £2,169,741 for the fifty years ; £2,181,589 for the last nine years, so we are gi'owing. Our stations then were 104, now they are 327. Our European workers then all told, wives and all, 281 ; now they are 736. Our divinity schools, which are doing such intensely important work in training men for the ministry of the Word as catechists and pastors, were 1 in 1849, now 16 ; and the fruit of these has been that, whereas there were then 11 native clergymen ordained, now there are 281. Our native lay helpers were then 1,292 5 now they are 4,287. Then I will pass on to our ecclesiastical organisa- tion, which is an important development of the missionary work, because om- principle is to get the church developed before we put a top stone on to it. We do not think that you can send out a ' ' church in its entirety ' by sending a bishop with some clergy under him ; because the most im- portant part of the church is then lacking — namely, the laity. But we send out our evangelist, and we look for the bishop as the top-stone in due time. Since our Jubilee there has been formed in missions in which we are working, and in ahnost all cases, more or less, at our instigation and in a great number at our OAvn expense, nineteen new bishoprics, I suppose about nine of them would certainly be at our expense. So far, then, for the development as marked by figures ; but there is a great deal more that one would wish to point out as indicating growth. Before, however, passing from figures I would like to remind you of what evidence we have had that the policy of faith in these matters is the right policy. I might refer you to 1813, when, as already stated, India was opened out to us ; and to 1844, when we were met by a deficit of £13,500, a large sum in those days. We readjusted our work, but we did not dispense "svith the sei-vices of one single missionary, and our income THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 311 jumped in tho following year from £93,000 to £115,000. Again, in 1888, our Finance Committee, with what I have often called their business-like faith, represented to our Committee the serious responsi- bility that they were incurring in sending out all fit comers as they were doing, but by the ad%'ice of our Finance Committee we passed a resolu- tion that we would continue to send out all comers whom we believed to be called of God for the work ; trusting that He Avho supplied them would supply the mean^. Now, what is the moral of that ? The way to get money in missionary enterprise, surely, is to spend, trusting in the Lord and working. Then let me briefly refer to oiu* associations. In 1813 we had eleven associations. I cannot tell you how many we had on oiu' Jubilee year — • it would be a seiious matter to work it out; but we now have 3,700 associations, and the country sent up last year £162,000. Wo are represented in some o,400 parishes. And now let mo turn to the dismissal of missionaries, and I would say that for a good many years we could not get any English clergymen. We were indebted to Germany for about one hundred missionaries before the Jubilee year, but in our JubUee year we sent out, including wives, nineteen. On the list that was in our hands yesterday in this great hall, when Ave were taking leave of our missionaries, there were 131. Not counting the wives in the former period, there were seven returning to their work and six recruits ; yesterday there were forty-seven returning to their work and forty-eight recruits. So we may thank God and take courage Avith regard to that. Then I would speak of some new developments of our home Avork, and first I would mention our Aveekly prayer-meetings in .Salisbiuy Square, our Febi-uary simultaneous meetings, which aim not at promoting our interests, but at pressing upon the Church of Christ the claim of the heathen and Mohammedan's Avorld, and God has used us in this way far and Avide in our home church. And noAV I might mention our federation of colonial churches which Eugene Stock and Eobei-t Stewart have brought about so happily in Australia, and I beUcA^e shortly Avill do in New Zealand also. I should bke to mention many CA-idences of devdoii- ment, hoAv Avhole people are turned to God. T might mention countries in Avhich our Society has been the only Protestant missionaiy organisa- tion at work, for instance, New Zealand, where there is a most wonderful development of the native Chiu'ch ; whole tribes in British North America have been won to the Cross ; but there is something better even than Avhole masses being turned. Thei-e are noble indi- vidual instances of whole-hearted surrender to God ; and when I Avent round the world to visit our missions, I had many a happy interview with individual Christian workers. With reference to the growth of our numbers, I omitted to mention 312 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION.' our female agency. In 1849 we liad eleven female missionaries, in 1887 ■we had twenty-two, and this year lOT. But now, in conclusion, are we satisfied ? No, no, indeed we are not ! We are humbled to the dust as we realise how, in answer to our prayers, God has set before us open doors and we are not able to enter in. In spite of the supply of men, our Committee are asking me to find no less than 122 missionaries now whom they are desiring to send out if we can only get them. No, as wo look out and we see how the leaves of the tree do not suffice to shelter those over whom it has spread its branches, and how we can hoar crying from the regions beyond, ' ' Come over and help us," we are humbled ; as we look at home and realise that so many parishes know nothing of missionary work, and that so many of the 5,400 parishes that support us do so in a very feeble way, we are indeed humbled. But there is another look that we should take, and do take. We look up, and we know that He who said, " I will be as dew unto Israel," will still hear and answer our prayer, will send down upon our Committees and upon our home-workers and friends, upon our missionaries throughout the field, and upon our converts the dew of His heavenly grace, that the work may grow exceeding ; for indeed the Lord hath been mindful of us, and we know that He will bless us, for " the merciful kindness of the Lord is ever more and more towards us," and "the truth of the Lord endureth for ever." Hallelujah. The nest speaker was MR. ALBERT SPICER, M.P., the Treasurer of the London Missionary Society, who said ; — ■ With very sincere pleasure do I stand upon this platform this afternoon as the representative of the London Missionary Society to share in youi joy at seeing a hundred years of work completed in connection withtht Baptist Missionary Society. But I confess that last Saturday afternoon, as I was returning to London after a short absence from home, I was a little oppressed when reading my Pall Mall Gazette to see the account of an interview which the Editor had had with your indefatigable secretary, Mr. Baynes, and to learn then for the first time that I was supposed to come here this afternoon, and in fifteen minutes describe the work of the London Missionary Society for ninety-seven years. I turned my thoughts at once to the consideration of my speech. I thought of the work that had been done in the South Seas. I thought of India, with its many stations, north, south, east, and west. I thought of the gi-eat Empire of China, and of Madagascar with its wonderful developments of Christian life. I thought of South Africa and the West Indies, of New Guinea, and last, but not least, of Central Africa, which so demands our THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. • 313 prayers. And theu I thought of the men "vvho had passed away, and who had helped to found and carry on the work in those diil'crent districts ; of WilUams of Erromanga ; of Mullens, a name so honoured in India ; of Morrison of China ; of Ellis of Madagascar ; and of Moffat of South Africa ; of Murray of New Guinea ; and of Dodgshun of Central Africa ; and I thought of these men as types of many hundi-eds who had been at work during those ninetj^-seven years, and of the thousands of earnest men and women whose lives have been made purer, kindlier, nobler, and more Christ-like because of the labours of our missionaries. And whilst I thought of these men and theii- work, I seemed to hear their voices saying to me, "Friend, do not spend too long in describing our work. We realise, as we never realised before, our own weaknesses, ouroAvn failures. We are deeply thankful for what we were able to do ; but remember when you go to Exeter Hall to say we Avere but pioneers in the great missionary enterprise. We Avere workers in the first century of missions; you, friends, are beginning a second centuiy of missions. We entered the doors that were open ; we went where we could ; we did the work that was nearest to our hands ; we did it in the best way that we could with the experience that we had, but we made many mistakes, and we look to you now commencing this second century of missions to leam by our experience and to avoid our mistakes, and we look to you so to conduct the missions of the second century that they shall far transcend in glory those of the first." And it seemed to me, my lord, that this voice was the voice of reason. I felt that I had been invited to speak in the name of the London Missionary Society. My only claim for speaking is that next year I shall have completed twenty years' service as a director, and that I have had the glorious opportunity of seeing the Avhole of our mission stations in India. I have also seen our work in the Samoan Islands of the South Seas. In addition, the responsibility of the treasurership has rested upon me for the last seven years. I want, therefore, to look forward as well as to look back, and I Avant this meeting to look at some of the experiences that the friends whom I have mentioned have gained, so that we may help to make the new century far more fi-uitful than the past. And first of all I would say that we want to make missionary work more real in our churches than it is to-day. One of the good results of a visit I paid to Australia a few years ago was to help the revival of missionary interest in our churches there, and as further result they have given us of their daughters for the mission-field. The Australian still looks iipon England as home. India and China are half-way home to England, and therefore what more natural than that those who liad given up their daughters to send as mission- aries to India and China should go and see them, and that they 314 . THE CENTENAEY CELEBRATION. should go and see the work in whicli they are engaged, and take messages of good cheer from those at home ? I hope the time is not far distant when we shall have a comparatively large number of the members of our churches going to visit their sons and theu' daughters engaged in missionary work. "We have, I am thankful to say, in many of our churches those who are able to get away from the fogs of this gi-eat metropolis and bask for a while in the sunshine of the south of France. I would venture to recommend to them that they should sometimes extend their journey a little, and go and see some of the missionary work that I have seen in the northern part of India. Let them go with kind hearts and generous sympathies, and they will have a splendid reception, and will see work of which they may be thankful and proud. They 'svill come back to give a new idea of missions to the churches at home ; they will come back and be the means of creating new interests and new desires, because of new knowledge. Again, I think during this second centui-y we shall need to have a little more intelligent knowledge of missions and the mission-field, even in the rank and file of oui- foreign committees and boards of directors. I think, my friend, Mr. Baynes, you will have to do a good deal more in posting up your chief committee-men throughout the country as to the work that you are really doing. I believe that we need a great many more maps> and accurate maps, not only in our Sunday-schools and in our homes, but on the walls of our committee-rooms. We need to know and be taught more what we really aim at, and then I think that if we more intelli- gently understand the work, there will be a much stronger conviction that wo must press on in the direction indicated by Mr. Arthington's letter, of trying to make plain, common-sense divisions amongst the different sections of the Christian Church with regard to this great foreign missionary enterprise. And now, my lord, I want to ventui'e to tread on, perhaps, delicate ground. I am going to say this, that in the second century of missions we must make more use of women. We are all thankful for what the wives of our missionaries have done, but Ave have come to learn that there is a place also for women in our mission-field, working side by side with the male missionaiies. I look back, Mr. Baynes, Avith great pleasure to the evening that I spent in your ladies' missionary house in Delhi. But I think that we want to go a step further. I think that we need to endeavour to get the sympathetic help of some of our intelligent women in our committee-rooms and our board-rooms. I am convinced that we shall have as a result a deeper spiritual fervour ; we shall have a keener interest, not only in the work itself in the committee-room, but we shall have a keener interest taken in the churches with which these different women are identified. I am sure that we have gained immensely in the London Missionary Society in our Forward Movement, because of the THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 315 addition of woinen to our board. After all, we men, and especially those of us engaged in commercial affairs, are apt to go into committees Avith- out, possibly, enougb reflection and forethought. We are apt to look upon it all too much as a business affair. The women, however, help us to remember that, after all, it is Christ's work, and must be done in Christ's name and in Christ's spirit and for Christ's sake. And may I go a step further, and say that I think the second century of missions will mean that we must display more sanctified statesmanship in our work abroad ? We needed in the earlier days of missions to give a great deal of strength to preaching ; but we must recollect that if the great mass of people in those vast countries, with their teeming popula- tions, are to be brought to Christ, we must send out men who are capable of impressing themselves upon the people of the country, and then, in theii- turn, send them out in their himdreds and thousands to preach to their fellow-men. Oui- training institutions, again, must not only be founded, but they must be regularly and systematically and continuously backed up. These training institutions must never be left weak-handed, and Avith insufficient strength to work them proj)erly. As I look back over the ninety- seven years of the work of the London Missionary Society, I see perfectly clearly that, where our training institutions have been right, there the work is going on steadily and soundly ; but where the training institutions have either not been founded, or from time to time neglected, there the work is not so good by a very long way. Again, the training must be done in such a way that the natives whom Ave train are not unfitted in their training for going back to native life. I saw all the different training and educational institutions of our societies throughout India. I also saw a great many in connection with other societies ; but I say this — that I saw no training institution throughout India that had the real lines of statesmanship so displayed in them as I saw in our own Institution at Malua, in the South Seas. And why do I say this ? What justifies such a strong remark ? It is this : that in that Institution in Malua our early missionaries saw that in those islands, with their villages scattered along the sea coast, if they were to succeed in having the Gospel preached throughout their length and breadth, it nnist be by the natives themselves. They, therefore, founded the Training Institution at Malua. They said to themselves, ' ' Now these men will be going back to vUlage life. We must not unfit them for that." They therefore took care that, in addition to the arrangements for their intellectual training, they should obtain sufficient ground so that all the students, most of them married men, might come there with their wives, and in the plantation might earn their own livehhood whilst they were there. What is the effect ? That these men do not get in their training as pastors imaccustomed to their ordinary life. And it has also, of course, a double advantage. Apart from the cost of providing 316 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. for tlie salaries of the European missionaries, it is otherwise a self- supporting institution. When these men have finished their training, after a few houi's every week in the plantation, they go back again to theii' different villages, where they are chosen as pastors ready to carry on the native work which they left when they went away. So, I say, let us be careful, in laying the lines of our training institutions, to see that we adapt them to the lives which the men will afterwards have to lead. Again, let us see to it in this second century of Christian missions that the native church is founded on such lines that, apart from the question of European supei-vision, it may become self- supporting. If I mistake not, we are going in a comparatively short time to have a great movement towards Christianity in India. In the letters that I rexd from week to week I see very clear indications of it in connection ^vith. our o^vn Society in the Telugu country in South India, and now it seems to be commencing again in connection with the Pariah class, the out-caste class, inTravancore. Only this last week I saw a letter from one of our own missionaries. The Pariahs, you know, are the outcasts of society, and in reference to the movement that is going on he mentions the origin of it. "The move- ment amongst the Pariahs derived great impetus from the prominence given to the I'ecommendations of Dewan Bahadusi Shrinivasa Eaghava, who, in the spring of this year, published at the request of the Madras Government a memorandimi on the economic progress of the Madras Presidency during the last forty years of British administration. In that memorandum he pointed out that, though the state of the Pariahs called loudly for amelioration, there was no hope for them within the pale of Hinduism, and that the best thing that can happen to them is conversion either to Christianity or to the Mohammedan religion. The prominence which has been given among them to the advice thus given them by a learned Brahmin to become Christians has wonderfully roused those j)eople, and they profess a great eagerness to have Christian teachers given them. I believe that this, after all, is a sign of the times. We have to be prepared for this coming over of those who from different motives wish to adopt the Christian religion, and I say, therefore, let us see to it that we use wisdom in oiu* plans for the founding of native churches. I have ventured to say these things in view of your fresh start. To me foreign mission work is the complement and completion of all other home mission, social, philanthropic, and political work. Without it I feel that all this other work is maimed and warped. We in these sea- gu-t islands, in touch with all the Avorld, have been entrusted with the Gospel of Christ. I ask you that Ave see to it, that entnisted as we have been we should accept the responsibility joyfully, and lovingly to do what we can to pass on that Gospel to our fellow- creatures throughout all the world, THE MEETINGS IN LONDON* 317 Mr. Baynes, then rising to explain the absence of the Rev. E. Jenkins, D.D., Hon. Secretary of the Wesleyan Missionary Society, said : — I am sure you will all rcgrcfc to liear that, in consequence of illness, Dr. Jenkins is unable to be present with us. Sir Andi-cw Clark, wlio is attending him, positively interdicted him from being here. He has, however, written this letter : " It is to me a subject of profound regi-et that the state of my health -will not allow me to fulfil the promise I gave to your Committee to take part in your Centenary Thanksgiving Meeting. I should have considered it a lofty privilege to contribute my testimony to the centennial record of your great Society, and to the spii'it in which your noble missionaries have from the very beginning done their work. In this they have illustrated the pattern of their founder. Dr. Cai'ey. The example of their catholicity, of their fidelity to the Gospel of Christ, of their learning in the literature of the missionary work, of their courage in positions of difficulty and grave peril, and of the brilliant results they have obtained is an inspii'ation to us all, and we are all debtors to the Baptist missionaries. Hoping that your present celebration may renew the gi-atitude and hope of your own Church, and bring showers of blessing upon other fields, believe me, yours in the service of Chiist, E. E. Jexkins." I am sure we all deeply sympathise with Dr. Jenkins, but I know you will rejoice to hear that we have on the platform the Eev. Charles Kelly, and I feel it due to the ex-president of the Wcslej an Conference to state here that, for the second time, with characteristic generosity, when I called on Mr. Kelly, at ten o'clock last night, and asked him to be here, he said he would come. I feel gi-eatly indebted to Mr. Kelly for the generous way in which he met a request at the eleventh hour, and I am certain wo shall all rejoice to hear him at this meeting. REV. CHARLES H. KELLY. My Lord, Ladies and Gentlemen, — I am sure no one regrets Dr. Jenkins' absence so much as I do. Dr. Jenkins is an eloquent man, and I am not. Dr. Jenkins is a returned missionary, and I am not. Dr. Jenkins was one of the secretaries of the Wesleyan Missionary Society, and I am not. But I am here because Mr. Baynes was evidently in a very great strait last night, wanting someone to represent Methodism, and I am quite sui-e that the Methodist peojile would like to be represented here, and, therefore, I came. You have said, my lord, that this is a meeting for thanksgiving, and siu-ely the history of the last hundied years should cause every heart in this place to bound for joy, and every voice to sing a song of praise to God. A hundi-ed years is not a long time in the history of a ' Church, 318 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. nor in the history of a great movement. If you think of it, there are people living to-day who were alive when Carey was at work. I remember, some dozen years ago or more, your venerable father sat where you sit to-day. He spoke then with reference to the Centenary of Sunday-schools, and I was struck with one thing that he said. He said that in a short time comparatively — a man's life — so much good had been done ; and one of his earliest recollections was that, walking one day when he was a boy in the streets of the city of Gloucester with his kinsman, the then Bishop of Gloucester, they saw an old man quaintly dressed coming down the street. The Bishop spoke to him and introduced the boy, and then when they went on he said to your father, " My boy, never forget that you have shaken hands with Eobert Eaikes, the founder of Sunday-schools." Now that illustrated very distinctly, to my mind, how much can be done in a short time. Then the Sundaj'- scholars of the world were few. Four years after Eaikes began his work — 109 years last month — when the first sermon was preached on behalf of Sunday-schools, Eaikes went to hear it. It was preached in a parish church in Gloucestershire. He said the congregation was good. He said that the sermon was noble. He said that the text was an appro- priate one, and that is a great deal more than can be said of many sermons. He said, with something like pardonable pride, " Two thousand to three thousand Sunday-school scholars are in the world;" and yet in the lifetime of persons who had seen Eobert Eaikes, that institution grew so that there were two millions of Sunday-school teachers and sixteen millions of Sunday-school scholars. Now when you apply the same thought to the Baptist Missionary Society, see how it is. Men are living to-day — just lingering here on the borderland, it is true — who were alive when Carey was still alive, and in their lifetime this Society has grown from the little that it was to what it is to-day. There was a seed, tiny as a mustard-seed, for the root ; and the tree to-day is one under which people can shelter themselves. But if this period is not long, it has been long enough to show how much work can be done, how much success can be secured, how many agents can be got, and how devoted and heroic many of them can be. I take it that meetings of this kind, services of this kind, these Centenary celebrations, are something more than merely services for thanksgiving. They are declarations as to the future. This meeting means this — the work is to continue. I was in the city of Dublin a while ago, and I heard a gentleman speaking there who said that there was an old woman in Dublin, an old resident, but no one would bury the poor old soul ; her husband would not, children would not. Board of Guardians would not. City Council would not. Lord Mayor would not, the churches would not, and the question was asked, ' ' "Why will not they bury the poor old woman ? " and the answer was, " Because she is not dead." And if any- THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 319 one wants to know why this gi-eat Society is not to be set aside, put into the ground and buried, that is the answer, It is not dead. There was great need, as we have heard to-day, for this sort of work in Carey's day. That need continues. The need for missionary Avork is as great now as it was when, one hundred years ago, these good and blessed men began their toil. The heathen are still unsaved, the people are still untaught, and the sense of responsibility is just as keen, or ought to be, in the Christians of to-day as it was in the days of our fathers. What encom-aged these men to work ? They had Christ's commission, and that commission bade them go into all the world and preach the Gospel. They were men who used the Lord's Prayer. That prayer taught them to beseech the Master that His Kingdom might come. They were people who sang the Doxology, and they looked to the time when every creature was to praise the Lord. And when they had these encouragements in Holy Writ, from Christ's teaching and from the hymns of the Chm-ch, depend upon it they knew they were on the right lines when they hoped to see the day when the world would be converted to God, and when they had such faith in God as to believe that if they did great things for Him, and attempted great things for Him, they might expect great things too. Depend upon it, at that day they went to their work in good heart and with strong expectation. Now, my lord, with reference to the futui-e ; of that, we have great hope. We have the promises of God's Word. The Church of Jesus Christ in this Society has as much right to suppose that there will be continued and increased success as these men one hundred years ago had to expect ; and we have gi-eater encouragement. No doubt there are people who do not think as we do upon this point. No doubt there are men who, as Lord Harrowby said, think that the Bible is a book done with, and that the people won't have it. Well, such men will not live to see the day. We are among those who believe that the highest expectation of God's people AviU be realised, and that the bright promises of God's Word will be fulfilled. But I do not wonder that people doubt. We are expecting so much. Why should people who have not the same principles to guide them, and the same beliefs, expect as we do ? If you stand at some of the seaside places on the coast, you may see, when the water is far out, how everything is damp and miserable ; and the man is told, " If you will stand here in two hours from now, aU this will be changed; you mil not see sand, you will not see mud, you will see a great silver sea. All this will be covered with water." The man who knows nothing of the law of tides, and who has been there at the seaside for the fii-st time that hour, may be pardoned if he does not believe the man who says this. But then we know that the water will come in, the tide will flow, and that at the time mentioned all that will be covered ; there will not be a single crevice that will not be filled, there will not be a single grain 320 THE CEN^ENAEY CfiLEfeRATION. of sand that can be seen. We know it. But the same God that rules in the physical world rules in the spiritual, and the same God who has said that the moon and sun shall shine, and the tide shall flow, has said the day shall come when righteousness shall cover the earth as the waters cover the great deep. And this is the great work of the Baptist Missionary Society, and, coming from another Society and from another part of the Chnrch of Christ, from another regiment of the great army, the sacramental host of the Lord's elect, I say to you— Take coui-age, be of good heart. The best wish that we can wish for you is that you will be as good as your fathers were, as earnest as they were. You will never be better, but you may be as good. You will never have higher aims, nobler spirits, more self-devotion ; but you can have as much. And if you pray for the blessing of the Lord of Hosts, the God of Carey, and Marshman, and Ward, the blessing of the Lord which was upon them and has been upon the Baptist churches for these himdred years, will still be upon you and upon yours. We are told that we are near to another century. The boys and girls in your houses and Sunday-schools, the childi-en of now are the men and women of the twentieth century. My dear friends, you have got the affection of the old men and old women and of a great many of the men of middle life. Take care with reference to this great missionary movement that you enlist the sympathies of the young. Take care that in your schools and in yoiu: houses you drill them well in the principles of their Church. Take care that you teach them why you are and why youi- Missionary Society is, and what your Missionary Society has done ; and if you secure the devotion of the sons and daughters of your houses, and the children of your schools, depend upon it the futui-e of this Society shall be brighter even than the past. I come to you, my dear friends, Avithout being sent from my own Churchy but I am quite sure if we had only known yesterday morning that I was to be invited to come here, in our Missionary Committee they would have given me a message of greeting to you, and therefore, without having it given to mo, I will give it to you. I say from them and from the bottom of my' heart, grace, mercy, and peace be unto you, and may the blessing of the God of Jacob richly rest upon all your missions. THE EEV. J. OSWALD DYKES, D.D., who represented Presbyterian Missions, next spoke. He said : — My Lord and Christian Friends, — I esteem it a very high privilege to be permitted to take part in the proceedings of this very special and ex- ceptional day, and to join with you in celebrating the thanksgivings to Almighty God for the progress of missions diu'ing the past century. I have been asked to give you in the few minutes at my disposal a conspec- l^ltE MEE'J^INGfcs L\ LOXnOlfi 3-'l lus of tlie Work of the Presbyte liau Cliurcli in the luissiuh-fiekl iluriug the time which has passed since missions began. I feel the same tliiiiculty as previous speakei's have done in endeavouring to compress so huge a subject into a feW minute's ; and my difficulty is not lessened by the fact that I do not repres in the Gospel message ; and, as I walked back to my lonely home in Hsin-Cheo that evening, my heart was sad within me. But it was a glorious evening. The reapers in the fields were loading their wagons wth golden sheaves. The walls of the distant city were bathed in the light of the setting sun. Little groups of people were wending their way across the plain to their village homes ; and the grand old mountains, that had seen the city built and the villages spring up one by one, seemed grander and more peaceful than ever as they reared their sunlit peaks into the evening sky. And as the missionary walked home from his village preaching, thinking of the time when the spiritual hai"vest would come, his heart grew calm, his doubts were hushed to rest, and his spirit seemed to drink of God's o^vn peace as he gazed upon those everlasting hiUs. Beautiful world I Glorious sunshine ! But the dream was interrupted by a voice behind, saying, in Chinese : " Oh, sir-, can you do anything to heal a mthered hand?" I turned to question the man who spoke, and he went on to say; "No, not mine, but my brother's. I am a poor man and so is he, and we have an aged mother at home. This brother of mine is only thirty-two years of age, and he had a "wife and two childi-en at home, a girl of nine and a boy of six. He could only just manage to keep them by working hard, but some time ago he woke up to find that his hands had lost all their power, and he hasn't done any work since. He had to sell his wife." " What I " said I. " He had to sell his wife. There wasn't enough food for them all to eat." " How much did he get for her? " "About twenty-eight thousand cash (£3). Another man in the village bought her to be his wife." "But what did the children do !' " "Oh, they cried; and we all cried. It makes me cry now to think of it. But what could we do ? There was no food to eat, and no one to help. And now that money is all gone, and if he .^50 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. doesn't get his hands well they must all starve, and we have an old mother at home of seventy-five. Oh, sir, can you do anything to heal those Avithei-ed hands ? " The sun had set before I reached the city. The light faded from the hills, and night came on. The man who had felt the calm of the sunset upon th(i hai-vest fields and the beautiful mountains plunged into the stifling air of the heathen city with that cry, ' ' Can you do anything ? ' ' ringing in his ears. The thought of the desolate home, the weeping children, the wife sold to another man, and the misery of the approaching winter for that one family oppressed me ; and other stories I had recently heard of misery and opium-smoking and vice and suicide came crowding into my mind with the question. Can 7/071, do anytlvincj ? Far into the night I sat and thought of the sorrows of that Christless multitude. The pain of that heathen city seemed to crush me. Presently the stillness of the night was broken by the wail of some women in the next house over someone who had just died; and a horror of great darkness seemed to close over me as I realised the misery that reigned in those thousands of homes without a single gleam of hope, and myself the only missionary of the Cross in the whole disti-ict. How I longed then to be face to face with you Christian people to put the question, " Can you do anything ? " Oh, sirs, can you do anything to heal those withered hands ? Can you do anything to heal the crushed hearts and sin-stricken lives of the mighty host of men and women who are now dying in the darkness ? Can you do anything to bring light into those homes, to satisfy the cravings of those hungry souls, to still the wail of despair that rises from Christless homes J" Oh, friends, can you do anything ? You rich people, who spend hundi'cds of pounds upon yourselves, and give a few guineas to missions, can you do anything ? You ministers, who have the gift of speech, and could rouse the churches to action by your eloquence, can you do anything ? Yovi women, with your power of passionate, impor- tunate prayer that can move the aim of God, can you do anything ? Oh, let us decide before God to-night that we will do something- something more than we have done — in response to that cry. For, mark you, it can be done. If the task were a hopeless one, we might fold our arms and do nothing. If we had no power to save those people, we might stop our ears and decline to listen to that wail of misery. I remember, during those early days in Shan-si, marching through the famine-stricken country, past wagon-loads of women and young- girls who had been bought for a few shillings, and were being taken north to be sold ; past bands of refugees, Avho were trying to get out of the famine district ; past ruined houses, and the bones of men and women who had given up the struggle, and liad died by the wayside ; THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 851 past others lying helpless and dying on the road, within sight of those who had died before, and almost within touch of the wild dogs that were waiting to feed npon their flesh. We saur them, but we had no potner to help, and we just had to clench our teeth and go right on. We had no money. No power to save ! Wo just had to steel our hearts and go right on, day after day, for weeks. You can't imagine what that meant. I shall never forget the despair of that awful journey. Nor shall I ever forget the joy -w-ith Avhich, months afterwards, I stood in those same cities and villages with relief for the dying, with powei- to save ! We were too late to save those we had seen dj-ing when Ave passed that Avay before, but we could save others Avho Avere fast folloAving in their steps ; and that experience of power to save Avas one of the most exquisite of my Avhole life. And it is so noAv I We must not despair I We can do something. We have the very thiiuj these people need. It is not money, nor education, nor science, but the Bread of Life. The Saviour of the lost. The Gospel of Jesus Christ ! .It alone can lift them up out of the darkness. We have it, and it is the very thing they need. I should like to tell yoii in a fcAv words the story of one man, just to shoAV you Avhat the Gospel can do for all. A middle-aged Chinese scholar sat in my study at Hsin Cheo one day and said, " I had not smiled for more than tAventy years " I could Avell believe it. When he first came to our services, two years before, he Avas the very picture of despair. He sat by himself in the far comer of the room, and seldom spoke. His hard-set features never relaxed, and his Avhole bearing impressed one Avith the idea that he had been crushed by some aAvful trouble. And now ho told his story. He had been a student for many years, and had Avorked hard to attain his degree. He had one bosom friend, a felloAv-student, Avith Avhom he shared every thought. They worked together, and together passed their examinations, and returned to their native village full of the honours of new-made degree men. But before the festivities Avere over, Mr. Tung found that his friend Avas false, and had brought shame into his home. A terrible scene ensued. The false friend Avas exposed. The injured wife committed suicide by jumping doAvn a Avell, and Tung Avent out of his mind and fled from his home. For days and nights he Avandered, a hopeless outcast, through the Avildest parts of that district, goaded on by a fierce, aimless frenzy of hatred and despair. At last he returned to his native village. His hair had gi-OAAm grey, and his face was changed. He took up his abode in a desei'ted temple, and lived a lonely life, spending the nights in strange vigils, and fasting till he Avas nearly stai-ved. The people in the Anllage believed him to be mad. He believed himself to be bcAvitched, and, as time went on, hatred and dcspaii' Avere intensified by superstitious dread, 352 THE CENTENARY CELEBBATION. and a horror of gi'eat darkness closed over him. Feared by others, and himself fearing all men, he spent his days in trying to avoid his fellows, and his nights in sleepless terror of the malicious beings with which his diseased fancy had peopled the darkness. He lived in abject fear, startled by every sound that disturbed the stillness of the night, afraid even of the summer breeze as it played in and out his broken paper windows. " And I had not smiled for more than twenty years, but " {But I he met one of our evangelists. He came to a Christian service. He learned to pray. He was led to Christ, who delivered him from the fear of the devil.) "Now I can smile. I have joy and peace in my heart," and I can smile; " and he leaned back in his chair and laughed, a blight, joyous, holy laugh, that showed how truly his heart was at rest. Yes, wo had the venj tiling that man needed I Some months later we had trouble in one of our out-stations. Persecution was rife. The rowdies of the town had determined to stamp out the " new religion." Sticks had been used, and knives too. One man had been attacked by his own brother, and had only saved himself by dashing through the window, and fleeing from the town. We held a meeting to decide what should be done, and Mr. Tung was there. The evangelists were afraid ; the inquirers were panic-stricken ; and they all ui'ged us to appeal to the magistrate, in the hope that he would make an example of the ringleader. At last Mr. Tung was asked what he thought of the matter, and he rose and said: "Sir, you have come here to show forth God's great benevolence and love. I think we had better try and convert the man," "Will you go and do it ? " said I. " Oh, yes I " was the answer. "When?" "I will go now," and he left the meeting. A few minutes later he passed out of the mission gates, with his bundle on his back, going forth alone, to meet the rowdies on their own gi-ound. A few hours afterwards, when we arrived there, we found Mr. Tung standing in the midst of a huge crowd. The rowdies were there ; the ringleader was there ; and many cmious idlers were there, who had come together in expectation of a row. But Tung stood in their midst, and they all listened with wonder as, in calm, imwavering tones, he told them how that for " more than twenty years " he had been ci'ushed by the burden of his sins, and cowed by the fear of the devil ; but he had found a friend in Jesus, who had delivered him from all his fears, and given him perfect peace. Yes, thank God, there is no reason for despair. We have the very thing that is needed to save such men, and to lift them right up from the THE MERTIXOS IN LOXDON. "53 lowost dopths of eowavclico and despair to thr' lovol of the apostles and martyrs and heroes of the Cross.

Here and now, I mean. Oh, let us do some- thing now, while the Spirit of God is pleading ; let us yield ourselves to Him for this work ! There stands One among us to-night whom we cannot see, though our hearts beat quicker as we nnilise His presence. Ill' has heard the wail of those dying millions. And in His feet and liands are wound-prints ; and about His whole person are th(^ traces of the agony He bore to give them what they need. He thought it worth while to go to the Cross for their salvation ; and I believe it is stiU the deepest desire of our Saviour's heart that those people shall hear of His love. Shall that desii-e remain unsatisfied ? Shall His death be in vain for them ? Shall generation after generation be swept into the grave without ever hearing the story of the Cross ? Oh, let us decide what our share in this work should be. Forgetting each other, forgetting the past, as if our Saviour Himself stood here and pleaded ^vith us to help, let us decide what we will do, how much we can give, who of us can go, who of us should work here for the same cause ; and whatever we do, let us do it as unto Him who loved us and gave Himself for us, The Congo Mission was represented by THE REV.

FORFEITT, who delivered the following address : — Mr, Chairman and Christian Friends, — I want you to hear the speaker who is to follow me, and I will try Avitli your patience to be as biief as possible, but just for a moment I want to introduce to you our station at Bopoto, a thousand miles uj^ the River Congo. We will pass over liow we got there, and I "wall endeavour to explain to you in simple and biief words what sight awaited us as we steamed up that mighty river and came to this far-off station a thousand miles from the coast. Our distinguished leader, Mr. Grenfell, was with us. My colleague, Mr. Oram, was with me, and as we entered the beach, there awaited us a host of people full of excitement, a people you cannot imagine. I never before saw such, nor did I expect to see such ; many of them were absolutely ,nakcd, their faces were mutilated and tattooed all ovei-, and many of them bad their bodies tattofied as well. It was a siglit I never shall 23 354 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION, forget; and I theught as we ontci-od the beach, " Is it hero vv^o are to work for Christ ? " After we had decided to stay there, and had bought the land — costing us something like £44 — our goods and provisions for three or four months, together with our tools with which to build, were hurried on to the beach and the steamer departed in a few hours. Mr. Grenfell, at the time, was unwell, and we were anxious he should get back to his station at Bolobo with all possible speed, much as we should have enjoyed their company for the first two or three days among such a people. The steamer departed from the beach, and we were left alone. Alone, did I say ? Nay, not alone, for He who gave the commission, "Go," also said, " Lo ! I am with you alway." "We looked fondly at the Peace as it disappeared from our view. "We turned ourselves round and looked at the people. We looked at oiir house, about ten or twelve feet long, four feet high, and four feet wide. Into this little house we had to go for the night, crowding in all our goods. In a few days better accommodation was provided, and in the next two or three months building work was the great thing. As months passed we wore looking forward to the arrival of the Peace. "We were beginning to hope for the arrival of fresh provisions, as we had only brought with iis sufficient for three or four months. Just as we were looking for the Peace and expect- ing every day that we shoidd see her, what was the news that came P It was to the effect that the Peace had been taken by the Congo State, and that she had gone up another river carrying soldiers and ammunition. Imagine our thoughts, our provisions almost ended ! As we thought of the Peace and the dangerous voyage she was about to take, we could not help wondering if she would return. We know that it was rather a dangerous river, and we thought the Peace might i^ossibly go upon the rocks or, in the hands of the State, might come into conflict Avith the natives. We wore anxiously thinking and wondering what the end would be. Months passed, our provisions were finished ; we had not a tin of meat ; our sugar had all gone. We divided our half-pound of tea between us, and we took great care of those few ounces, and we took care that none but ourselves should make it. As a rule, we leave it to the boys to make, but this tea we cherished. We knew the day might come when Vv^e might have fever, and should need a refreshing cup of tea. Only a few weeks before this news came an expedition had passed up the river. Just below our station the ship had run upon a submerged tree, and very soon the vessel went to the bottom. There were some fourteen or fifteen white men attached to the expedition. Their pro- visions were all spoilt, and as they passed by our station it was a pitiable sight to see how ravenous they were, in the heart of Africa, for the commonest food of the natives. We could not leave them so. We sup- , THE MEETINGS IX LONDOX. • 355 plied tlioni witli as many provisions as wo possibly could, fully expecting that the Peace would come ; but we heard that she had gone far away up another tributary, and we could not expect her for some months longer. Not only were our provisions finished, but our barter-stock was gone. We had nothing with which to pay tlio workmen, and I am glad to say that they came to us for the whole of those months on trust. We had not anything with which to buy fowls. We had a few things, but not what the people wanted; we were exiDocting them on the Pi we. From one meal to another we scarcely knew what we sliould have. But God was with us, and He provided for om- need. We wei'e not faint-hearted ; we knew He was with lis. And so we wore thankful that at the end of eight months from the time we had settled at Bopoto, in June we saw the Peace coming in the distance. You can imagine our gladness to see her ; not so much for our own sake, but to know that she was safe. Now what have we seen in this land ? I have told you that the people have spoilt their good looks, if they ever had any, by extravagant tattooing. But what are some of their customs ? Heathen in the ex- treme. I was passing thi'ough a village one day, and just behind a little low hut I saw the body of a dead man. Over it was leaning the ANdtch doctor. He was opening up the body, and was searching for witches. I looked for a moment, and looked away again, and yet I felt that I must look. In a few moments the witch doctor was glad, and declared to those who were around him that he had fomid four witches in the intestines of the i^oor man. Such is their belief. In a village near to our own house, I have seen the poison ordeal administered to a poor slave woman because her husband was dead. It was an awful sight, not only to see the one that had taken the poison, but also to behold the four or five others tied up who had to go through the same ordeal. Our hearts are pained as we witness such sights as these — and worse tlian these. I could multiply cases, but our time is so brief. Let me say this, that the worst case of all was that of a man who died of small-pox, and after eight days in the grave his body was unearthed by two poor miserable wretches and eaten. Such are the things we see in Central Africa, on the Congo Eiver, in this nineteenth century — this enlightened age. Oh, how deei? is that pit into which we have to go ! Carey first entered it, but its depths have not yet been fathomed ; its darkest places have not yet been lit up by the Gospel. We are entering upon a fresh century. We cannot rest, we must go forward. Yoii who hold the ropes at home, lengthen the cords, and let us go into the dark places of the earth, and let us carry with us the Name that is above every name. Wliat are we doing in that land ? What liave we been doing at Bopoto? In the eighteen montlis that I have been there we have 23* ?)')C> THE f'KXTEXARY CELEBRATION. started a school, and I heard by the last mail from my friends that the school keeps up grandly, and that they have an average daily attend- ance of fifty boys. We also find encom-agement from the medical work which we are able to do. And then we have our ser^'ices. You must remember that in these distant stations we have no helj)S with regard to the language. When we went there we kncAv not a word of their tongue ; but with the aid of the few words we had learnt of the Kibangi language, which to some extent is used all along the river, we were able to communicate with the people even in the earliest days. We have been working at the language for eighteen months. We have gathered a vocabidary of several thousand words, and Ave have also quite a number of grammar notes in our possession. These are the things we are doing. But, friends, Avhen Ave think of the fearful odds, Avhen Ave think of ourselves in the midst of such a people, Avhat are Ave ? We Avant more men. You have sent us out a new steamer, the GoodiviU. I saw many hundred jDarts of the steamer as it Avas on its journey up the country Avhen I was coming doAvn. Dear friends, by sending us that steamer you pledged yourselves to extend your Avork in Africa. Think of the great Eiver Mobangi explored by our friend Mr. Gren- f ell I The country is thickly populated, and, ere long, Ave shall have the Jesuits entering upon it. Already they are at the confluence, and there is not a single mission station upon that river beyond. It is our hope to be able to ascend it, and I think our friend Mr. Darby is hoping to establish a station there. Dear friends, help us in this. We know full Avell that we have your sympathy, your offerings, and your prayers. God bless every effort that is being put forth. But we Avant more men — young men from this congregation, young men from our colleges. We Avould say to them: AA^hen are you coming ? We are Avaiting for jou, There is AVork to be done. Come " for the sake of the Name," I cannot refrain, at this Centenary meeting, from mentioning the name of one Avho has been dear to every Congo missionary — it is the name of Mrs. Hartland. She is worthy to be remembered by us — a missionary mother. We want more such missionary mothers, Avho are ready to give up their only son. We thank God for such a missionary mother ! When her OAvn beloved son laid down his life in the land, she adopted us all as her OAvn sons. Methinks there is great joy in heaven to-night as the angels, and as the saints who have gone before, are hymning their songs before the throne. Mrs. Hartland surely is there, those who have laid doAvn their lives upon the field during the past century are there praising God. " Oh, that with yonder sacred ihrong We at His feet may fall, Join in the everlasting song, And croAVTi Him Lord of all." THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 857 The last speaker was THE KEY. J. G. GREEKHOUGH, M.A., of Leicester, recently returned as deputation to the West Indies, who said : — It is my happy privilege to speak about a field where we have had, perhaps, our most complete success ; not of fields like India, China, and Africa, where the Gospel, with all its wonderful doings, has only gathered scanty fruits, and the great harvest of souls still drops perishing for want of reapers. My story is of a field where the Lord hits gathered the most rich harvest safely into His garner, and our success there has been so complete indeed that we have practically, with the exception of Trinidad, withdrawn from it- - so complete that instead of requiring missionaries, it sends out missionaries into the adjacent lands which are still lying in darkness, and I was going to say so complete that it is very rarely Ijrought before you now, and you are almost in danger of forgetting it. But I implore yon not to be guilty of such ingratitude. We cannot afford to close a som-ce of inspiration like this. Our Society ought to say, " If I forget thee, O Jamaica, let my right hand forget its cunning, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth." For there has been no finer bit of work in the hundred years done either by our Society, or, I think I may say, by any other society, than that Avhich God has done for us in Jamaica, and the Bahama Islands. Whether we regard it in view of the quality of the men who were first entrusted Avith the Society's message, or the coiu-age, energy, and martyr- Uke spirit with Avhich they carried on their work ; or the suffering, persecutions, and steadfast endurance of their converts, or the rapidity with which results were gained, or the stable and enduring character of those results, it was a croA\Tiing act of the grace of God for which we can never be sufficiently thankful, and of which Ave ought never to lose the inspiring memories. I talked Avith two or three very old men, still surviving, who remembered Mr. Brown very well. They had been slaves, and had whips in their houses which had once drawn blood from their backs, and they told m(! again the story of those bad, cruel old times learnt pai-tly from their fathers, when they hud no Gospel hght, and no light at all, n<5 religion save the relics of African superstition ; when they had no notion of honesty, of truthfulness, or chastity ; wlien their women were wives Avdthout Avedlock, and their mothers bore children which they could hardly call their o'^\^l ; when they had no self-rcispect, because no one had taught them to think of themselves as men, and life was all sad and weary, and in the evening time they dreaded the coming morning, and in the morning Ihey said, "Would God 358 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. that it were evening I " Nay, when they had no God to cry to, but were without God and without hope in the world. And then the niissionaiy came, the fii'st white man who had ever shown them any pity, any solicitude or love, the first who had ever treated them as men and brothers, and he grieved over their wi-ongs and shared their sorrows and pitied their darkness, and drew them with the cords of love, even the bands of a man, and he told them of the Heavenly Father to whom the black and the white children were equally dear, and of the Saviour who became the servant of servants, that He might break the bonds of the slave and let the opi^ressed go free, and of a Gospel which proclaimed redemption and hope and healing and dignity to all. It was a wonderful message, and the face of him who brought it was as the face of an angel. They crowded to the message in spite of all penalties ; they received the Word greedily, eagerly, with much affection, but with joy of the Holy Ghost. And then there were glad days of Pentecost and a Avonderful change, and in a very few years a new nation was born — the Jamaica of to-day. It is that Jamaica that I have seen, the loveliest of all islands, with its green hills and valleys, and its streams and water- brooks and waterfalls, gorgeous with the luxuriance of tropical flowers, rich with perpetual fruit-bearing, its nights glorious with golden stars and fire-flies, and its shores girded with the loveliest of crystal seas Ideating gently upon their coral strand. I never hope to see anything so beautiful again until I reach the land which is beyond the river. And yet the loveliest feature of all is the religious hfe of these people. You see what the Gospel has done there, evei-ywhere, the Gospel, and only the Gospel — not British rule, not even the enfranchisement of the slaves ; for there are other islands in the West Indies — Cuba, San Domingo — peopled by the same African race, men who were slaves once and now are free, who have had the advantages of civilisation, who have the saiue climate, the same lovely surroundings, the same wealth and productiveness, but the Eomish priest rules there, and the sound of the Gospel is almost unheard ; and there you find dnt, indolence, apathy, dreary superstition, vice, criminal violence, disregard of human life, smouldering rebellion, discontent, misery : while in Jamaica you see jieace, contentment, a fair measiu'e of prosperity, happy homes, families united in Jesus, quiet Sabbaths, a sanctuary adorning every hill, smiling in every valley, and crowds of joyous worshippers answering the Sabbath bells ; an island more religious than our own, with a vastly larger proportion of the pojiulation regular worshippers ; and there one meets at every turn with indications of the wide-spread religious faith and sentiment. Instead of those silly music-hall ditties with which our ears are distressingly familiar, one hears there everywhere some sweet hymn of Sankey's, oi' some sweeter iiegro melody unknowTi to us, but always of the sacl'ed sort. The blacks who manned our little schooners as We THE MEETINGS IX LONDON. 859". sailed uiuougst tlio islands were all religious, aud they gathered uiJOii our decks iu the evening time to hold their little religious sei-vice, to sing their- sweet hymns. The crew of the pilot-boat, floating by our side as we sailed up to Kingston Harbour, were singing sweet sacred melodies on the way. Many a time as we lay in bed at night iu Jamaica, there came snatches of song through the open windows, from the suiTounding hills and valleys — and they were always religious songs — and many and many a time did we hear the negroes singing in the fields as they cut the sugar-canes or planted their yams ; and they were always songs of faith or of the happy life beyond. Oh, my friends, our Society, looking upon its work here, could indeed use the exultant language of the Apostle, when he said, " Thanks be unto God, which doth always carry us along in triumph, and maketh the savour of His knowledge to be spread abroad through all places." I have seen things out there which I can never forget. I have been among those people, and in contact and commvmion Avith their earnest, simple, devout, religious life, and it has sweetened my own temper, it has emichod my OAvn spiritual life ; at least if it has not, I doubt whether God can use any means that will be effective. They talk about the natural inferiority of the negi'o race. I have seen these black Christians of Jamaica and the Bahamas to(j, and I testify with all confidence that they are in all respects, except the matter of book knowledge, equal to the avei'age of our church members at home, and in some respects I think they would make us a little ashamed of ourselves. They are more religious ; their religion is dearer to them, it occupies a larger space in their thoughts. They love the house of God far better ; they love worshi^j and the hearing of God's Word more ; they sing with a great deal more fervour- ; they pray, oh, so beautifully ! Many a time as I heard them the tears came into my eyes, tears of deep feeHng and of joy ; and their gladness in the Lord is something wonderful. They seem to have simlight always on their faces. How refreshing it Avas to see the light in their eyes as I talked to them about the dear name of Jesus and the happy life, and to hear them sing their songs about Him who had come to break their bonds, and wash them from their sins, and make them happy all the day. Their joy infects you, you cannot help it. It is a siumy gladness that shines upon your spleen and vapours, and slowly melts them away. AVhy, I had not a fit of depression for three months after I left, though, alas, those fits have come upon me again, because since then I have seen so many doleful Clu-istians. I Avish we could send all the querulous and croaking members of our churches to Jamaica. I do not mean to stay there ; I have far too much considera- tion for the negioos, but just to take a daily bath for a month in the simple, gl.'id, rehgious life of these people ; and then, Avell— they might be taken up into glory at the end of the month. They Avould be in a 360 THE CENTENAilY CELEBRATION'. beautiful state of preparation, and our churches would try to resign themselves to the loss. These people are wonderfully thankful to God, to the Lord Jesus, and thankful to this Society, too, for all it has done for them. Many and many a time did the lads and men in Jamaica carry our heavy portman- teaus on their heads in the scorching sun live or six miles up steep hill sides, and when we wanted to pay them for it they refused indignantly, and said, No, they were glad to do it for the Society which had done so much for them. And when we were sailing about the islands, dependent for oui" food upon the provisions which we could get there, the people came with all manner of things — fruits, vegetables, eggs, fowls, — and laid them at our feet, and very often they would not have a penny for it ; no, it was for the Society. Oh, how those simple-minded black women in the Bahamas hugged and embraced us I After every little religious service they did all but kiss us, and they would have done that but we cUd not give them any encouragement. I was rather glad at times that my wife was not there to see. I need not tell you it was not any attractive power or beauty of ours, because they embraced me just as affectionately as my colleague, and he is ever so much younger and a great deal handsomer. No, no ; it was their simple way of showing their love to the Society which had sent them the Gospel, and we suffered those embraces as your representatives. They have very long memories for favours received. There is an Episcopal Church in Jamaica of the highest ritualistic order, doing its best to Avean the hearts of our people away, and always in vain, for they remember there that fifty years ago this Church, alas, was on the side of the slave-holders, Avhile the Baptist missionaries defended the poor blacks ; and in virtue of that memory, even to-day in many a place, the Baptist chapel is crowded to the doors, and the Episcopal chm-ch is not. They are real Baptists there, I can assure you. They have no baptisteries half hidden away in the background in some dax'k comer of the church, and never opened except on the week evening, Avhen there are very few people present — they are too orthodox for that. They baptize after the Eastern fashion, in rivers and quiet pools, and in the glorious sea,, on the Sabbatli afternoon, and in sight of rejoicing thousands. Why, the sight of a baptism was worth a hiuidred sermons on the subject preached by myself, or even by the more learned divines behind me. They are most staunch and true to the Baptist denomination. Some- times they a little overdo it. I talked often to one grand old negro deacon who had been a slave. He was always glorifying the Baptists, and speaking rather depreciatingly of other Christian bodies. I said to him one day, " You remind me of a good Baptist brother in Yorkshire, who prayed at a prayer meetingj and he said, * O Lord, we are not THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 361 getting on very well in our cliurcli, but we piaise Thee that the Inde- jjendonts are not getting on any Ijetter, and the Wesleyans are a great deal worse.' " The good old deacon rlid not see the point at all. He grasped my hands with effusive admiration, and he said. " Oh, him good man. Him good brother ; good Baptist that I " These people are staxnieh and true to our denomination at the very least. Talk about want of staying power in negro Christians, let nobody ever talk to me in that way after what I have seen. Their missionary meet- ings extend over a week or a fortnight in the same district, and the people walk miles and miles froiu one chapel to another, crowding each sanctuary and filling it with the most genuine and glad fervour. I remember one missionary meeting. There were more than a thousand people present. The chapel was crowded to the very doors, and there were hundreds outside listening at the open doors and -windows. I told them a simple story which I believe Mark Guy Pearse tells about him- self. It was this. When I was a boy, he said, I was determined to go for a sailor, and I went. T came home after the first voyage and landed in London. There, like a foolish lad, I spent all the money I had excei)t just enough to pay my ship passage to my western home. I was two days on board and had nothing to eat, and then, desperately, hungry, I asked the steward to bring me a good square meal, and I did justice to it and then told him I had not any money to pay for it. He looked at me in the most angry way and said, "Who are you? where do you come from? what is your name?" I told him, and then his face beamed suddenly, and he took my hand and said, " I am so glad to meet you, my boy. Do you know your father came to me and my mother long years ago when we were in debt and the furniture was going to be taken and the home broken up, and he paid our debts and set us free ; and he told me then that he had done me a kindness, and I was to pass it on to someone else whenever I had opportunity ; and now, my boy, I i)ass it on to you,'' and he paid for the meal and gave me money to take me home. A few days after that I was at a railway- station, and saw a boy weeping. He wanted to go and see his mother, who was lying ill, and he had not enough to jjay the fare. I bought him a ticket, and told him the steward's story, and said, "Now you pass it on to someone else," and the boy smiled his thanks. Just as the train was leaving h(; put his head out of the compai-tment and said, " I will remember. I will be sure to pass it on." I told the negioes that story, and then I questioned them, as was our custom, and said, " Now, has not Jesus done a great many kindnesses to you?" and one and another voice said, "Yes, minister." " Has not Jesus bought you A\-ith His blood, and set you free, and made you hapjiy all the day?" and a chorus of voices answered, "Yes, minister." "Well, then, will you not help to pass it on?" and slowly the whole thousand of those within the chapel, and those outside, took 362, THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. up the cry, and they said, " Pass it on to China and India, and to dear Africa." And I shall never forget that scene. Do you wonder that I fell in love with these people ? Do you wonder that seeing them has made me believe more in missions, for I have not been telling merely a story of the past, but a prophecy of the future. How can one help turning from Jamaica Avith his thoughts big with hope of splendid possibilities to that Congo region — where millions of exactly the same sort of people, in spite of their degradation, are waiting for the same Gospel to change them into the same sort of Christian men and women ? And may I not say to you as I said to those negroes, and will you not answer as those negroes answered, " Oh, ^jass it on I " The Benediction was pronounced and the meeting closed. THE MEETINa.S IX LONDUX. oijo THE PUBLIC BREAKFAST took place in the large room in Exeter Hall tlie next morning,, "Wednesday, the 5th, at nine o'clock, with MR. GEORGE WILLIAMS in the chair. Mr. Bavxes announced that he had received over fifty letters from gentlemen belonging to other denominations, expressing regret at their inability to be present at the meeting, and earnestly praying that these services might be memorable in the history of the foreign missionary enterprise. Amongst those who had so written were Lord Harrowby, Lord Kinnaird, Sir George Chubb, Sir T. FowcU Buxton, Mr/ Quintin Hogg, Mr. B. Wood Smith, Mr. Howard, M.P., Mr. Cozens Hardy, M.P., Q.C., Mr. John Barran, M.P., Mr. Donald ^latheson, Mr. E. Tritton, M.P., Mr. David ]\Iaclaren, Sir Charles Watlien, ]\Ir. J. Cory, Mr. S. Hoare, M.P., Mr. Henry Lee, and Mr. S. Smith, M.P. The Treasurer, Mr. W. R. Rickktt, referring to the condition of the Centenary Thanksgiving Fund, said : — Mr. Cliairuuiu aud Christian Friends, — It is meet and right that we should give thanks ou this occasion, for the Lord hath done great things for us whereof we are glad. We come together this morning in order that we may render unto Him our thanksgiving from our hearts and from our pockets too. And though we have great cause for thanks- giving, we have but little cause for self- congratulation. God has been very gracious to us in enabling us to cany out our work cluiing the past century. It has been canied out by us with luuch feebleness and failui-e, and even sin. May the good Lord forgive all this, and sanctify to us the past, that in the century upon which we are now entering wc may go forth witli more diligence, earnestness, and power than in the century whic^h h;is just closed upon us. I have now a stiitcment to make in relation to the progress of our Centonaiy Fimd. As you are aware, wc have resolved to raise a thanksgiving fund of ilOO.OOO, and to increase the ordinary income of the Society to £100, 000. We are thankful to say that we arc within a measurable distance of accomjj- 364 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. listing the former. To-day, including collections wliicli were made on Sunday last, as far as we can estimate, we have raised £92,-500, and we are profoundly grateful to the friends who have rallied round and helped us to accomplish that. Out of that sum about £12,000 has come from the tSunday-schools. I wish to thank our young friends, who will be those who are to carry on the work of the Society in the days to come. We are looking forward to a wave that shall land us safely at our £100,000 this week, and this morning I ask you, in the Name which is above every name, to come and assist this effort. Many of you who are here, probably, have as yet not given your contribution. We ask you to do so, remembering that He who was rich for our sakes became poor, that we, through His poverty, might be rich. You have already heard from various speakers the condition of the heathen world. There are at the present time over (SOO millions of people wh(j have never heard the name of Jesus Christ. We ask you then to consider this, and to let your gifts flow from a heart charged with love to the Saviour who has redeemed you. THE CHAIRMAX. My dear Friends, — It is right and proper that the Baptist Missionary Society should recognise an institution that I have the great pleasure to represent here to-day, the Young Men's Christian Association. Now, if that Association is anything at all, it is an advance guard of the Christian Church, an advance anny to reach the young men outside of the Church, and to bring them into the Church, and encourage them to devote them- selves to the Lord's work. If it does not do that, it fails in the object for which it came into existence ; but we are thankful to know since its origination that it has done that, and I trust it will do so even more in the days to come than in the days past. Some of our beloved members are now in the mission-field, and I am not sure that your excellent treasurer here was not once one of our members — I think I can claim him as an old member of the Young Men's Christian Association— and I trust he will continue long to rally the forces in order that you may have plenty of means to extend this most blessed work. I rejoice with you in the work of the past. Oh, what a past history you have had, beloved friends I Who can conteiuplate the past history of the Baptist Missionaiy Society without fervent gratitude and joy ? Then, for the present, here you are with an amount which is most cheering, and I should be delighted if it could be made up this morning to £100,000. I should be glad if this grand breakfast meeting should in God's good mercy relieve the friends of this Society, and give them what they want, that they may turn their attention to the annual subscriptions. The raising of these annual subscriptions, I am told, is a matter of very great importance, because of the calls that come to tlu' Committee from THE MERTIXOS IN r.OXDOX. 30:) various p.arts of tlio world, tlio loud and constant claims for more mis- sionaries, and, therefore, I think that it is highly important for ministers of the Church of Christ to sec how to increase systematic giving. Then it is equally important that we should give upon principle, and not from emotion. If we could get a system of teaching in our Sunday-schools that every little boy ought to give a tenth, and every little girl ought to give a tenth, they would grow up in the feeling that they must always give a tenth to the cause of Christ, and if they did that, what an immense income you would have ! I am told that the working classes are five to one of the trading and upper classes. Well now, if the woiking classes are going to gov(>m us, and are to be oui' masters in the future, we must then get them to give, we must show them their responsibility — it is a penny a week that is going to do this business. How remarkable it is that the children connected with the Simday School ITnion, by their giving a halfpenny a yeai-, support a missionary in India, a secretary mis- sionary to found Sunday-schools throughout India. But some indivi- duals ought to give half of tlieir income, soiue a quarter, some three- quarters, and some all, or nearly all. I am quite sure, however, that the next gi-eat effort must be made to reach the pocket. It is all very well for a man to be comfortable, and happy, and rejoice in all the good things that God gives him ; but let him show his love by what he does, by what he gives, by consecration of his life and property to the cause of Christ, and I am sure we shall never do very much imtil some very serious effort is made to reach the pockets of the people throughout the country. What is wanted in the cause of Christ is the means of sending forth missionaries. I believe that hundreds and thousands of men, and ladies also, will be raised up and made ready to go forth — numbers will bo ready. Now we are verj' hapjay to know that the ladies are coming to the front. It is the dispensation for our beloved sisters of the next hundred years. Mr. Spicer told us yesterday on this j)latform that in the London Missionary Society they had introduced ladies on the Committee, that there were ladies now deliberating with the men, and that is something like an example for the Baptist Missionary Society. At any rate, the ladies must take up this question. People say that you can never refuse a lady, and if they set to, and make up theii- minds, why should not the income of the Baptist Missionary Society be very considerably increased ? Now I rejoice in all yoiir bright hopes and prospects for the future. What is this Centenary going to do for missionaries ? Wliat will it accomplish ? Think of what has been accomplished dming the last one hundred years : this week begins the second centenary of missions ! Think also of the next hundred years, of the next centenary. Wliat will India be then ? What China ? What Africa then ? Will Africa be covered 366 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. all over witli railways ? Will slavery be aljolislied ? Will there be hun- dreds and thousands and millions of Christians in Africa this day one hundred years ? Why not ? Certainly it should be, and God grant that it may. I rejoice in the prospect of this new centenary, these starting points. We seem to have come into a level. Now let us gird ourselves for the work of this new centenary. We thank God that there is such an excellent institution as this great Baptist Missionary Society, and thank God that you have such a secretary as you have. Then there is your venerable ex-secretary, and then you have a Young Men's Missionary Association ti-easurer. That means going ahead, it means increase, it means, with God's blessing, that yon are going to help in this work. I am told that you had 300 Baptist churches one hundred years ago, and that you now have 3,000. At that time I sup- pose they were very weak and feeble, but how they have grown in importance and wealth and station, and I only trust that they will multiply and increase very exceedingly during the next himdred years. I am thankful to have been here to have given expi-ession to these few words. But I am sure that you ought to discover some way of getting people to give upon principle instead of giving luider the influence of im- pulse. I believe that every minister ought to preach once a year on systematic and proportionate giving. If the minister would only take that principle into the pulpit they would get so much more, and it would be a very good thing for themselves. And then I think there ought to be lectures on systematic giving. At any rate, the next thing to be done is to convert the pockets of the peoj)le. Pamphlets, all sorts of literature, ought to be written on this duty of Christians, because what does it mean ? We are all true believers, our fortunes are made, everything is there. A well-known man said, "All the Bank of England, and all Cheapside, and Lombard Street belong to me, only I have not the trouble of keeping the parchments." And all things are yoiu-s, ye are Christ's, and Christ's is God's. Now the one business of our lives is to extend the Kingdom of God in the world ; everything should be made subservient and to contribute to that great end. Before the Chairman called upon the first speaker announced on the agenda, Mr. Baynes rose and said : — I want to interpose for one moment, and in doing so I am quite well aware that I shall incur the displeasure of my commanding officer ; but I think it right to say — and I say it with a devout thankfulness— that we have a treasurer who always backs up his appeals by his gifts, and I think it due to Mr. Eickett to say that, not-withstanding his splendid con- tribution of five thousand guineas to the Centenary Fund, he has handed me a further cheque for 1,000 guineas. I know very well that Mr. Eickett will be displeased with me, but I stand here on behalf of this THE :\rEKTmrrR rx Loxnox. 367 Society, and I feel that wo have to thank God for a treasurer who does consecrate his wealth to the highest and noblest service. I want you all to go and do likewise. I hope you will make up your minds to do something worthy of this splendid opportunity. Some of us have given already, but now let us give again. This is the hundredth anniversary of this Society, and nnno hero will live to see another centenary. May God touch our hearts that we may consecrate this occasion by giving of what He has given us. THE REV. R. n. LOYELL, of Bromley, then addressed the meeting. He said : — Mr. Chairman, Ladies, and Gentlemen, — Although a stranger to most in this assembly, I will ask you to allow me to waste no time in an apology ; for the blessing of a speech, and certainly its brightness, is in its brevity. I think it is Dr. Fairbairn who has said that we know the character of Christ better in this century than it was known in the first. This Centenary Commemoration is bringing to light the character of Carey, by no means even yet fully known or appreciated even in the Church, much less in th(3 world. But Carey was never so much alive as ho is to-day ; never before was his life-purpose so active ; and the beauty of it is, that not only is Carey more alive than ho ever was — he has reproduced himself, and his life manifests itself to-day in every church and every continent, in an ever-widening family of missionary saints and heroes. It is truer of Carey than of any worker of the century that ho is one of the " immortal dead who live again in minds made better by their jn-esence ; live in deeds of daring rectitude, in sconi for miserable aims that end with self ; in thoughts sublime that pierce the night like stars, and with theii- mild iioi-sistence urge man's search to vaster issues." I rejoice in this Centenary for its rediscovery of the nobility of the real William Carey. I hold that the missionaiy work has given the Church her noblest development of Christ-like life and character. Theodore Parker was no special admirer of evangelism, yet he said that if the modem missionary enterprise had done no more than produce one such character as Dr. Judson, it would be worth more than all the money which had been spent on it. Carey was amongst the first in the Chiu'cli to really imderstand what Christ means by the word world. Many do not understand tliat yet. Many an English religious teacher only knows the meaning of the word "parish"; others, the meaning of the woi'd "chapel"; some, the meaning of that smallest word, " self." Carey felt the meaning of the word "world." Ho wasn't one of those clever, intellectual mice whose delight is to nibble at the fringe of gi'oat questions, and waste a life in 368 THE CEXTENARY CELEBRATION. discussing difficultins and details. Cai'oy felt that word " world." Have we all noted that word in its significance on Christ's lips — " God so loved the world " ; " Go ye into all the Avorld " ; "I am the Hght of the world " ; " The field is the world " ; " The Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world " ? " That the world through Him might be saved " ; " The bread of God is He that gave His life for the world " ; " I came not to judge, but save, the world " ; " My flesh which I gave for the life of the world." That world idea on the lips of a Jewish teacher — an idea touching the world's brotherhood, solidarity, unity, and ideal — is the very essence of the genius, spirit, and glory of the Gospel. It saturated the writing and mind of Paul and John, and in my judg- ment made Carey and his colleagues what they were — that is, the noblest types of Christian life, the reproduction of Christ Himself ; not imitations of imitations, but the reproduction of the great original. I hold that it is the unique revival in the whole Church of this woi'ld idea which is the feature and glory of the Church of this century. Without for a moment seeking to disparage any class of workers- may a contrast be permitted between the special workers of our tiuae. All work is reflexive in its action. It individualises, trains, moulds, stamps the worker. Our century has created such special workers as the great civil engineers, the railway men, thoughtfid, patient, scientific experts, delicate workers in photography, sj)octroscopy, analytic chemistry, micro- scopy, journalists, and special correspondents, and others ; men and women who have often done splendid, abiding, and Christlike work. But when I compare these workers, and give them largest credit and honour, with the missionaries of the century (men and women), the pioneers of civilisation among cannibal and savage — the men and Avomen who have outdone the Pentecostal Miracle in translating the Bible into 200 tongues (tongues, they were stammerings that the missionaries had to make tongues ! ) — • when I think of their early days of self-denial, their loneliness, their fortitude, their unselfishness, persistence, heroism, gentleness, unstained lives in the midst of grossest animalism — when I think of Schwartz, at Tangore, the spiritual father of India; of Hans Egede, alone fighting the small-j)ox as it almost swept off the population of Greenland ; of Carey's heroic patience ; and Morrison's work in the cellar ; of the Moravians chained to slave gangs in the West Indies, or with their own hands digging the grave of lepers ; of Mary Moffat cheering her grand husband in fruitless years, by writing when asked what present she wished for the Mission : " send us out a Communion Service, for though we as yet have no convert, we shall soon want it " — when I think of the Universities Mission, with men like Hannington and Mackay ; of the eleven consecrated men of the London Missionary Society, whose bodies sleep in Christ in Central Africa ; of that noble family of the Combers and their sacrifice of life on the Congo ; of that romance so apostolic, and, THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 369 as tho Spcrtatur says, so much more wonderful than the liction of RoLiusoii Crusoe, the work of James Gilmoui- in Mongolia — I say when I ponder these manifestations of character and sei"vice, then I know Christ lives ; then I know the Gospel is Divine ; then I get my largest vision of the s^jlendour of the Christian life — and I feel that to look up to these men and women, to touch their hand, to heai- their message, to help them, to pray for tliem, is at once my life's grandest i>rivilege, deepest joy, and most glorious opportunity. So I agrei; with Theodore Parker, the noblest Christian life is seen in the missionary eutei'prise. For, as a German thinker says, "No man has a right to all his rights." The measure in which he gives up his rights, for a noble motive, is tho measure of tlie man's nobility. The measure in which he insists on keeping his rights is the lueasiire of the man's degradation. Now, because the missionary has given up his rights for the noblest UKjtive more largely than any man, I hold the missionary to be the fullest reproduction of the Christ-like chai'acter. But this thought may be carried wider yet, for all the noblest ideals in life wait ou luissiouary enteri^rise. Nature waits to receive her ideal in a reigning, present Christ. Water is the great need of the NeW Hebrides, and when Mr. Paton dug a well and found fresh water in it, " Here is a wonder," said the savages ; " here is a man Avho makes tho rain come up out of tho earth," The measure in which Nature rules man is man's degradation. The measure in which man rules Nature is man's oiviUsation. The merchant's civilisation is money. The Christiaii's is mastery, and mastery in Christ. Nature waits for her ideal, the Creation yearns for the manifestation of the sons of God. When Paul conceived of love as a rectangular figure with four dimensions, he put breadth as the fii-st dimension, and it is the only one of the four to which he put tho Greek article (depth is the last, because I suppose we shall never know love's depth until we look uijon it from above). Now that idea of Paul's that breadth is the first of love's dimensions is treated with much sugges- tiveness by T. G. Selby. The Church never will see her largest beauty, or know her fullest joy, luitil she is a broader fellowship, until all tho family of Nature, with all their sei)arate features and i)owers, sit at their Father's table and become one family, and mutually instruct each other. One man is no man ; one note is no music ; one blade of grass is no meadow ; and one swallow makes no sunnner. All perfect beauty depends on wider fellowships and corporate association. I went one afternoon to find inspiration for a missionary s< rmnn iliiwu a lane at Chislehurst. Under the soft yellow of young oak leaves a forest of blue-bells gemmed the living green like sapphires ; not one solitary song, but a whole clujrus of interfused joy sounded in every leafy cathedral. The shadows were playing hide-and-seek around the old tree trunks. The blue of hoaveu, silvered with clouds of silken white o70 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. softness, laughed tlirougli every leaf opening ; lia^jpy children were knee dee]3 in the cool gi'ass, trymg their fortunes with buttercups, as mirrors for their dimpled faces. Now each feature in the landscape lent its loveliness to each little object present — present as a unity — the very shadows not the least important part of the beauty. So the full Chris- tian beauty will never be seen until the whole landscape of the nations are a unity in Christ. The full Christian song and music will never be heard until each nation joins in the orchestra. There's yet a develop- ment of Christian music in the African to touch the heart of the Church. The full joy of the glorified can only come from this wider unity. Abraham, said Christ, rejoiced to see Christ's day. The martyrs will Wear a more radiant joy when no longer have they to ask, " Lord, how long':'" I hold that missionary work will react with splendid results on nature, on society, on art, on the Church, on Christian life, on the glorified spirits themselves ; nay, God Himself waits for the completion of the family. For He has prepared some better tiling that they without us may not be made perfect. Have we touched yet the measure of the effort and sacrifice this work demands f Are you going to rest after this Centenary effort ? If you rest, vice won't, ignorance won't, drunkenness and darkness won't, death won't. It is said that when the Guards were being struck down with I'ound shot at Alma, someone asked Sir Colin Camijbell if they had not better lie down, and that that true soldier replied, better that every man fell than that the English Guards should so stain their past by such conduct. Will you smile at inc if I ask. Would it not be better to sell the luxuries out of our homes, and even churches, even the communion vessels of value and use common ones, rather than let this missionary work stand still ? I believe when we more fully appreciate Carey's oharacter a new spirit of real sacrifice will come upon the whole Church. We have not yet touched the measure of adequate effort. Have we any kind of doubt that (jur work must and will succeed 'f Are Wo at all uncertain '^ Aren't we quite sure of the harvest, both for quaHty and quantity 'f I have in my garden a dark-stemmed, crooked- limbed apple tree. All the long winter in its barrenness and angularity it looked as if it had rheumatism in every limb. Since March love has been trying to make it a thing of beauty ; little rosy buds have tried to brighten its ugliness. But frost and cold, and night and wind fought long for the mastery. Often it seemed as if poor gentle love would give up and fail. Then came a day when the tree put on her queenly robes of royal velvet texture of rose-pink blossoiu, that even Solomon in his glory would look shabby beside it. It was a message from heaven of purity and loveliness. Then came loss, loss, loss ! and almost winter days. But yesterday — oh, it was a time !

Oppositions, sins, crime, ignorance ; these are the Avinter storms that fight love. But the summer is coming ; the blossom is ah-eady gloiious, and the fruit setting. Instead of the briar shall come up the myrtle, and the AN-ilder- ness shall blossom as the rose, " and it shall be to the Lord for a sign and for an everlasting remembrance that shall not be cut oflF." Have yovi any doubt about the harvest ? A few years ago a Bible was found floating in a bay in Jai)an, and the finder went to America to learn its meaning. In 1872 the first church of (eleven members was formed, now there are 22,000 members. In l!S4() there were six known converts in China, now there are 34,000. In 1792 Cornwallis held Tippo Saib's sons as hostages for peace in India. In 1«92 there are 250,000 Christian converts — hostages for a nobler peace. Western Polynesia has 750,000 convei-ts, and the Wesleyans alone 30,000 members in South Africa. Now I understand you hnve struck a Centenary medal. The work I refeiTed to as done has been chiefly done the last forty years. Diocletian, who reigned from 284 to 305 A.D., about 250 years after Christ's death, had a medal struck ; it exists, I'm told, still. He had two monuments raised, and these were the inscriptions: "Diocletian has everywhere aboHshed the superstition of Christ. The name of Christ being by him extinguished." So that 250 years after Christ and Paul, and John and the Martyrs, Diocletian could say that Christianity was a failure. But somehow it lives still, and not only lives, but its most splendid growth is in the work of the centuiy over Avhich you have struck your medal. "Why do the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth take counsel against the Lord and His anointed. Yet I have set my King on Zion." " Ask of Me, and I will give Him the heathen for Hig inheritance, and the uttermost jjart of the earth for His possession." I am sure most of us who take any interest in missions have been helped by that black diagi'am, in which, by means of little squares, the relative proportions of Christianity and heathenism are put before our imagination. May I be allowed to say that I have found it a constant inspiration to me to put that diagi-am on my hand 'f The diagram repre- sents 1,500 millions of people. Now, if you tiy to make yom- hand a square, by just bringing the lines across the fingers' level, then you will find this fairly true. Up to the fii-st line on the hand is the Protestant population ; up to the second line is the Greek and Eoman Catholic ; up to the third line the Mohammedan ; and the rest, from the fingers up to the wi-ist lino, is the heathen. And the scale for the whole hand will be this, the square of the littk finger-nail will represent 12,000,000 of people. May I ask you to put the diagram on your hand, and when you put yuur hands together, and pray, " Thy Kingdom come," think of 2i* o72 THE CEl^TENARY CELEBKATIOlSr. the diagram ; and when you put your baud iuto yoiu- pocket, think of the diagram; and when you put your hand, in tmst, and love, and joy, into the pierced hand, think of the diagram. MR. HUGH M. MATHESON, Convener of the Foreign Missions Committee of the Presbyterian Church in England, next spoke : — Mr. Williams and Christian Friends,— I can hardly describe the sense of unwortliiness that I felt when I was asked to take part in this remark- able meeting ; but there is one comfort, that I come in some sense as a representative of the missions of the Presbyterian Churches throughout the world, and in their name I venture, and I think without much pre- sumption, to felicitate you upon this remarkable Centenary celebration. I cannot forget that the remarkable man, of whom we are hearuig so much just now, lived to see and to rejoice in the beginnings of the work of Alexander Duff in India, and Carey's remarkable approval, after a unique experience, of the methods which were adopted by Dirff, was a great satisfaction to my illustrious cotuitryman. It was my own singular privilege to have intimate friendship with Dr. Duff, and, although we are j ust now commemorating a centenary, it was not more than twelve years after the death of Carey that I sat down with Duff and his noble colleagues, sui-rounded by many of their earlier converts, in the mission premises at Calcutta. To have seen with one's own eyes the cradle of British missions in the vast Empire of India is something for which to be thankful ; it is a gratification for a lifetime and a joy from year to year. The reports, too, that come of the i^rogress of Christ's Church in India are matter for profound thankfulness. An enormous amount of prepara- tion work has been done, and I, for one, do not doubt that the view to be taken of our prospects in India is this, that a vast number in that coimtry are only waiting for the awakening of the zeal of our churches and for the breath of the Spii-it of God to rise up a great Christian army. (Some of us here have known about the day of small things, and we know the temptation there is to be discouraged by such a state of things. For instance, when I visited China in 1846 I examined and was instructed by my own Church to examine into the condition of Christian missions in that land, and I found that there Avere only six converts to Protestant missions in the whole of that Empire. But what do we see to-day '' As Mr. Lovell has mentioned, there are now o<5,()00 to 40,(100 in full com- miuiion with the various native churches. But, God be praised, the future of the missionary cause throughout the world is absolutely assured, for it rests upon the promise of God. THE MEETINGS IN T.OXl^ON. H'S Schwartz, and Carey, and Duff, and Moffat, and "William Burns never ontertained a moment's doubt upon this great subj(>ct. A siugidarly shrewd observer from the United States, who lately spent eighteen months in India, Dr. Pentecost, has wi-itten this sentence. "To me the evidences of the coming of the Lord in India are so many and so indis- putable, tluit I am daily more and more amazed, and wonder how any Cliristian can for a moment feel discouragement." Are not China, and Japan, and Afiica, as well as other lands, till lately closed against the Gospel, \'i elding many trophies for the cro^^•n of our Redeemer ? May the I'esult of your Centenary Commemoration be a large stimulus to the peoj-)le in this land to rise to something like a conception of what th(^ gT'eat missionary movement is, and to yielil themselves with some definite sacrifiee to carry on the work of the Lord to wliich He calls us — to give the Gospel to the world ! The Chairmfin tlien called upon THE KEY. J. ir. HIIAKESPEArxE, M.A., of Norwich, who delivered the following address npon " The MoFsage of the Earlj Days of Christianity " : — Mr. Chairman. Ladies, and Gentlemen,- The longing for certainty is a mood of life. We cannot pi'oceed far in any enterprise unless our convictions have gone deep down like roots, and clasped themselves about great vej-ities and facts. The little band of soldiers, hemmed in by savage foes, and far in front of the main army, will not refuse to die if they are sure theirs is not wasted blood, and that the tide of victory will roll over their dead bodies. Now there is a criticism for which we care nothing. We look with contempt upon the man who lounges througli life in a London club, and, in his imutteral)le carelessness, writes down that missions are a failure. We submit that the ti'aveller who hurries through a land which is a continent, and simply counts the converts in a native church, has missed the true nature of the problem. But there are earnest, generous, and thoughtful men who have faltered a little before the storm of ciiticism. The appalling mass of heathenism, the coimtless and increasing myiiads of the he.athen Avorld, the meagre force of missionai'ies which it seems possible to send, and the slow rate of progress in some districts of India have daunted their coui-age. At this rate, they say, the world never will be won. They point out to us that modem missions involve two questions which are really separable. On the one hand, there is the command and the promise of Christ ; and on the othei', there is the \visdom and the value of onr methods. There is a way, no doubt, since there is a predicted goal, but are we in the right way ? In answei-ing this question, we must not throw our advantages 374 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. away. In surveying the past wo must be quite clear what we are looking for, and what wo expect to find. Wo must look for germs, not develop- ments ; for saplings, and not full-grown trees. The century has beeai one of foundations, and foundations are not visible results. Wo study the past, not as antiquaries, but for the sake of the future. I believe that wo may find assurances, not visionary or in the air, but resting on the rock of history. In the writings of the early fathers of the Church, in the scattered fragments of the first ages, we may find that history is repeating itself around us. We may, by a remarkable historic parallel, be assured, not simply of the final triumph of the Kingdom, but also of the triumph of our methods and enterprises. Wo can find no parallel for the work of the last century, and the entrance of the Gospel into new countries, so close as that of the apostolic age. The first hundred years of the Christian era wore fitly closed by the death of the T)eloved disciiile. Wo cannot think too reverently of the days of the Ron of Man upon earth, or of the labours of the great aj)ostles of the Cross. But we must not forgot that there were clouds upon that radiant morn, " The temper which isolates the first age " misses its real instruction and oncoui'agement for us. The known world of that day was comparatively small, being little more than the countries on the shores of the Medi- terranean. Yet it was a heathen world, with its heathen temples, its godless philosophies, and its established, though decaying, religions. The companions of Jesus never dreamt that there was any other way of winning the world to God than of going out themselves to preach the Word everywhere. " How shall they believe," asked the greatest of the apostles, "in Him of whom they have not heard ? And how shall they hear without a preacher ? And how shall they preach except they be sent ? As it is written. How beautiful are the ' feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things I ' ' We cannot trace the travels of the twelve, but wo find Peter in Babylon, Philip in Phrygia, Andrew in Scythia, Thomas in Pai-thia, and John in Ephosus. The restless energy of Pavd carried him to all the groat centres — Antioch, Ephosus, PhiUppi, Athens, and Rome. Then there were the fellow-workers — Mark, Silas, Barnabas, Apollos, Luke, Timothy, and many others whose names are only written in the Lamb's Book of Life. But the groat characteristic of that apostolic age is that Christianity was carried to heathen lands by men who wore not natives of those lands. Every one of these men was a foreign missionary. The gi-eat gift of that first age to the world was the New Testament. The Gospels were written. The Epistles were addressed to churches in heathen cities, and they alone mark the epochs of that early history. Who shall present the report of that first centenary ? Who shaU measure the foimdations of the City of God? Who shall reckon the worth of THE MKETINOS IX LOXnoX. oiO prayer and toil, of tears and blood ? The last thirty years of it are shrouded in silence and darkness. No fragment of litoratui-o from a native convert has come down to us. Churches were formed in all inipoi'tant cities. There were thousands of converts, yet compared Avith the myi-iads around them they were very few. The villages were untouched. There were more heathen at the close than at the beginning of the century. The picture is often dark — divisions and scandals in the Body of Christ, apostles weeping over their converts, decapng churches, lamps lit by inspired men growing dim. Imagine a traveller making a torn' through the Seven Chm-ches of Asia, and the letters he would have sent to the Jerusalem " Chi-istian AYorld." And yet the apostolic ago was absolutely necessary to the futm-e of the Church. We owe to it that the Western world is Christian to-day, and that England is Christian England. Though for a great part of it we can scarcely assign a single detail of its jH-ogi-ess, in spite of almost unrelieved difficulties and dis- couragements, Christianity laid such hold upon the heathen world that nothing could uproot it, and it was fit to enter upon the trouljled era of the second century. The parallel is so close as to be almost startling. The woik has l(>conie vaster as the limits of the known woild have advanced. We have found the " every creature" on the ancient plains of India, in the dim recesses of China, beneath the sombre forests of Africa, and in islands set like gems upon the bosom of the sunlit sea. But the rebirth of Christianity has been marked by the same features as its birth. The modem apostles have gone out from the Jerusalem, which is the mother of us all, to j)reach Christ crucified to guilty men. The great characteristic of the last century is that Christianity has been carried to heathen lands by men who were not themselves natives of those lands. The first gift of the Xew Testament has been repeated in the translation of the Hciiptures into almost every tongue. We ai'e afraid to confess that there have been mistakes, failures, and disappointments ; that the love of many has waxed cold ; that there are more heathen in the world to-day than Avhen Carey first invaded India. Wo cannot point to a gi-eat native Christian literature, or to a native apostolic father of commanding genius. But can any man deny that the results are precisely similar to those of th(^ apostolic age. There are thousands and himdreds of thousands of converts ; the Lord has set before us an open door in every land ; it is far truer to-day than when Paul first wrote the words that the Gospel is "preached to every creature under heaven"; and nothing, no, brethren, notliing, not pei-secution, or nakedness, or sword, not the hatred of the world or the indifference of the Church, or the last con- vulsive struggles of heathenism, can uproot native Christianity as it enters upon the second centuiy of modem missions. When the last of tlie apostles closed his eyes at Ejjhesus, th(> outlook was dark indeed, ~376 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. The leaders of the sub-apostolic age might well tremble as the mantle fell upon them from the men who had "known Christ after the flesh.'' Only a few fragments bridge across the century, for the age of the great literature was not yet— only the " Didache," a vision, some brief letters and apologies. But the great characteristic of that period is this, the work was mainly done by natives themselves. Its great lesson to us is to distingxush between real and visible suc- cess. It rests under a strange obscurit3^ We try to pierce the gloom, and we catch ghmpses of an almost idyllic Christian society, a new brotherhood of masters and servants, a new grace of womanhood, and a new care for the poor and sick. We see the blood of the martyrs shed like water. Ignatius of Antioch led as a spectacle for Christ from city to city, and flung to the lions to make a Eoman holiday. Still we can hear Polycarp reply to his judge, " Eighty-and-six years have I sei-ved Him, and He never did me any wi'ong. How, then, can I blaspheme my King, my Saviour?" Men are speaking to each other of the new faith in palaces, cottages, streets, and lonely places. Justin Martyr, the heathen philosojiher, is met on the sea shore by an old man who directs him to Christ. The people first caricature and then embrace the Gospel. On the walls of a Eoman palace some hand scratched the rude figure of a man with a donkey's head and arms outstretched upon the cross, and beneath a worshipper with uplifted liands, and the inscription, "Alexamenos worsliijjs his God." Men ask for the details of the Church's growth, but they have disai)peared like footprints on the sand washed away by the tide. The Kingdom came not with obsei-vation, but secretly and silently. We cannot trace the sacred fire as it leaps from heart to heart. But the point is this : when the centmy closed the battle was won — heathenism was dead or doojued — Christian ideas had filtei'ed through eveiy grade of society ; in swift succession the men arose who conquered the intellect of the civilised world — Clement of Alexandiia, Tertullian of Carthage, Origen and Cyprian, Athanasius and Augustine. In the words of Dr. Westcott, " the close of the age of the Apologists leaves us in the presence of a vast Christian society, catholic in range and doctiine, formidable in numbers, and illustrious by the genius of its champions." George Eliot wrote to Lady Lytton, " I try to delight in the sunshine that will be, when I shall never see it any more." It was an unreal though pathetic sentiment, but we may rejoice in the glory of that day when our Eedeemer shall draw all men o Himself, On the thi'eshold of another hundred years we strain our eyes into the future. We think of Africa and China with profoimd hopefulness, but I shall not be misunderstood if I apply all this to India. I confess that I oannot think without emotion of the vision Avhich it opens up for India. No doubt the phrase " the romance of missions " is applied to other fields, TTTR MEETINGS IN LONDON,: r.77 No doubt tlio first excitement of a now enterprise lias given place to that hard and monotonous routine which is the testing time of all work and of all character. It has boon said that we forget India ; but if wo forget India, may our right hand forgot its cunning and our tongue cleave to the roof of our mouth. There we have laboured for a century. There the apostolic fathers of the Mission sleep. The names of Soram— pore, Delhi, Calcutta, and Orissa are only less sacred to some of us than the names of Capernaum, Bethany, and Gethsemane. If the promises of God attached to prayer and sacrifice are not vain, unless every external sign deceives, "India for Christ" is not a dream. Can ye not read the signs of the times? "Behold the fig tree and all the trees ; when tliey now shoot forth ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand ; so likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the Kingdom of God is nigh at hand." In that strange and mighty land, the land of various races and of changing faiths, the triumphs of the second century AA-ill be repeated. The time may be delayed by our prayerlessness and becaiise we send out so few heralds of the Cross, or improved means of intercommunication may shorten the time. But the process will be the same ; the creation of a native ministry, native churches scattered in towns and villages, the Christian nurture of childi-en, and the slow filtration of society by Christian ideas. When the third century dawns the battle will be practically won, and men will ask for the details of growth, and lo they shall not be. For Christ is even now nianifested to the intellect and heart of India, The idols ai'e being abolished and the devils of lust and cruelty have felt His presence and cried, " What have we to do with Thee, thou Son of God ? Hast Thou come to torment us before the time ? " The women of India are ready to pour forth their love like ointment upon His feet. The fetters of caste are being broken. Degrading sujierstitions are fighting in their last ditch. The mists of erroi- are lifting before the advancing light of truth. Fragments of Scripture are being scattered every wliere. Men are speaking to each other in their homes, in bazaars, and in lonely places. These are not the dreams of enthusiasts, but the sober verdict of statesmen and soldiers and of men Avho know India. They tell us that at any day we may witness a great outburst of Christianity, that the time is ripe for some great Indian apostle to sway the masses of his countrymen as the harvest is bowed before the wind. If we do not, at least our children may see the battle won, and the weary and heavy-laden of India sitting at the Saviour's feet, washed, not in the Ganges, but in the blood of the Lamb, and finding rest, not in Nirvana, but in Him. Nor should this seem too slow for us, if it is not too slow for God. Let us leaiTi our place in the Divine order. All material things work out, perhaps through countless ages, the plan of the Creator. It 078 THE CENTEN'ARY CELEBPlATION. matters not whetlicr we stand with kings and prophets who desire to see, or look through the blessed eyes of later disciples. It is enough for the friends of God to hail the j)romises from afar, and tliat His awful purposes have stooped down to embrace them. Every faithful worker- is content with the presence of the Master. " 'Twas August, and the fierce sun overhead Smote on the squalid streets of Bethnal Green ; And the pale weaver, through his windows seen In Spitalfields, look'd thrice dispirited. I met a preacher there I know, and said — ' 111 and o'erworked, how fare you in this scene ? ' ' Bravely,"said he ; ' for I of late have been 3Iuch cheer'd with thoughts of Christ, the Liriiitj Bread.' "' Every man has his own vision, and each one must be obedient to the heavenly vision as he sees it. One sees the hand of God beckoning him to the loss of all tilings ; he forsakes father and mother and kindred, and goes out to die like Hannington and Comber. Another hears the call to sei-vice in his native land. A young giil has a vision of the love of Christ filling all her heart ; she crucifies herself to what is dear and sweet, and ministers to the dreary, aching life of the zenana. Or a merchant has a vision that he may glorify God in a business life at home. No man ever heard the call to make money for himself, but only that he may use it for God. Let no one despise the vision of another, but let each obey his own. The world of Ignatius and Polycarp was won by suffering, and ' ' the days may yet come when nothing short of a similar sacrifice will reconvert the world " — the sacrifice of time for prayer out of a busy life, the sacrifice of wealth and learning and brilliant prospects, perhaps the sacrifice of blood. When they tell us we must abandon Chinese missions because of persecution, we reply that the second century was won by blood. Only there must be sacrifice at home as well as abroad. The serried ranks at home must not be simply spectators while the little companies of native converts, like gladiators in the arena of the world, offer themselves to die. "We must " pour contempt on all our pride," and look down from that Cross on which we are crucified with Christ upon the things that have charmed us most as upon toys that have lost their charm. Then the desert will blossom round us with roses ; the miracle of the early days will be repeated, and the " splendid exaggera- tion " of Justin Martyr will bo sober truth of all the globe: "There exists not a people, whether Greek or barbarian or any other race of men, by whatsoever appellation they may be distinguished, whether they dwell under tents or wander about in covered wagons, among whom prayers are not offered in the name of the crucified Jesus to the Father fti^d Creator of aU things." THE .MEETINGS IX T.ONnoN', 379 The next sjioaker was :\rR, T^ Y. BARROW, M.P. He said : — Mr. Cliainuan and Christian Friends, — I svipiioso the efforts* and heartg of the Cliristian Church are more focussed upon this succession of ser\'ices than ever tliey have been xipon any religious services before ; and whilst that is the case, some of our attention has been diverted to what has recently been going on in Uganda. Whether we agree wdth the action of the Government or not, I do not think we can agree with the sentiment of the East African Company, who have solicited the Government about their maintenance in that distilct. Whatever the Government may do, we do not want them to interfere mth missionary work. I do not think any of our exijerts on this platform can name a single case in the lustory of the Christian Churcli where Christianity has been advanced by the intervention of the State. Whatever good any of us may be inclined to suppose exists in the connection of Church and State in this country, w<' disavow its goodness in Africa, or any of the coimtries where our mis- sionaries work, as they do not want to appear in a false light. They do not want to appear as "ambassadors" from England, but they present themselves as ambassadors for the King of kings on behalf of another countiy altogether, a heavenly coimtry. But notwithstanding this, the Government can do something: they can prevent the importation so freely of intoxicating liquors ; they might pre- vent the introduction of firearms and ammunition where these people are so uncivilised, or are at their first stage of Christianity. The Goveiiunent should pursue that policy, and leave the teaching alone to the missionaries themselves, who draw their inspiration from an entirely different source. Carey never sought the protection of temporal powers ; indeed, he Avas thwarted on every side, but never discouraged in consequence of that ; he never missed what he did not seek, and what he never relied upon. Who ever heard of the magnificent success attained by mission work in the South Sea Islands being helped by a political party or the State !' No, dear fiiends, wo recognise that there should be an entire disunion between these two altogether. Now, Chiistianity is the vital force of all well-being. It is sometimes said that Christianity is the complement of the social and political welfare of the peojile. I am rather inclined to quarrel witli that description ; I should turn that round completely, and I would say that the social and political welfare of the people and their development must be the complement of Christianity. Now, our Chairman has just prophesied that at the end of the second centenary yvo. shall see Africa stuficlftl vdth. railways and thickly poj^ulated. If that is to be the Cf\S9 380 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. (and who would suppose that it would be otlierwise). liow necessaiy it is that the natives of Afiica should be thoroughly grounded and converted into Christianity, rather than that we should be over-anxious as to what form of government should prevail here or there on that continent. A word or two about the funds. In the Jubilee year of oui' Missionary Society the income was i'.'J.'J.TOO — not a. gi-eat amount — but since that year (1S42) the wealth of this nation has increased as much as it did in the previous 400 years. Now let us grasp the idea, and we shall at once see that our Secretary and the Executive are not unduly ambitious in their aspirations to raise £100,000. If, indeed, this missionary enter- prise is indebted at all to gifts from this country, I should filso say that this country is indebted for much of its increase of wealth from the Avork of the missionary enterprise. Our authorities take credit for somo^ thing like two and three-quai-ter millions that have been spent upon tlie Baptist Missionary Society since its introduction. What a petty amount wlien we think of the enormous aggregation of wealth and the fiightful amount of waste of our financial resources upon things more imworthy I As to the temperance question, alas I more than £140,000,000 a year is spent in strong drink in this country, whilst there has been spent on this Baptist Mission from its start £2,7-50,000 I I wish I could inspire our magnificent Secretary to be a little more ambitious than he is. I think we generally lise higher in proportion to the mark set before \is. Well, now, £100,000 may do, but Ave must not ho very proud about having contributed this amount in the light of such figiu'cs as I have just mentioned. Why, there are men to-day in this land whose income is £100.000, .and the possibilities of being in that iiosition can be traced dii'ectly to the missionary entei'prise in India. Missionary work is the pioneer work of all civilisation, and of the outcome of this civilisation we ai-e living witnesses. We are indebted in all respects to this missionary work, of Avhich I am very proud to knoAV that I belong to the pioneer Church. The Chairman talked about regiilar systematic giving. That is a veiy good method indeed, and I should think Mr. Williams is a very good apostle of it, and knows its value, and I do not think we could do better than to imitate him to the extent of our ability. But whilst he was making that declaration of faith, I was thinking of the Salvation Ai-my with their "Self-Denial" Week. The Chairman spoke about wealthy men contributing three- fourths of their income. In many cases, if they did, they would have plenty more left, but if they were impressed with the need of a heavy sacrifice for such a cause as the missionary entei'prise, and were to deny themselves for a week in the spirit of the Salvation Army, the result would be most immense. The Salvation Ai-my works mostly amongst the poorer elements of our population, and they have been able to get, by their self-denial and collection — I suppose it is realised by now«— something like £40,000, and yet this THE MEETINGS IN LUXDOX. o8l Special appeal is luade to our friends to raise £l()U,Oi)l) only. Do not let lis be too proud about this amount. I think that now from this stage of oiu' existence we ought to be a little more ambitious in doing some- thing even greater still. Our work is not yet accomplished, and I hojie that we shall derive from these meetings an inspiration that will propel us onward to the extent of our utmost abilities. A word or two about the regular income of the Society. The Sunday- schools have done their share, but that must not be the limit of what we may expect from them. Their numbers are constantly on the increase, and I believe that a very much larger number of them could be in- terested in this work if we only adopted means for securing their interest. Then it is the custom' throughout the Baptist denomination, I believe, to have an annual sermon on the subject of foreign missions ; but I do not think they are made sufHciently illustrative of the subject. If our ministers too were to post themselves up in the details and facts concerning the work of the Society and fi-equently relate them, I think they would excite such interest in their congregations as we have never hitherto ^vitnessed. "We want to adopt various means for disseminating an account of the work that has been done. Let our friends be a little more politic in making fully known the details of the work. We have heard something about having ladies on the Coiumittee. I think that would be a very -wise course to adopt, and I hope it will soon be carried into effect. I wish, in connnon with all that have stood here during the last few days, that God may yet rain down His blessing more abundantly upon your efforts, and that He may see of the travail of His soul in this matter of the conversion of the heathen to Christianity and be satisfied, so that this world will become the Kingdom of our God and of His Chi-ist. THE REV. PROFESSOR LEGGE, of Oxford University, then delivered the following address : — ■ Mr. Chairman and Christian Friends, — I was surprised when I received the letter of your excellent Secretary, Mr. Bayiies, asking me to be present at this Centenary breakfast, and to take part in its proceedings. He added that I would here be representing the Congregational body, and ho referred also to the educational connection which I have had with some of your Baptist missionaries more recently sent forth to the Chinese field. I could but appreciate the honour which was doiK! to me by the request of the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society, thus con- veyed by Mr. Bayiies, and I am here in consequence this morning, delighted to avail myself of it. I went out as a missionary to the Chinese in 1839, fifty-three years agOj aj)pointed in the first place to Malacca, China itself being then shut 382 'Me OENl'ENAllY CELEBtlATlON'. against tlie entrance of the Christian missionary. In the spring of 1841:1, I removed to the Island of Hong Kong, which had been ceded to Her Majesty in the Treaty of Nanking at the conclusion of our first war with China. That became my station for the next thirty years, and there it was my privilege to welcome bi'ethren of almost every Christian land and denomination, as they touched at it on their way to the great mission- field. They generally halted and refreshed themselves with us for a week or ten days after their long voyage, for there was then no steam coummnication between the East and the West. So it was that I received in 1845 the first Baptist missionaries that came to China. They were not, indeed, from the Society whose Centenary we are nov/ celebrating, but from a kindred branch of the Baptist body, though their two streams of Christian service now happily flow in one channel. The arrival of Mr. Hudson and his son, and of Mr. and Mrs. Jarrom, was quite an event. I well remember the pleasure which their brief sojourn afforded to us in the London Mission House. Mr. Hudson must have been older than I then was, but he was cheerful and buoyant as a youth. I enjoyed the kindly shrewdness of his nature and the loving spirit in which he spoke of the Chinese people. On the day after he arrived he marched down the hill by himself to the bazaar, and went from shop to shop, ]jicking up the names of different articles, and delighting the people by his beaming smile and winning manner. He had pre-eminently this important qualification for a missionary — a tender sympathy with, and loving kindness for, the people to whom he was sent. He was too old to become a great Chinese scholar, but I have no doubt that he did good service at his station in Ning-po till his death in 1876. I will not occupy the time with any general reference to the pioneers of your missions in India. I venerate the memory of Carey, the mis- sionary king ; I appreciate Marshman, a gi-and philologist ; I admire Ward, the printer and man of business, as unselfishly devoted to the service of the Master as the two others, and worthy to stand along with them by the intellectual capacity which he developed. To Marshman, however, I am most drawn because of his work in Chinese. The translation of the Bible into the languages of India was one of their great aims, but that was not enough for Marsh- man. In 1806 he entered on the task of producing a version of the Scriptures in Chinese. The undertaking might have been called pre- sumptuous, but its accomplishment in fifteen years showed that it was only bold. The version was published in 1822, the year before the version of Morrison and Milne appeared in China. How was it possible for him to accomplish such a thing ? The case illustrates the saying, that "Where there is a will there is a way." There was then in Calcutta an Armenian Christian called John Laasar. He had been born in Macao, and had grown up spoaldng Chiuese as a THE MEETINGS IX LOXDON. 080 Chinese youth, uud had become well ucquaiuted tiLso with the written characters. He was emploj-ed by Dr. Claudius Buchanan, a clergyman, to translate the New Testament into Chinese, and had one or two Chinese ^^^tll him. By-and-by he removed to Serampore, and began to teach Marshman Cliinese. Marshman's progress was rapid and great. He has left a monument of it in his ' ' Clavis Sinica, or Elements of Chinese Grammar," which was published in IS 14, a work of pre-eminent excel- lence. It was in the preface to tliis that he eniuiciated the piinciple that " the whole of Chinese grammar depends on position " ; and of this brief sentence the late Stanislas Julien, the greatest thus far of Continental sinologists, said in the last book which he published that it had been for him " as a beam of light which opened his eyes " to the nature of Chinese composition. Very soon Marshman and Lassar laboured together on the translation of the Scriptures, and the Avhole Bible Avas itubUshed in Chinese in 182:.', the wonderful fruit of fifteen years of self-denying, unremitted labour. Being in Calcutta for a month in iSoS, I made a short pilgri- mage to Serampore, to see what remained of the College and to com- mune in spirit with the spirits of the three great missionaries whose memories will for ever hallow the place. I travelled to it by rail, and was kindly welcomed by Sampson and Trafford, the missionaries then resident at the station. It was still and lonely compared with what it once had been, but the buildings were there. Even now there often comes back to me something of the delight with which I looked at the parrakeets in their green plumage Hying among the trees in the court and nestmg about the roof, as also the delight with which I heard the cries of the jackals that distiu'bed my sleep in the night. And my visit also settled in my mind a question whicli had often perplexed me. I was familiar, of course, with a copy of Marshman's version of the Bible. It did not look as if it had been printed, after the ordinary Chinese fashion, from wooden blocks. The characters had the appearance of being l^rinted from metallic types. We had of late years begun to do much of our printmg in connection with the London Missionary Society with founts of such types, cast from matrixes, the formation of which was commenced at Malacca in about IH'36 by the Eev. Samuel Dyer, a most devout and devoted missionary, but having a natural gift for mechanical operations. Morrison's great dictionary had been piinted, at the expense of the East India Company, with movable types ; but they were not cast from matrixes, each single tyjic being cut on a small metal form specially prepared for the purpose. Had Marshman's types been so cut, or had they been cast from matrixes 'f This was a question which I wished to solve on my visit to Serampore. I asked Mr. Trafford if any of the punches or matrixes made for Dr. Marshman's version were still in existence. He took me to the large room where Marshman had studied 084 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. and vvoikud, uud where the high desk at which he had sat remained as he left it. I opened the lid, and there in a corner lay a heap of steel punches, dusty, but in good condition. My question was solved. In the i^rinting office of the Seraiiipore Mission inovaLle metallic Chinese types cast from matrixes were first employed for the printing of our sacred Scriptures. I come now to the one other subject on which I wish to speak a little at this breakfast. Before entering on it, however, let me just say that the first movable Chiiaese types were prepared by a Mr. Pi iShing, a blacksmith, about the luiddle of our eleventh century, thus anticiijating by rather more than 300 years the achievement of Gutenberg. But it is one of the mysteries of Chinese history that the important discovery thus made so long ago is only now, and as yet to a small extent, begiiming to supersede the old system of xylography. The one other subject to which I have just referred is that on which, I imaguie, the Committee of the Baptist Society wished me to say some- thing when they thought of asking me to this breakfast. Mr. Baynes's letter based the invitation partly on my having given their first lessons in Chinese to some of their younger missionaries. Mr. Duncan, who is now in the north-west of China, in the province of Shen-si, which the Nestoiians entered in the name of the Triune God in our seventh cen- tiu;y, and where the Baptist Society has been called to estabhsh a new station under very I'emarkable circu.mstances — Mr. Duncan was for twelve months a most successful student with me at Oxford; and Mr. Burt, who is only on his way to his station in Shantung province, was my Davis Chinese Scholar for the last two years. The Chinese Chair at Oxford was intended by some of its promoters to be mainly a chair of research. I hailed my appointment to it very much because it would also give me the opportunity to lay in the minds of young men intended for missionary work the foundation of a Cliinese scholarshij) that would be useful to them in their- future course, and make them able ministers of Christian truth in then- several spheres. This hope has been realised to a considerable extent, but not so largely as I desire. Oxford, Cambridge, and London are all prepared to give preliminary training in the language to students appointed to, or wishing to occupy, stations in China ; and it is my strong conviction that not one of them should leave this country without availing himself of the special instruction which is offered to them. I must think, also, that the directors of Missionary societies which do not insist on their accepted students doing so are labouring mider a sad mistake, and fall into serious eri'or. I know well the excuses or apologies which are made for sending men out without the training which I recommend. The young men, it is said, are full of zeal, and eager to be in the field; so it is happily, but not wisely. A young American missionary told me that, after his conversion in a THK MEEtlXGS JX i-ONDON. 385 great revival inovouieut, he could nut rest to study at liuuie, lest all the Chinese became converted and the work be finished before he could take any part in it I Directors, again, have said to me, and very stupidly, I I submit to you, " The money comes to us for direct mission work, and not to prepare our candidates for it. The sooner we can send them into the field the better." My contention, on the contrary, is that the pre- liminary training will be a saving of time in real missionary labour, and will promote its thoroughness and efficiency. I need hardly argue my point at gi-eater length. The thing is but another form of a question which has been sufficiently discussed in coimection with the qualifica- tions necessary for the exercise of the Christian ministry. There may still be some who think that an uneducated ministry is better for it than an educated; but they must be very few. Skilled labour is better, cheaper, and more effective in all matters of business than miskilled ; and the higher the business the more important is the skill. All Governments recognise this principle ; companies which have pecuniary interests at stake recognise it ; shall we act in the conduct of our missions on the contrary principle ? The Baptist Missionary Society is not doing so, and will not do so. Its Committee will more and more act the part of wisdom, of a true economy of their funds, and of a look- out for a grand success, by sending out their best men into their mission- fields. God has crowned the labours of missions with a rich blessing in the past. He will crown them with a richer blessing in the future. There is no work so arduous as the mission work among the heathen. It demands the highest qualification in every field. They may be different as required in India and in China from what are required in Africa and Polynesia ; but the difference is only in kuid and not in degree. The best men, of deepest piety, strongest faith, and most various ability, are required for all mission work. May all societies see to it that their missionaries be such, so far as they can do anything to make them so ! Then they may send them forth depending on the Divine arrangement, that when a Paul is planting and an ApoUos watering, God will not fail to give the increase. Your Secretary said that I would represent Congregationalism at this breakfast. I cannot, somehow, help being a Congregationalist, but I venture to say that if I were a Baptist I could not desii-e the blessing of God to rest on your missionary labours in India, China, Africa, and all your chosen fields more than I now do. Mr. IUtnes announced that, as far as could be then calculated, the subscrip'/iniis |iroinisc(l at the meeting amounted to £2,'il2. The pro'joe-liiigi terminated with the Benediction. ib 386 IHE CEXTENARY CELEBRATION", THE LADIES' MEETING. This meeting was held in the afternoon, with the Rev. Joseph Angus, D.D,, in the Chair. After prayer by the Rev. William Hill, formerly of Orissa, THE CHMRMAN said : — ■ It is, i think, most lit that a meeting of women should be held in eonnection with the Centenary of the Missionary Society ; they owe so much to the Gospel, and are able in one way and another to do so mu(;h for it. What missions would be without a Bible, what a church would be without mothers' meetings and Sunday-schools, what man would be without woman, that, I believe, a missionary society would be if women and the work of women were withdrawn. The co-operation of women in the form of Zenana work is no doubt recent, but their co-operation ui the Gospel is as old as the first sin, and has continued through all the ages. The first promise was the assurance that the seed of the woman was to bruise the head of the serpent. The faith of Sarai was as needful in the Jewish national Hfe as was the faith of Abraham, and the song of Miriam completed the victories of Moses. The prophetic era, men sometimes say, began with Samuel ; but it really began with Hannah, whose prayer gave her son his birth, his name, his consecration. The great multitude spoken of in the Psalms as proclaim- ing the word or praise of God were women, as the gender of the noun implies. On the maidens of that old economy the Holy Ghost came down as well as upon the young men. Under the Gospel they were women who ministered to our Lord of their substance, and half of the messages of the Epistle to the Romans were sent to women, from Priscilla, who, with her husband, was ready to risk her ov,ni life to save Paul, down to the beloved Persis, who "laboured much in the Lord." And you remember how Paul found a second and a truer mother, for he tells us that he was by descent a Hebrew of Hebrews, a descendant of Hebrews upon both sides ; he found a truer mother in the mother of Rufiis, " the chosen of the Lord." Nor is it the fact only I hat women took up Christian Avork ; they were earnest in it, and found in it the first place. Christ was descended as to His human nature from the woman only. Women were last at the cross, it has been said, and first at the sepulchre ; and to a woman our Lord first appeared after His THE MEETIXGS \N LONDON'. 387 resuiTt'ctioii, uiui tbrough her He told His disciples that He was risen. In that first prayer-meeting at Pentecost, when the Spirit descended to fit the apostles for their work, the presence of Mary and of the women is specially named. Nor is it insignificant to note that the most endearing name given to the Christian Church is taken from your sex, not from ours. She is " the bride, the Lamb's wife," an expression figurative and spiritual no doubt, but showing clearly the closeness and the blessedness of oiu' relation to one another and to our Lord. And with similar facts in later times all our missionary societies are familiar. The founder of Lidian girls' schools was the wife of one o our missionaries, Mrs. Marshman. The founders of the Chinese Mission were Mrs. and Dr. Judson, and I may venture to say rather the former than the latter ; while in the West Indies Mrs. Knibb, Mrs. Burchell, and the two Mrs. Clarkes were, to my personal knowledge, as dear to the people of Jamaica as their husbands themselves. It is worth noting also that, though our lady missionary societies largely originated in the peculiarities of Indian family life, they are now widening their field, and going back to the methods* of earlier times. In the first ages there were no .such social difficulties as there are now ill India, and yet those Christian workers whom Paul calls " fellow- labourers in the Gospel " were women, and were working under an economy essentially different from that of India itself. And I believe that now in China and in Africa a great work is to be done by Avomen, a work which none can do better, and few can do so well, with their tact, their wisdom, their devotedness, and their love. Of course, this expan- sion of ladies' work must not be carried on by fmids and agents taken from India, but must be specially supplied by our churches themselves. And as I know something of the priceless sei^vices of our Zenana Com- mittee and officers, I hope that the new work will be carried out on the same lines and as auxiliary to our venerable and dear friend the jjarent Society. "What a blessed augury it would be if at this meeting the contributions of women were so large and generous in money, and above all in consecration of our daughters as to enable one or another of these societies, either the parent or child, to begin this extended work at once I It would be a fitting memorial of the blessed and special labours of oiu- Centenary year. One word more. One oi the Jatest incidents of our Mission is to my heart very touching and instructive. An old native Christian Avomau AVas seized a few weeks ago at Bhiwani with cholera. The usual reme- dies were applied by the missionaries, but she died in th(" eA'ening of the day. Two of our sisters, one engaged in Zenana Avork and the other as a medical missionary, not only attended this poor Avonian during her ilhiess, but they paid the last offices due to the dead, themselves con- ducting a simple serviot; at the gravp> comforted throughout by the 388 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. thought, " The work is necessary, and if it is not done by us it will not be done at all;" and by this further thought, "We are in Christ's hands;" and again by this fui-ther thought, "If under- shepherds are taken away, the Chief Shepherd will only take their work more com- pletely into His own hands." I think that the spirit of this incident, the self-denying love of these sisters, the risks they willingly ran because they must be run, and the spirit of beautiful devotedness to the Master's work and cause, are a lesson for us all. If I might say it, I would say to mothers and fathers in this meeting, "Give up your daughters if it is in their hearts to go." And I will tell you what we know. We are as well acquainted with that part of India where our daughters are labouiing as we are with our own district and neighbourhood. Every week we have letters that are read, each of them with increasing interest, and with the feeling that no nobler employ, no more blessed work on earth, can be foimd for intelligent and devoted Christian ladies than the work of seeking to save their sisters in India. I heartily commend their work to your sympathy and your prayers. THE HON. GERTRUDE KINNAIRD was the first speaker : — On my return, she said, from a visit to India a few months ago, I felt that I must use every opportunity which was given to me to tell people about the great need of workers there, as a call from God. In that field of India every worker tells. Every worker is not oi>ly missed as they would be here, but their place, if not filled up, is a place where there is no one to ijroclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And yet what one feels here is, that though the Christians of England are interested in the spread of the Kingdom of God, yet our interest is, to a certain extent, a very unintelligent one. We know about missions generally ; we speak about missions in India, and missions in Africa, and missions in China ; but when we begin to try to understand or explain what is o-oing on in those countries I fear that there are many of us who would not be able to stand much of an examination. Now what I want to try to do for a few minutes is to bring before you some of the impressions made upon my own mind, from the opportunities that I had of visiting a number of the mission stations in India. In the first i^lace, what struck one very much was the enormous extent of the need. Everywhere, in every direction, there seemed to be a huge, teeming population, and the thing that pressed upon one's mind was, ' ' How are all these people to be reached '1 ' ' Another thing that struck me very much on arriving in India was the enormous number of women that were met in the streets, in the bazaars, in the villages, at railway stations ; indeed, in every direction it seemed to THE MEETINGS IN 1, OX HON. 389 me that tlioro were swanns of womon, and one know very well that if those Avoiiien were to he reached by the Gospel, it could only be by women — either European or Indian — because those women would never stand to listen to a man preaching. They would never stop in a crowd of men gathered round the preacher and hear what he had to say. They might pause for one moment, but then they would pass on. There- fore, unless women go to them, they never hear anything about Jesus Christ. And then another impression that was forced ui^on one very strongly, coming in contact a little with these low-caste women (these women who are allowed, to a certain extent, to go about their daily Avork), was that one was apj)alled by their ignorance and by their degradation. I do not tliink that you can exaggerate the degraded position of women under Hinduism. Of course one does not mean by this that every woman and girl is brutally treated, but that they are in a degraded position one is reminded at every turn. Constantly when the women are being spoken to about the things of God, or it is sought to urge them to learn to read, they will smile and say, ' ' How can we learn ? We are only women ! We have got no intelligence. We have never been expected to leam or to remember anything." This was very forcibly brought to my mind one day when a lady had got a large group of women gathered round her in a village. She gave them a simjile Bible lesson, to which they seemed to -paj a great deal of attention, and to listen with marked eagerness. At the end she asked, "Do you think you can remember what I have told you till next week, till I come again ? " A smile passed over their faces. " Remember I Remember I How can you expect women to remember anything ? Of course we shall not remember. If you expect us to remember it, you must come again and again and again, and then, perhaps, some day Ave shall be able to remember what you teach us." And I think this is about true of all work amongst these women of India. We must go to them again and again and agam, and they listen ; and what touches them at all times is the story of the love of God. They have had so little love in their lives, they have had so little love connected Avith their family life, or connected, at anj^ rate, Avith their religious life, that it stiikes them Avith surprise and amazement when they hear that God loves them. But often it is hard to get them to believe it. They will listen most carefully to what you say, but they can scarcely believe that God loves them. Such a thought has never occurred to them. Then there is that large work which is much taken up— the visiting of the women in their zenanas, and the education of those who are desii-ing to learn to read. You know that more or less Western ideas are making themselves felt in India, and these Western ideas are q,Avakening in the Avomen a desire to learn, and this not only so, bi+t 390 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. also among the men on tlieii- behalf; mdeed, in many parts of India there is a great desii-e on the part of the women to learn to read. Now, the question that was pressed home upon me veiy much was — Are we going to alloAV those Avomen to be taught to read Avithout haAdng any- Christian training \vith it ? As a matter of fact, in some quarters the Avomen are getting education, and beginning to pay for it, but Avith it no Christian teaching. And I must say that those women whom I have come across — and I have come across a good many who have received education in this Avay — do not make me feel that it is a very desirable thing to see this kind of education being pressed in India. But, on the other hand, when you get the women under Christian influence, then, though their faith may be shaken in their oavh religion, and though they may perhaps begin to see that what they have been taught is not true, yet they learn that God loves them, they learn to love Him in return, they learn to pray, they learn to read their Bibles, and, Avhile you are quickening their intelligence, you are also awakening their souls ; and I do feel that it is a matter of supreme importance now that the Christians of England shoidd meet this growing desire on the part of the Avomen to learn, by sending them Christian teachers, those who Avill not only teach them to read and write, and give them other educational advantages, but who Avill teach them about Jesus Christ, and Avho Avill give to them the Bible ; because, after all, one feels that, without that, education Avill not do much for India. Do you not think the future of India Avill depend very much uj)on whether in the next ten, tAventy, or thirty years the Christian Chiu-ch rises to the privilege and the responsibility of sending education to the women of India, Avith the Bible ? I think Ave want to press this upon the hearts and consciences of every Christian in this land. AVould to God that Ave coidd do it. Another thought that occurs to one in connection with this educational Avork is the importance of the education of the native Christian girls. Perhaps when I went to India I had a kind of feeling, as many have, that it Avas a beautiful thing to go about and preach the Gospel from village to Adllage and just to evangelise the people, and so it is; but since I have been in India and seen the mission Avork, what has impressed itself upon me is the great necessity for training the natiA-e Chi-istian girls. I think that Avdll have such an immense influence upon the futm'e of India, and these girls cannot be trained in their homes. The native Christians are scattered all over India — many of them in out-stations, and it is impossible to train the daughters as they should be trained, if they are kept at home sur- rounded by the influences of a Hindu or Mohammedan city or village. Therefore Ave must proA^de education for these Christian gii-ls. If you AA'ant to see what Christianity does for women, go and visit one of such schools at Delhi ; see the bright, intelligent, and Avell-grown girls, THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 391 and compare them with the poor stunted child-Tv-ives that you meet ^vith in zenanas, and you y^ill see what Christianity does for women. When you see them brought under the influence of Christian ladies, you will find that they do go forth better fitted to be mothers, or Biblo-readers, or whatever else they may be called upon to do, than if they are left to grow up ^^'ithout this care. It is work like this that so many ladies connected with your Society are doing in India. They are living among the people, and teaching them, and jiutting into their hands, with the love of Clu-ist, a power that they would not be receiving without Chris- tian help and Christiiin training. If you want to show more sympathy with the work, it ought to be by taking a more personal interest in what is being done out there, associating yoiu-self as far as you can with those whoni you kncnv and who are working out in the mission^ field. One hears a great deal said against missionaries, and of their living in luxm-j', and one hears a great deal said about misuse of mission money, and one continually sees letters in the papers about it ; but may I give you one answer among many that can always be given 'r It is this, that all our missionary societies are to be commended for being able to obtain missionaries, ladies and others, who manage to live (as is often said) so luxuriously uj)on a very small salary ! Looking at it from that point of view, I think they manage to get an extremely clever set of people I But, above all, we know that those who have gone out have gone with a real desire to win the women with whom they come in contact to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Whether you go to the zenanas visited by them, or whether you go to the schools for the heathen, or to the Chris- tian schools, you cannot help seeing and recognising many who have learnt to know Jesus Christ by contact with these ladies. There is one other branch of work that I should like to touch upon, which I think is of very great importance, and that is the medical work in India. I am very glad to think that your Society has now several lady doctors in India. From what I have seen of the medical missions in India, I caimot help thinking that they are, perhaps, better calculated than any other missions to do good. For one thing, they are a practical ex- position to the people of what we are constantly telling them — namely, of the love of God. We tell them that God loves them, and they see, by oiu- interest in them and care for them when they are sick, that we do care for them, and that we do want to bring them help ; and, when we are able in this way to relieve suffering, it opens many hearts to see that this love of which we speak to them is truly a love which cares for them in every detail of life. Another thing that one notices very much among the women of India is that just at the time of sickness, sadness, and bereavement in a family — just at the time when they require more sympathy and gentleness — 392 THE CENTENAEY CELEBRATION. the women of India are treated most unkindly. When a death occurs in a family, it is generally attributed to the fault of some woman in the zenana ; when illness comes, it is generally something that she has done in a former state. Constantly, when her heart is sore with bereavement and her body is racked with pain, she gets little sympathy. At such times the medical missionary comes and tries to alleviate her pain and to biing sympathy to bear upon her, and that causes a very different feeling to spring vip among the people. One cannot help feeling glad and thankful to God for those whom the missionaries have been able to help ; but, oh, how few they are com- pared with what they ought to be I There are so few missionaries. Patna is one of the great cities of India, where you have had a Mission for a great number of years, and it is situated in a district where there are 22,000,000 of people. Now, in that district the only missionaries are those connected with your Society and four ladies -connected with another Society. "With the exception of a few native helpers, those are the only missionaries who are at work in that huge district, which has been connected with England for so many years. Just think of what we have to do — just think of the work there is before us I People say thei-e are so many workers going out to India that India will surely soon be evangelised. But think of 280,000,000 ! We ought not to be satisfied till, at any rate, every woman in India is within reach of a missionaiy — that is to say, that at some time duilng the year they may come in contact Avith someone who can tell them of the love of God. I think English Christians ought not to be satisfied till this is the case ; and we ought to go on striving, working, and praying that God will send out more labourers into that great field, because there is so much ground stUl unoccupied. There is no need for us to be treading on each other's heels ; there are such immense fields where we could go and plant mission stations. Let us pray that there may be raised up many to be sent out to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I trust that one result of this meeting will be that some here, who may have had some vague idea of taking an interest in the work, will determine that, either by personal service in India or personal service here, they will do what they can to see that the women in these districts are not left without medical aid, are not left without education, and, above all, are not left without the know- ledge of Jesus Christ, which does bring light into their dark homes, and which does make them glad. After singing the hymn beginning — " Go soun( And bid the Chairman called upon " Go sound the trump on India's shore, And bid the Hindu weep no more," THE MEETINGS IX LONDON. o93 MRS. CAMPAGNAC, formerly of Delhi, who delivered the following address : — Dear Friends, — After some years of enforced silence, through illness, I try to make myself heard in your midst to-day. We are gathered together because we are already, to a large extent, acquainted -with the condition, and interested in the welfare, of Indian women. Therefore, setting aside as familiar or unessential much that might otherwise be said, we seem to be left with these few elementary questions : — Do the women of India really want anything ? If so, hdvc trt' what they need ? And what is our duty in these circumstances ? There are those who tell us. "No, they want nothing." The higher classes of secluded women, to whom the "goodly earth and air are banned and barred — forbidden faro," are "used to it," they say, and to the social conditions which we dej^lore. So is the prisoner used to his chains, and, if long incarcerated, some have even ceased to ilesin- freedom and daylight, but is your pity the less ? And the lower castes, they tell us, are "satisfied wdth mere physical existence"; if it were so, such low content, which is a condition of hopelessness, should appeal to iis. A Mohammedan gentleman in this coimtry used to visit me some time ago. We read the Psalms and New Ta-Hament together. He was amazed and delighted. I begged hint, on his return to India, to teach these things to his wife ; and he replied, " Mem sahib, Indian women are but animals." In such low esteem are they held by their coimtrymen ! And we are told, and that by Englishmen who have travelled all over the woiM, that "the nations of the world do not want Christ." It becomes us to inquire what that means. Does " want " mean " desire " ? If so, how shall they desire that of which they have never heard ? But does "want" mean need? If so, the facts speak, and make for us that " caU of God " from which there is no retreat. Let us look at a few of these facts. India is sometimes called a highly-civilised land. But Oriental scholars, who best know and most highly appreciate the ancient civilisation, are yet bound to assert that that nation is not truly civilised whose women are enslaved, and add that there can be no social reform without female education. Yet the last census, taken in February of this year, showed thirty-nine millions of girls imder fifteen years of age, and only one- third of one million is receiving Christian instruction ; while more than ninety-nine per cent, are entered as unal)le to read and write — the proportion of those Avho can read and write being 1 in 9 for men, but 1 in 173 for w^omen ! And even this is spoken of as definite educational advance. Another item of interest, gathered from this census, is this : ^94 ■ THE CENTENAEY CELERRATION-. that the number of widows under fifteen years of age appears to be less than in 1881, but now thirty-three per cent, of this class of widowed girls are under five years of age ! What shall we say to these things ? Surely these facts bespeak need. We see in India a great upheaval of religious thought, renewed atten- tion given to ancient Hindu writings, strenuous effort used to restore Buddhism to the land of its birth, and the wonderful Brahmo Somaj movement. And Avhile we watch with sympathetic interest the effort of India's sons to restore and purify her ancient literature, yet we know that this forms the study of the select and educated few, and the women- neglected and untaught— are not touched by this movement. Other religions have brought no hope for women. One only sconied not to say, " Woman, why weepest thou ? " The ignorant are superstitious ; festivals and pilgrinuiges in honour of the many deities, whom they dread but never love, make up the religion of the lower classes ; and a weary round of propitiatory ritual— that " opiate for the conscience " — paralyses the inmate of the zenana home. Nor do they dread their deities alone ; they think that evil spirits, ever ready to harm, crowd about them and their children ; omens abound, the wells are possessed, each grave is haunted. The "evil eye" may fall on them at any moment, so charms are worn and works of merit performed, and beggars and Brahmins are fed and vows are made, exorcism and incantations practised, and cruel fastings rigidly kept even at cost of life. " All their lifetime in bondage through /mr." Yet, -ttdth pathetic earnestness they do, and teach theii- children, the best they know. Is there not ncfd here ? Must we not learn and teach not continuous ritual, but consistent rectitude ; not that one should afflict his soul, but that the righteous Lord loveth righteousness, and that the " All Great is the All Loving, too " !' Again, the diseases incident to that climate are aggravated by the insanitary condition of the houses, while the grossest ignorance prevails as to treatment of sickness, the poor patient follows the advice of women as ignorant as herself, and sufferings are increased, With all their ablutions, cleanliness is not known, pure water and fresh air are j)urposely A\athheld. When epidemics appear, offerings are increased to the various divinities, but the fevered patient may be lying on a pallet placed across an open drain I Infectious and contagious diseases are not iso- lated, but the small-pox patient mixes freely with others while living, and should death ensue the clothing is divided among survivors, and thus life is sacrificed, not saved. There is need here, and we women have the means of help. We have ready access to our Indian sisters. Education can enlarge the mind ; a little knowledge of physiology and hygiene can help them to obey some THE MKKTINOS IX LONDON. oD;') of the laws of health ; medical skill and kindness can often heal the sick, and litei-ally open blind ej'es. Theii- mice does not reach ns, saying, " Come over and help," it is true ; but human need is the cry that rises to the Father of all spirits. He hears, and may be saying to some here, " I have seen, and am come down to deliver. Come, now, I will send thei'.'' Do ire hear ? Perception of and pity for any need is call to sxipply it. " Capacity for is call to duty." Only they who have can give. Have we that better thing, faith — that we should help others to believe ? Have we that open vision which shall lift others' ti'embling gaze to the " canopy of love " ? Free from English idolatries and the fetish of form, do we "walk in the spiiit " that we should help others out of a perfunctoiy and mechanical system ? They have deified their heroes, and believed in gods that come down ; can we hallow that idea, and, meeting the tide of pi-esent-day doubt, live out the truth that the name Emmanuel was no mistake, for there is " (rod witlt iiA " ? Do we know whom we have believed ? These, after all, are the crucial questions ; for, as is our response to them, so will the value of missionary effort appear. Buddha long sought the " way of emancipation," and at last dis- covered— .a hope not to exist, to escape the Avearisome roiuid of new births, and in the end not tt> he ; and we know of One who is the Way, who has made life light, and immortality a hope. The other day I received from Burniah a Buddhist paper, the journal of the Maha Bodlii Society. In it appears a description of a festival attended by native rulers, devotees, and an immense number of people, whose deep joy and interest, it is said, were excited by the exhibition of a footprint of Buddha. The stone is to be placed on a hill top, and a magnificent building erected over it. We share together the inevitable search. We, too, look for footprints — not that we may enshrine the stone, but follow the track ; and the print of the bleeding feet is to be found — where ? In places where lost ones wander, by sick beds whei-e the weary suffer, where little children wait to be blessed, the ignorant to be taught, the oppressed to be freed, and the bonds of wickedness wait to be unloosed. The Saviour of the world came once to us, loved, forgave, restored us, and said, "Love as I have loved." If we see another have need, and we have no compassion, how dwelleth the love of God in us ? The next speaker was from Barisal, Bengal, MI8S MARY HAYAVARD, who said : — The place fi-om which I come is near Calcutta, and there are many Mussulmans there and many Brahinos. I say this, because I cannot tell 390 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. you that I have over had very much to do with idolatry. I have met people who worship idols, but I have not really had much close heart-to- heart talk with them, because it has been in the boat during our evangelistic tours that I have chiefly met with them. In the place where I live, the Brahmo Somaj is in full force ; it has a meeting-house, its Sunday-school, its periodicals — for children and women — and it professes to be open to the hearing of all truth. Consequently it has been my joy and x^rivilege to read the New Testament in the houses of the women of the Brahmo Somaj . The Brahmos have done away mth the zenana system ; they are not much fettered with the joint family system, as they have, most of them, had to leave their ancestral Hindu homes on account of their Theistic jirinciples ; husbands, wives, brothers, and sisters may sit down to one common table, and I can converse freely with them all, in the presence of each other, just as I could in an English household. Now, these things are good, so far as they go, but we want them to go fui'ther, and pray and hope that these poor bewildered men and women may come out into the full light of the Gospel. Many of them, however, are prevented by pride and false jiatriotism from accepting a crucified Saviour. Before I leave this subject of the Brahmo Somaj, I would say we must not forget that it was through the indirect influence of Christianity that this Society came into being. It was from Christianity that it got the idea of public worship, and the family life which we find among Brahmos, besides much else which is good. In so far, we would be thankful to God. Let me say that my heart went with what Miss Kinnaird said, just now, about medical missions. Our dear Miss Deane, who died of cholera at Barisal, though she gave ten years to preparation for the work which was nearest to her heart, yet could never succeed with the language ; but she learned the language of the people's hearts, and she lived the life of Christ among them. I think, after all, that that was better ; at any rate, it produced a great effect on the people, and by nothing was that effect so deepened as by her medical work. I used to have the privilege of going with her to translate for her, and I remember once, when she had sat up two nights and part of a day with a difficult case, that a native gentleman, the patient's husband, followed us to our conveyance, and thanked us in a most moved way, saying, "I do not know A\'hat to say to you. You have neither eaten, drunk, nor slej^t till you saw the end of this. We have no such things (he meant such skill and devotion) among us." I said, "There are reasons for that. These things are common enough in Christian society." A case like this is not forgotten by the natives, but a great deal of self-denial is required on the part of the medical missionaries, and the strain of responsibility in a troj)ical climate is sometimes severe — more so than people at home think. The work may be trying, but it pays. THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. o97 I had to do not only with Brahmos, but with philosophic Hindus. I Avill tell you of one of whom I was veiy fond. She and I were dear friends, and we still coiTcspond. She used to read the Testament with me, and she was very troubled in her mind about the claims of Christ. One day we were reading in the chapter of John's Gosjjel where He says, "Before Abraham was, I am '' — thus, in a sense, appropriathig the title of Jehovah ; and it struck her very much. She said nothing to me about it for some time, but when sitting with her one day she remarked, "I have been talking to my husband about Jesus Christ using God's title. I have been looking for a parallel in the annals of our Hindu saints, and my husband has found one. There was one who sat and meditated on Divine things till he (became lost in God) went about saying, ' I am He, I am He I ' " I tell you that to give you an example of the way in which these people pairy the truth and play with it instead of receiving it. I am sure that when we try to deal with them we very nmch need your prayers. Let me tell you of another very interesting woman I used to see a good deal of. She was the discii^le of a certain Gooroo. I should say that a Gooroo is a mediator between God and man. It is better to offend God than yoiu- Gooroo ; for if you offend God the Gooroo may intercede for you, but if you offend the Gooroo there is no hope for you at all. The Gooroo is generally a Brahmin priest, but in this instance he was not. His picture was always kept before her ujjon her wall, just as a'Christian might keep a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was shocking to me to hear her talk of this man, for she would speak of him just as a loyal Christian would speak of Jesus. I never realised till then what Gooroo -worship really is. She told me his story in this way. He was very unhappy in his mind at one period of his history — so imhappy that for relief he joined the Brahmo Somaj. But this ste^j was of no use ; he could find no cure there for his awakened conscience. Then he went into the Himalayas to dwell by himself, and seek reconciliation with God, but ho found it not. In despair he, one day, said to himself, " Why did I come into the world if I can never find reconciliation, or absorption in the Divine Being 'l " (The word he used may denote either of these meanings.) He went to the side of a precipice, and Avas about to end his life by throwing himself over, Avhen an unknoAvn someone stopped him and said, " Do not destroy yourself, but take the Joga (or Yoga) inontro." The troubled man objected, "But I am not a Hindu." (The prac- tice of Yoga, or intense meditation till the soul becomes one with God, is a Hindu practice.) "Never mind," replied the unknown man, "you take it" ; and he whispered the Yoga montro into the other's ear, after the maimer of Gooroos initiating disciples. The Gooroo having taken the montro, then began to practise Yoga; he probably sat for many hours at a stretch upon a tiger-skin, and gazed 398 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. iixL'dly at the tip uf liis nose. Because of this he buuaiiie greatly esteemed as a saint. My Hindu lady friend further said: "One day, while he was doing this he had a vision of your Lord Jesus Christ ; He was sitting on a golden throne, and so great was His beauty and glory that when the Gooroo attempted to describe it he found no words, but the tears ran down his face. Do you think," she asked, "that we (His disciples) coidd see Jesus ? Since our Gooroo has told us that he has seen Him, we, too, desii-e to see Him ; for sm-ely if the Gooroo has had this vision, the disciples may also have it. Do you think, that if we were very holy, we might see Him 1' " I read to them from Revelation the vision of St. John the Divine. Then I read to them the story of the Saviour's interview with Thomas, where He says, "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed," and remarked, "Possibly we do not see Jesus now, that we may be more blessed in the end. "We are learning now to walk by faith " ; and tried to show her that if she were made pure in heart, one day she would see Christ for herself. She seemed deeply in- terested. Shortly after I went for a change into the hills. I wrote to her from there, saying, "I have often talked to Jesus about you while I have been here, in solitude." "When I went home, she said, " Oh, tell me, did you find Jesus there ? " After that I had to be careful with regard to the words I used. Let us pray that that Gooroo and his disciples may be led to see Jesus, not in the sense in which they wish to see Him, but rather that they may have faith's vision that will take away sin, and will lead them on, and up, luitil their faith " improve to sight." There was much more which I wished to tell you, but the time is going. With Zenana work has grown school work ; we have many schools now, both in Calcutta and in other parts of the country. In Barisal there is a large school of seventy Christian girls. "We have also of late begun to do evangelistic work. "We have a boat in the Backergunge district, called the il/esae/^yer of Peace, which is some- thing like the Thames house-boats (but, of coui'se, very much smaller), in which we go up and down the livers and creeks, and over the flooded countrjs and visit the towns and villages ; and those of us who can take a month's leave from our regular work, and in whom the evangelistic lire burns, have taken it in turns, during certain months of the year, to go out on tour. "When we can get into the zenanas we do, and if we cannot get into the large houses we go to the low-caste women, whose homes we can easily enter. We also try to dispense such simple medi- cines as Ave know of and understand. This boat work is now in the hands of Mrs. Williamson, and she invites those members of our Mission who are like-minded to join her in the evangelistic tours in the cold TtlE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 399 Weather, aurl in work among the Christians in the Hoodeil i-it;o-s\vanqis during the rains. Everywliere the h'aven of the Kingdom is working. I am ghid to say that the other day I asked a man on board one of our Bengal river steamers, " Did you ever hear of Jesus Christ 'i " And he said, in rejjly, "Hear of Jesus Christy I should like to know who hasn't heard of Jesus Christ — that name which is in every bazaar where your people are preaching I " So you see the missionaries are doing their work. And now, what do the natives themselves say about Zenana missions !' I will tell you what a man and then what a woman of my acquaintance said. Once, on board one of our steamers, a gentleman, a secret believer for many yeai's, a high-caste Brahmin, but afraid to confess Chiist for fear of being " put out of the synagogue," Avas talking to one of our missionaries (of the Bai>tist Missionary Society), and said, " What can you be about not to have more Zenana missionaries 'i Why, you have only one in this town " (speaking of Baiisal). " It is very strange ; you know they will do more than you can by your bazaar preaching." Now, I should not like to endorse that, I only quote his words. That man used to be constantly sending me messages, through his wife, to teach her all about Christ, and she became a believer, and I wanted to baptize, or get her baptized, ere I came away, but she left home on a long visit. I do not know whether she will get her husband's consent to be baptized. I was once talking to the disciple of that very Gooroo of Vv-lioni I have spoken about visiting her oftener, and she said, " You might come more than once a week, I think ; I cannot remember all you say fi'oiu Aveek to week, and it is difficult for aue to read the New Testament for myself. " I replied, "Ah, but I have so many other houses to go to. You know that Jesus said, "Go ye into all the Avorld and preach the Gospel to every creature ; there are so many who have not heard, that it is impossible for me to come to you more than once a week." She added, " Wliat are the people in England about 'i They should send out a great many more of you." I said, "That is just what I feel, I eamiot think what they are about I There are so many of them, and so few of us." She replied — and oh, friends, I would like to leave her message with you, because "more things are wrought by prayer than this world di-eams of " — " Pray for us." I answered, "We do pray for you ; we have a weekly prayer-meeting, and we Christian women meet together and pray for you all, and the people in England do it too, for they love you and think of you." " Well," she said, " let them pray for us by all means." Just one more T.^ord, and I close. Last December twelvemonth I was up in the North-West, in Delhi, and a Zenana missionary came home saying there was great excitement among her Mussulman pujjils, o^ving to tlie fact that it was said that a voice from heaven had been heard in 400 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. the Mosque at Mecca, which announced that Jesus Christ's second coining was near. I think that that week was fixed as the time of His coming ; and the Mussulmans were in great state of perturbation lest they should be ashamed before Him. You know that it is an article of the faith of every tnae Mohammedan that Jesus Christ will come again to judge the world ; and Hindus, too, have often assured me that this "black age" is quickly coming to an end, and that the time for Vishnu's last incarnation — the spotless or blameless — incarnation is nearly come, and that when he appears, all men will be brothers, and caste will be done away with, and all evil and hatred will be put away ; in short, the Millennium, the " age of truth or righteousness," will come in. They are taught this from certain of theii' own scriptures, I believe. When we think of Hindus and Mussulmans preparmg fur the end of this world in that way, and believing it so near, should we not ask ourselves, "Are we ready to meet the Saviour at His Coming?" Surely, it IS near. The Gospel is certainly being preached as a witness to every nation, and we read that when that has been done, "the end shall come." All too soon it will be here. I say, "all too soon," because, perhaps, we shall be ashamed before Him that we have not done more for Him ; we shall feel, " Oh, if I could only go back to the old sin-stricken earth to show Him my love to Him in some more earnest way than ever I did before I What would I not give for another chance I " It seems to me that we shall hardly be happy in heaven ; we shall hardly be happy at His feet, if we have not done our utmost in this life to spread the knowledge of His Name. Dear friends, let us do it. MISS HARRIET K. LEIGH, from Orissa, then spoke as under : — Christian Friends, — I have been asked to speak to you about thti country of Orissa and the work there, Avith which I have been connected for nineteen years. Orissa is in India. I emphasise this because, since my return, I have been asked if Orissa is in Russia. Itihes between Cal- cutta and Madras. The language is spoken by about eight millions of peujjle. Dr. Carey gave the Bible to Orissa. When the first missionaries began their work of evangelisation in the province, it is thus described: — "One dark night of sin and sorrow, cruelty and misery, overspread the land. Idolatry and vileness every- where met the eye, assailed the ear, and grieved the heart. The whole land was emphatically the region and shadow of death." In 1.S3G orphanages were established by the missionaries with six boys and three girls. Some months after 2o0 children, who were intended as human sacrifices, were rescued by Government officials from the hill tribes in the THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 401 Khond country, and eighty-nine of these were sent to the Cuttack Mission Orphanage. Later on a dii-e and devastating famine spread over the land, and 1,500 children were rescued and distributed among the mission-schools in Balasoi-o, Piplee, Cuttack, and Borhampore. In this wonderful way God opened up the path for His truth to take root among the people. All these rescued children were at once brought into the arms of the missionaries ; at once lost their caste and came under Christian instruction and training. We have had abundant proofs of the blessing of God in the Christian families and communities, and |Christian homes formed by those who have left these schools. Others have taken up Christian work among women, as Sunday-school teachers, Bible- women, and teachers in day-schools ; and others, who are widows, have qualified themselves for medical work. During the past nine years there has been a very great advance in Orissa as regards education. There are several Government schools for girls in Cuttack, and in these schools reading the Word of God and religious teaching are prohibited ; but although the Christian teachers are not allowed to read the Bible to their Hindu pupils, they have many opportunities of speaking to them of Christ, and the way of sal- vation through Him. There is, in the Missionary Herald for this month, a very interesting account of a girl who attended one of the schools, and was led to believe in Christ through the influence of the Christian teacher. When the day came, on which they were holding an idolatrous festival, she refused to join in the ceremonies, and had to con- fess before her friends that she was a Christian. Persecution followed, and every means taken to make her renounce her new faith, but she remained firm. She said to one of the zenana ladies afterwards, "When my friends were arguing with me I told them I did not know enough to argue with them, but I did know that Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross for me, and I was willing to leave all for Him." She is now in the Mission Orphanage, and desires to devote her life and abilities to the service of Jesus Christ, and to work for Him. The Bible-women during the hot and rainy seasons visit the heathen villages around Cuttack, and during the cold season they visit distant villages in the province. Miss Barrass, who has the directing of these Bible-women, often goes with them on these itinerating tours, and told me the heathen women received them with joy, and eagerly listened to the message of God's love. The spirit of inquiry and the sense of dis- satisfaction Avith their own religion, and the desire to know the truth is apparent on every hand. We have in Cuttack a native Sunday-school of boys and girls, numbering over 300, and the teachers are native men and women. The superintendent is a native Christian, who takes the deepest interest in Sunday-school work. One other fact I must bring befoie you. Oi-is?a is a large pro- 402 THE CENTEFARY CELEBKATION. vince, and Cuttack, the capital, has a population of 50,000 people, and there are only three ladies working in this town — Mrs. Buckley, who has for fifty years devoted her life, energies, and means to mission work, and who is cai-rying on the school while I am absent ; Miss Barrass, who has been out ten years, and has the superintendence of the Bible-women and Zenana work ; and Miss Thatcher, who has recently gone out and is associated with Miss Ban-ass. I am glad to tell you that another lady is leaving this month to take up my work in the Orphanage. We have other large stations. Bei'hampore, chief to^Ti of Ganjam, has only one lady missionaiy ; Sumbulpur, in the Central Provinces, only one lady missionary ; and at nine out-stations no missionary or lady worker. I feel it laid upon my heart to appeal to those who are present to bear these friends in prayer before the Lord. If those who are interested in missionaiy work would, when they read the reports, look out the places on the map, and pray for the workers individually, it would be a link which would make this great work more real to them. There is svich a need for Avorkers, such a vast field, and the desire is now so widespread to hear the Gospel among the women. They wish the girls to be taught to read ; and if they learn to read, the Bible is an open book to them. I hope you will take an interest in Orissa. It is so little known, and on that ground has. perhaps, been less laid upon your hearts. In Orissa is the city of Piu'i ; there is the great shrine of Juggernaut. We rejoice to know that now there are fewer pilgrims than formerly ; still numbers go every year in the hope of gaining peace and happiness and heaven. As the light of God's truth spreads, so this shrine of idolatry and wickedness will be less visited. May the time be hastened when " the idols shall be iitterly abolished." MISS GERALDINE aUINNESS next rose, and said : — Dear Christian Friends, — The last time I stood upon this platform was on the eve of my departure for China, nearly live years ago. I feel it a great privilege to be here to-day and to join in sympathy with the memorable meetings that are being held to commemorate the Centenary of this great Society. We are not here to pay honour to men so much as to encourage one another in God, and record what God has wrought. What solemn days these are in which we live I Oh, how they appeal to every one of us — days of crisis, days of climax — the last days, as we have heard already. This great missionary work, begun only one hundred years ago, circles the globe, and is surely the forerunner of the coming of our blessed Master. We have to turn our attention for a few moments to China this after- noon, and I have been thinking much of China as it was one himdred THE .MKFrnXdS IX LONDON. 403 years ago, and as it is to-day. Oh, what a mai-vellous change God has wrought for that mighty people I Suffer me for a moment to call your attention to the facts as they were one hundred years ago. China was then, as you know, a sealed empire. No jiolitical relations existed between that vast country and other parts of the world. It had no outside connections of any sort whatever of counnerce or politics, and there were no missions. The Roman Catholic Mission which had for many hundreds of years held its own, more or less, in that great empire, had been almost exterminated by the very bitter persecutions of the eighteenth century, and at the time of the French Revolution there scarcely remained a vestige of the Roman Catholic faith in China, and, as you know, Protestant missions were then imbom. And in England, oh, what a contrast to the present ! Wilberforce at that time had not yet attacked the slave trade, Howard had not reformed prisons, Raikes, as you know, had not attempted to found Simday-schools, Ave had no city missions, no ragged schools, and no missions to the heathen, and how totally closed the door of service Avas against women. In our day, what a change ! There is that vast empire of China open to us from end to end, and when I say to iis, I mean to women. There are thousands of Christians scattered throughout its length and bi-eadth — nearly 40,000 Christians and about 1,500 missionaries, fully half of the latter being ladies. God has thrown open to us Avidely the door of opportimity, and as we look back over this hundred years, surely our hearts must thrill to see what possibilities He has put within our reach. Oh, dear friends, surely God is moving for the evangelisation of the world I Let us see to it that we get, every one of us, on to the lines upon Avhich God is Avorking, and our lives Avill be fruitful and be blest. I Avant to say hoAv glad I am to see this meeting to-day — a Avoman's meeting. I did not know that there Avould be any gentlemen present here. We are very glad to welcome them, but this, I take it, is a woman's meeting, and it seems to me that the work of missions is supremely a wnman^s ^norh. Dear friends, sin came into the world through a Avoman, and a AVoman gave the SaAdour to the Avorld. I have often thought hoAv wonderful it is that Avhen God came doAvn to save the world He should seb man, so to speak, on one side, and do it through a Avoman. "We Av imen are responsible, every one of us, in our sphere, according to our possibilities, to cfivc the Saviour to the irorhl. That is our calling, and I d ) Avant to say that surely the standard of consecration is just as high f jr us women as for men. We think of the life of a Carey, of a Living- stone, of a Morrison, of a Paid, and Ave see Avhat a glorious, noble life- Avork these men left behind them— AA'hat consecration, Avhat devotion to the service of God I But is the standard any one single whit less high for us ? Does not consecration to the service of God call upon us for the same life? Oh, dear friends, is not there the mime jmver for ns ? What 2G* iOi THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. was it tliat energised the life of St. Paul, the first and perhaps the noblest of missionaries ? What was it, indeed, that filled our blessed Lord Himself, and made it possible for Him to live such a consecrated, devoted life from Bethlehem to Calvary 't We know; v\^e are told. And we have the very same power, each one of us to-day. We are told of our Master that, "through the Eternal Spirit," He "offered Himself unto God." The Holy Ghost was the energising power of the life of Christ, and the life of Paul, and the life of Carey ; and the same Holy Spirit is the energy and power of your life and mine, sisters, to-day I And if we are filled with the Spirit of God, there wUl be no limit to Avhat God can do through us. Oh, is that consecration ours ? Are we filled with that spirit ? Have we that mighty power in our lives, dear sisters ? Are we putting highest things in the light of eternity ? Are we giving ourselves body and soul to Jesus Christ to fill us, and to use us as He would ? The world calls for us, God calls for us, and I want to repeat one little word of Paul's, "I am debtor." Paul said it, Paul felt it, Paul lived it; "Jaw dMor," debtor to the Jews and to the Greeks, to the bond and to the freo ; and we are debtors to all the world without Christ to give them to the Saviour. We are debtors, oh ! we are debtors — not debtors to the possibility of the powers that we now possess — but debtors largely to the fall extent of Divine possibiliti/. God requires from you and me not what we can give, not what we are able to do — oh ! no, far more : He requires from us all that He can do through us. We are debtors surely, sisters, to the full extent of the possibilities of Divine grace, and who shall limit these ? We look abroad over the heathen world; we think of the 200 millions of women in China, so many of them utterly beyond the reach of the Gospel ; we think of our own weakness and insufiiciency ; we realise our need — for who of us is living the life we know we should live — but in spite of all, we are debtors to the utmost extent of the power of God ; and oh I if we will give our lives to Him, if we wiU just lay them at His feet in full surrender, if we will count nothing dear to us that we may serve and follow Him, God can fill us as we have never yet been filled. God can fill our lives — the weakest of us — with the power of the Holy Spirit, and work through us the accomplishment of His own design. Oh ! will you not mth me to-day, on this memorable day, celebrate the Centenary by fresh consecration and by crying to God to fill us with the power of the Holy Spirit, which alone can be sufficient for this great, great work I There is so much upon one's heart to say that where to begin and where to leave off is the difficulty, when one thinks about China. Six months ago I stood on the shores of that great land, recalled to England by a sudden telegi-am, announcing my beloved mother's illness, and I had to leave suddenly for this country. I am hoping in a very little while to return, and my heart is filled with thankfulness to-day to THE MEETINGS IX LONDON. 405 understand that your great Society is thinking of taking up more earnestly than ever the work of women in China. Dear friends, when I heard upon this platform that at present you had no single sister at work in China for the millions of women in that great land, I could scarcely believe it. Is it possible this great denomination blessed of God at home, counting such hmidreds and thousands of Christian women in its ranks, has not stretched forth its hands to save the millions of our sisters in that great land in a direct work for women ? These things should not be, and it is with the deepest thankfulness I understand this is not to continue. Let me say one thing, dear friends. Twenty-five years ago I understand that the Zenana Mission was commenced in India by your representatives. A quarter of a century I And much has been done for which we bless God with all our hearts. But a quarter of a century has rolled by in China Avhere the same work has not been undertaken. Have we lost ground that wo never can regain ? Dear sisters, if you start frourthis meeting to-night — if here before God you consecrate your life to the salvation of the women of China, and start from this meeting to-night — before you can reach the shores of that great Empire on the other side of the world, a million and a quarter of precious souls iviU have passed out intotlie darkness of an unhnoivn eternity. And twenty-five years have gone by while you have been at work in India, but not going further afield to the regions beyond, after these perishing souls ! What an incalculable number are already beyond our reach ! In China God has been doing great things. Only twenty-six years ago the Mission with which I am connected was started, and when that first party of missionaries, who went out in connection with the China Inland Mission, were on their journey to China, if you will believe it, there were only — how many mission stations do you think, in the whole Empii-e of China, from north to south, and from east to west ? How many mission stations do you suppose there were, twenty-five years ago ? Only fifteen. But this last quarter of a century has witnessed marvellous things. Now the stations of our own Mission only number 170, and all over that empire, from end to end, there are hundreds and hundreds more. God has not been standing still during these twenty-five years, and during the next quarter of a century the evangelisation of that land will go on with tenfold accelerated speed. I congratulate you, dear friends, that you are to have a share in the work of saving these women. Earnestly would I beseech you to throw your whole souls into it, not to send out two or three, or half a dozen, but to send out scores of women. God will give them to you. God will give the means to equip and support them. Send them out with your hearts' affections and sympathies and prayers to back them up. Let them go into your stations. I know well about tlu; blessed work that God has given you 406 THE CENTEKARV CELEBRATION. do ill China. I know you have scores of stations in which there ai'e native Christians who would welcome these sisters and help them in their service. God has given you some thousands of Christians there — a mighty field, a mighty opening before the sisters that you may send. Send not a few. Speed them forth and God will bless them. China wants women to-day. I have been for four years in China and have seen with my own eyes the condition of things there. It has been my piivilege to travel throughout six of the provinces — long jom-neys to the far interior— and one of the profoundest impressions left upon my mind is that China is open to the work of women. I have travelled myself alone with native helpers, with a native man and a Christian woman, thousands of mdes through that land. I have travelled six weeks from the heart of China down to the coast with only another English sister and the native helpers to care for us, and it is perfectly possible ; the thing can be done. And there are many stations in China where there are ladies living and working alone without the help of any gentleman missionaries, and being blessed of God. China is as much o]3en to our efforts, I might almost say, as Europe is — certainly as much so as some of the places to which the lasses of the Salvation Army go. We can travel and settle amongst the people, and China needs the work of Christian women supremely to-day. Oh ; if one could tell you the blessings that result from it ; if I could only give you instances of what has come under my own notice — but time does not suffice. The need is so great, the blessings are so great, the possibilities are so great — are there not some here this afternoon deep down in whose hearts there is a longing to go '^ Oh, the Gospel is what they need. I have found such a sweetness and such an appropriateness in the Gospel to the needs of the people that at times 1 have been quite astonished. It just seems to fit the needs of the hearts of these women as a key fits a lock. They drink it in ; it is what they want. I remember one night coming down the Han River, and our boat was anchored by the side of a great many other boats outside a large city ; and in the evening, after supj)er, the women from the neighbouring boats came on to ours for a talk, and just to see what the foreigners were like. Of coiu'se we were in native dress, and travelled altogether in their style, so there was not very much to see. After a few minutes they said, "Now, what have you come for?" and very glad we were to set to work and tell them the Gospel. An hour or two went by, and some half a dozen of those women stayed on and on, some of them profoundly interested. The Spirit of God Was working in their hearts ; one felt that, and there was such an ease in putting the Gospel before them. At last, as it got very late, I said to them, "Now we must say good-night, because to-morrow morning, at daybreak, we continue our journey ; but do not forget these things." They said, " No, we never THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 407 will." An hour ur two later I was lyiiig awake iu the boat listening to the rush of the water as it went by, and I heard the women in the next boat to ours talking to one another. The boats were lying so close together that we could hear quite distinctly. I heard one say, "Now, do not let us forget these things which we have heard to-night. Jesus Christ died to save us from our sins. Do remember; do remember." I recollect the very words she used in Chinese. They talked about it a little while, and then seemed to go to sleep again ; but a young girl who had been of the little company was awake stUl, and I heard her talking to herself in the silence of the night, repeating a few sentences that we had been teaching them that put the Gospel very clearly. She was say- ing them over to herself : ' ' Jesus can forgive sins, Jesus tenderly cares for us, Jesus can keep us in peace, and after death lead us to heaven." They had never heard it before ; but they could not forget, and I do not beHeve they ever will forget it. And there in the silence of the night, on board that httle boat, out in the rapid river, they were remembering these precious truths. I tell you that it sent a thrill to my heart, and I myself shall never forget it. We parted next morning, but I expect to see them again. And that is only an instance oi seed sown by the way- side ; and here is this vast comitry waiting for the Gospel. Do you realise how great it is ? Let me tell you one fact about the population of China. If you wili open this Bible and begin at the first chapter of Genesis, and coimt the chapters to the last of Eevelation ; go further, and count the verses, and then the words, and then aU the Idlers in this sacred volume — what a Herculean task I When would you ever get through it 'f Yes ; but to reach the sum of the population of China you must do it more than once, more than twice, more than ten times ; do it twenty, fifty, sixty times ; do it more than (I'l/hfi/ tiini's, before you Avill reach the jjopulation of that vast land. More than the letters of eighty Bibles, and every Chinese a soul that Jesus loves, and who never can hear of Him until we go to tell them. And put with it this other fact, that there /« jidsitireli/ tnore money spent on drink in Enyland in one day than un missions tu China in Jive yearts. Should these things be so 'f Oh, we are debtors I we are debtors 1 Let us discharge our obligation to God and to that people. May I, in closing, put with that thought one other? St. Paul did not alone say, " I am debtor" ; he went fur- ther, and said, " As much as in me is " — to the full extent of my powers, and of the possibilities of the indwelling spirit — " as much as in me is, lam ready; lam ready ^ I am sure there are hearts here this after- noon which say, "lam ready." Oh I dear sisters, let us all take that blessed message of one whose life was given to this work, and say, " //' (Jud will »h(juj me anythiny I can do for the salvation of the ivorld that I Jiave not yet attemjded, by Hii yrace I will do it at once." 408 ' THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. MRS. S. COULING, of Shantung, was the next speaker. She said : — Dear Friends, — I believe I am the only one among the speakers who represents the j)arent Society. I am afraid our China Mission is not as T/ell known as it should be. I do not suppose everybody here knows that the work just now being done in China is only seventeen years old. I am very anxious that Miss Guinness's remarks as to the needs of China should not be taken in any way as throwing discredit upon the Zenana Society. The very object, I believe, for which the Society was formed was to send the Gospel to women in India and China. If there is any faiilt in this delay, it is in the judgment of the missionaries on the field. There are very many difficult problems to be faced, dear friends, when you open up new ground, and it was the wish of the greater part of the missionai'ies on the field that a considerable native church should be gathered first in it, from which single lady workers could do their work. That time has come I China is a big place, and it is veiy hard not to generalise ; I hope you will understand that what I say relates to the province of Shantung. It has often seemed to me a very Avonderful proof of the solidity and integrity of the mission cause that you can make anything in the world an argument for going on with it. If we fail, we say, " Send us more men — ' China,' or ' Africa,' or ' India ' — for Christ." If we succeed, we say that God has set before us an open door. I have the pleasure of saying to-day that it is because of success that I am here pleading with you this afternoon for help for China. "We have only been working seventeen years in the interior. The work has always gone well, not, of course, as v/ell as we could v^dsh, because we should like to see a whole nation born in a day; still last year we baptized 500. These people had been for eighteen months on probation. This year, I understand, there are from 360 to 400 people who arc to be baptized. I find that people do not even know very widely that the Zenana Society is going to take up China. Of course that proves at once that the people do not read their Heralds as they should, and I hope very much that amongst the other good things that these Centenary meetings do, they will lead every Ba]3tist to read the Missivnari/ Herald every month. The Zenana Society is going to take up China, and I have been asked to stand here partly to answer this question : " What do you want done in China i-' " Of course in China we do not have zenanas in the same way as they do in India. The women of the upper classes are kept pretty secluded, but, at the same time, you could not compare it at all, I believe, to Indian zenanas. What we want in China, dear friends, is six or eight ladies, as God opens your hearts to give us the money, and as God v/ill open women's hearts to come, to do the surplus work which THE MEETINOrS IN LOXDOX. 400 the missiouaries" wives cannot do. AVe will all do our best, every one of us, but the women of China, at least in my part of China, are very ready to hear the Gospel. The work is very great on all hands. I niys(>lf have to put all the bulk of my time into the boys' school. I love doing it, but sometimes I wish I had two lives : the other should be the Chinese women's life. We want some people who will come out and teach these Christian women — we have 1,700 baptized Christians, and we shall have 2,000 by the end of this year, and there are a great number of women among them who truly love Jesus, but who are very ignorant. We have young girls growing up in those Christian homes, such bright girls — the women are dull, they have never been taught, poor things ; but the girls are the hope of the womanhood of China, and we Avant somebody to go and teach them, who will go round and make friends with everybody, who will sit in the Chinese Christian women's houses and listen to the com- plaints and sometimes to the wearisome talk of the Chinese Christian women's friends, for the sake of telling them about Christ afterwards. I know this is the end of our meeting, and that I nmst not speak long, else I could tell you something about the soitows of the women of China, about the bitter poverty that crushes life and hope and health and strength out of them. I could tell you of the ignorance in which they are. One woman in 173 in India can read; in China it is one woman in 20,000. I could tell you of the degradation of the sex there. It is true that the Chinese have got into a way of worshipping their fathers and mothers, and it has been a great comfort to our sex and a great help in preserving it from the lowest dej)ths. The Chinese do worshij? theii- mothers, and until they worship God they could not worship anybody better. I often think that the bound feet of these poor women are just an emblem of their maimed souls, of a whole life's possibilities which have been thwarted. We want helj) for them. But I do not want to speak about their sorrows to-day, because, of course, after all, many of you know a great deal about them. You have read all sorts of books ; you have read "China's IVIillions"; you have heard missionaries times and again tell you of them, I doubt not. I do not even Avish to speak of that deeper sorrow, that great blot of sin which Ave see, all of us, every day in forms in Avhich it does not appear in England, but as I must only speak of one thing in such a little time, I would like to tell you a little about the aspirations of these women in China. Oh, what a mistake we make when we plead to God in our prayers, as if it Avere Ave Avho had the good heart and not He I God is preparing the Avorld for Himself. He is ijreparing the heathen Avorld for us. The leaven is at work there. I am often so thankful that the Apostle John said, " God is light," and I often think that Avhenever a heart can open out just a little the blessed light shines in. I have seen 410 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. China ? We want women who fear God and love Christ ; a woman who will be patient with these women ; who is not too proud, on occasion, to it, dear friends, again and again. These women are groping in their own poor, blind way after something better. I go into the Buddhist temple on the first and fifteenth of every month, and there is not a man there, unless he is ill, or his son is dying ; but there are the women worshijjping and saying then- poor, silly prayers. Many and many a time the women come into our house, and I offer them tea and such small cakes as the custom of the country demands that we should offer. I find very often that a woman refuses the cake, lest there should be a little animal oil in it, a little lard. They are heaping up merit, they say, and they never eat any food from an animal soui'ce. Then I find that they make a merit of not looking at the new moon. This is all religion gone wrong, dear friends ; but still it shows that they have a heart for religion, that they have a capacity for religion, and feel the need .of it. I wish that I could tell you how sweet it is to be among those Chinese women. Of course they are dirty. (So would you be if you had no better chances than they, if you had no soap, no hot water, no towels, and no privacy. You would not wash.) One soon forgets that when one finds out how glad they are of a kind word. I have sometimes heard it said, when a foreign lady has been in a house for the first time, that her face is like the face of their Goddess of Mercy. She is the darling of the rehgious China woman's heart, that Goddess of Mercy of the Buddhist religion. She had attained all things that were necessary according to the Buddhist idea, and had led all the good lives which brought her to the gate of heaven; and just as she was going in she turned her head, and saw all the suJBFering and perishing millions below, and she went back to help them. She would not go in. It is a noble stoiy, and to be told that your face is like hers is a compliment that nobody in England will ever i^ay you. These people have very tender hearts. Before I went to China I iised to hear that the people would cry over the sufferings of Christ, and I did not quite believe it — at least I thought that it might not be true ; but the very first time that I told the story of Christ to a Chinese woman, in my broken Chinese, I saw her bosom heave and her eyes grow dim ; and when I told her how Christ was mocked as He hung on the cross, she said, " Tell me no more. I cannot bear that they should treat Him so." Surely somebody will come and help us to teach those women. Suppose that a rich man saw his brother in poverty and misery. Suppose that the rich man knew that his brother was really heir to an estate in Chancery, though he did not know it, what should we think of the rich man who went on spending his money and never told his brother ? It seems to me that that is just our position, dear sisters. We have the incalculable blessings of the Gospel. What should be thought of us if we will not even let our sisters know that tliey have THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 411 a like inheritance, wliicli will not make ours any the less, Lut will surely increase it 'i You know that we have what they need. It was a very blessed thing that I was told by a heathen, that this Chiistianity was so catching that even the missionaries' heathen servants treated their wives well. That is one of the indirect results of missionary work in China. We have listened to such earnest appeals in these CVnitenary meet- ings at Kettering, at Nottingham, here and there up and down the country, where meetings such as this have been held, that I feel that a weak woman like myself cannot say another word that will help. I have listened to appeals that, it seemed to me, would move the nether millstone — such appeals as will make me go back to China full of energy for having heard them. I would like, in my way, just to si)eak to my sisters. I do not know that women have been appealed to so much — there have not been so many women's meetings. You do not know the hideous possibilities of a life without God and without Christ. Your life — oh ! it is so beautiful here. When I first came back from China it seemed so wonderful to see the way that women are treated at home. How beautiful it is that we should walk these streets erect and free, and go where we please, and there is no one to misconstrue our motives. All men that are worth anything reverence vt^omen here. I have been astounded afresh going up and down the country, in railway stations. and what not, to see the small courtesies that men of every rank will render to women for the sake of mother or sister or sweetheart. These things are not known in China, dear sisters. Women's life in England is so different. I am speakmg of women of the middle classes mostly ; but even those who have not been accustomed to what we call luxury lead such a lace -handkerchief kind of life. I know those things that are so dear to a woman's heart. It is beautiful to have cupboards full of fine linen and lace and beautiful jewellery, and so forth ; but is it not time that we gave up talking about the widow's mite and began about the alabaster box of ointment r" That widow's mite is a noble story. It was meant for the encouragement of the Greenwich jjensioner, who has not got much to give ; it was meant for the consolation of the old woman on parish pay ; it was never meant for people like you. Let us have the alabaster box of ointment, dear fiiends. I have great confidence in women. I love speaking to them. Their faces respond better than the men's do. Dear sisters, I do want to know if we women of the nineteenth century, with oui' civilised advantages, our education, our Christianity, our position, have been brought so high just to enjoy ourselves ? Surely it was to help our sisters. I have been told, at least it was a little bird that told me — it did not appear in print — that already there are promises for China ; already some means are at hand. Two could go out the beginning of next year, I think, if they were here. Is there no one in this meeting who could empty herself of a little of all those things and go otit to 412 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. eat their food ; wlio will sit down by them while they mend their poor clothes, and take up a needle and help them ; who will talk to them in their own way about Christ and His message of love. Surely there will be some here, I cailnot but think, who will go. I see that I have run out my time, but should like to re-echo Miss Guimiess's word, and just say that I cannot tell what your gift to Christ should be, and you cannot tell what mine should be ; but let us all re- consecrate ourselves to Him. Surely there is nothing that even a nineteenth centuiy woman has that is too good to give to Christ. Let it be the alabaster box of ointment, dear friends. All that we have, all that we are, all that by His grace we may be — let us offer it for Him and for the world. Mr. Baynes then introduced the ladies who were leaving for India in connection with the Zenana Missionary Society. He said : — There are four ladies here on my right who in a few days will be traversing the sea, bearing the lamp of light and life to their sisters in the dark homes of India. I want you to look at them and to remember them, and recall them when they are far away from home and friends. Miss Wrigley comes from Bradford. She is a member of Mr. Skemp's church. How I wish that I could stand here and read out the list of Baptist churches and say, "There is a zenana worker from each one." Her father was called to his rest and reward years ago, but the memory of his ministry is finding its echo and its fruition in the work of his daughter. God bless her I Miss Pike comes from London. I am glad that London is sending out some missionaries. We want a great quickening up in London, om- churches do and we do. Miss Pike comes from Walworth, is a member of the Walworth Eoad Chapel, and has won the affection and the esteem of all the friends there. Her father has devoted his life to Christ's work in the City Mission labour, and his daughter has been his help. I am sure that we wish her God-speed. Miss Gleazer comes from Streatham, and is a member of Mr. Ewen's church. She is well known to all our friends at Highgate Road, where, for some years, she has been engaged in higher education work. She is thoroughly fitted and qualified to take up education work in India, and she goes out as you have heard to Cuttack. We hope that God wiU spare her life for many years to come. Miss Bergin bears a name beloved and honoured by us all. Her father for many ypars was the honoured minister of Sutton. She has had this thought in her heart for a long time, and has quietly, with that rare determination which is so characteristic of sanctified womanhood, made it her study to prepare herself for this work. May we all unite in commending these sisters to the blessing and protection of God, and with that this meeting will end. The Chairman then brought the meeting to a close in the way indicated. THE ^tEETINGS IK LONDON, 413 YOUNG PEOPLE'S MEETING. The public Centenary Celebration proceedings in London were concluded with a meeting of young people, which was held in the evening, the chair being taken by the treasurer, Mr. W. R. Rickett, After singing, and prayer by the Rev. Dr. Glover, THE CHAIRMAN said : — My dear Friends, — We have this week been celebrating a centenary of missions, and hitherto the older people have had the meetings to them- selves. This is our last gathering, and this is for us young people. May the good Lord Himself be with us ! May we all feel His presence in our hearts, and may we all receive some impressions, and make some resolu- tion which shall remain with us throughout our lives, and be permanent in our usefulness in missionary work. As you all know, the object which we have set our hearts upon is to collect a thanksgiving offering of £100,000, and to increase the permanent income of the Society to £100,000. The former of these objects is now in sight. At the close of our meeting this morning we had promised to us the sum of £94,700. We hope, therefore, that by the termination of these Centenary meetings, or very soon after, that we shall have secui-ed our £100,000; but as to what will follow I am rather more anxious. It will be necessary when this fund is closed not to say, ' ' Now we have done what we attenipted to do, and we will rest; " but we have to look forward to raise the permanent income of the Society, and this is a serious thing, because at the present time the income of om- Society is over-spent. Well, we are very glad to meet under encouraging cii'cumstances this evening, to feel that what we have designed is very soon about to be accomplished, and I trust that with rene^N'ed heai'ts and revived consecration we shall take up what then lies before us. Now, this is a young people's meeting. That suggests to my mind that you will have to carry on the business of this Society in daj'S to come. The present Committee are older men, and in a few years — say, in twenty years from now — most of us will have passed away to our rest, and we are anxious beyond all things that the generation which follows us shall be more earnest, more devoted, more diligent in this v/ork than we ourselves haA'e been. We ask you v/ho are here to-night 414 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. to consider this, that you may be ready to take up the work when we leave it, and to cany it on in a manner better than we ourselves have done. We look, then, to the young people before us to provide us with men. We want men, and women too, for our missionary work. When I say we want men, I lay emphasis that we want men, men whose hearts are right with God, and who have intellectual and moi-al qualities which will stand the test of severe trial. Well, then, we want money. We look to you to provide the money. It is necessary, as time goes, that our income should augment, that we should not have continuously men asking to be sent to the mission-field, and have to say to them, "We cannot send you ; we have no money." We look, then, for money. And we look to you to be qualified in due time to carry on the business of this Society, for the officers that now are, and the Committee that now are, will, as I have said, pass away. Then, in order to this consecration, we ask that you will continually remember the Society in your prayers. Make a habit of asking God's blessing upon the labours of the missionaries who are in the field. Those of them that you know personally, ask God to bless them by name, and never foi'get to commend them in prayer to Him. Then we ask that your gifts to this Society shall be given regidarly and systematically ; that it shall be as much a duty that you should give your subscription to the Society as it is for you to eat your breakfast in the morning. Now, if that is done, there will be no lack of funds ; there will be plenty of means to carry on the work of the Society, if you will all make it a matter of prayer and a matter of business to which you will attend regularly day by day. Well, then, we say that all should have an interest in this work. We are very thankful to testify that we have received out of this £94,000, £12,000 from our Sunday-schools. It is very encouraging, and it fills us with hopefulness as regards the future. We see in your gifts the assurance that when the time comes you will be ready by your presence to carry on the work. Now, the need of the Society is indeed great. Just think of it — there are at the present time, as far as can be estimated, S00,000,000 of people who have never heard of the love of Jesus Christ, and the missionaries on the field are so few that for every 280,000 people there is only one man. Now, you must see that one man is not enough. We must have more men, and as you give us the means so we will have the men. Then the amount contributed for each church member is very small; two and sixpence a head per annum for every church member seems altogether insufficient for such a work as this. Now we have everything to en- coiu-age us. When Carey established this Society a hundi-od years ago, he had nothing to encourage him except the Word of God, the promise of God, and the presence of his Saviour. His friends at home thought him mad in attempting such a thing, and he was almost withoiit THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 41') sympathy and witliout help, and the eircumstancos of the times when he founded the Society were also against him. Trade was desperately bad, and Europe was raging with wai-. lender such circumstances this man, who was heroic in spirit, undaunted in purjiose, went forth and gave himself as the first stated missionary to this tSociety. He made the request that if he went dowTi into the pit we Avould hold the vope. Now, what is the command of our Saviour ? Upon what is this Society established ? It is established by the assertion of Jesus Christ Himself, that He has all authority in heaven and on earth, and upon that He told His disciples, just before He left this world for heaven, that they were to go and teach all nations, every creatm-e, and that He would be with them always, even unto the end. There is the authority of Jesus Christ Himself, and the promise of Jesus Christ Himself to be with all His workers, even imto the end of time. Now, as you know, we have had much success in some of our missions. One or two things are very striking in the contributions to our Cen- tenary Fund. You are aware that we have churches established on the Congo now. Your Congo Mission is about thirteen years old, and we have several little chui-ches established, and even those who are not church members are asking us that we will send to them more mis- sionaries to teach them about Jesus Christ and His love ; and the churches themselves have sent to us contributions which should put some of us, at any rate, to the blush — they have sent us contributions of some £3.;, not in cui'rent coin of the realm, but in the various things which pass as coin on the field. Then we were encouraged the other day by receiving £1,000 from church members in India, as the first payment, and we are looking forward to receive still more. Now, if these young Christians, who have just received the Word of God, have such a desire that it shoidd flourish and abound, and give us their contributions and their prayers, what should we do who for years, for centuries, have enjoyed the bless- ings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ 'r Now, in asking you to support the Society, I am asking a great thing. I suppose most in this hall are Christians, but if there are any here that are not Christians, may I ask you, in concluding, why you shoidd not be Christians, and give your hearts to Jesus Christ at once, now, here, and let this Centenary year be the year to which you can point back as the time when you first loved the Saviour ? MR. F. F. BELSEY, J.P., of Rochestei-, represented the Sunday School Union. The following was his address : — Mr. Chairman, my dear Friends,— The clearest reason I can discover for my presence on this platform to-night is the fact of my connection Avith an institution in which I believe you are all moi'e or less interested — 41G THE CENTENARY CELEBEATION. the great institution of the Sunday-sohool — to which I take it to-night your directors, in this hour of congratulation and triumph, desire to render some generous recognition. I come from a garrison town, and I know something of the connection between a depot and a regiment. Now, I daresay some of our young friends may be unaware of that connection. It simply is this : that Avhile the regiment is out in the field, fighting the battles of the country, the depot at home is collecting recruits, is furnishing supplies, and is making all the necessary arrange- ments for the filling up of gaps in the regiment and for the maintenance of its efficiency. Now, Mr. Baynes has admirably arranged his platform. He has done well in putting the paymaster-general in the chair ; he has done very well in sending for some of the uhlans and outposts from the forward picket line to tell you how things are going on in the field ; he has done well in going down to Ipswich, and bringing up one who has been a sort of inspector-general, who has been going over the lines of battle, and has been seeing whether everybody is doing his duty, whether all the powder is dry ; and then, last of all, he has chosen your humble servant, who may represent the depot — the Sunday-school — -(vhere young missionaries are being trained, where the sinews of war are being gathered, and where future subscribers to this noble Society are being reared in Christian charity. And while I refer to my connection with the Sunday-school, may I at this point interject the only note — I won't call it of complaint, but of oritieism— that I desire to ofFer ? I think I may fairly say that the cause of missions was never dearer to the Sunday-schools of this countiy than it is to-day. I believe the support given to the missionary societies of our country by our Sunday-schools was never greater than to-day. I know that in what I am about to say I shall not say one word which will not have the heart-felt sympathy both of your directors and your secretary. Your secretary, with his bright presence, gladdened the first Indian Sunday-school Convention as one of its most welcome visitors ; but I should like to see the directors of our missionary societies hence- forth looking with a little more interest and favour upon the Sunday- school system as part of their method of attacking heathen nations. That was a wonderfully interesting vv-ork — the "Centenary Volume." I expect we all enjoyed it because it had so many pictures in it. I went through the pictures before I went through the papers. I may say I looked in that volume for some little information on this special point, and I am not for a single moment mentioning it in this our hour of triumph and congratulation as any occasion of complaint, but as an interesting fact which I know a shrewd man of business like Mr. BajTies and other men like your directors will not altogether lose sight of. You have been at work for one bundled years around the world, and I looked THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 417 to see how many Sunday- scholars Avere gathered in your schools. Taking off the 16,000 connected with the Jamaica churches, which are self-supporting, and for which, I supjiose, you are not now responsible, I find that you have 10,000 scholars, just the same number that belong to the insignificant little provincial union of which I am the honorary secretaiy. I felt that this was hardly what one might have expected. I then looked to sec whether the same state of things attached to the work of kindi-ed societies. I thought I would not go out of the denomination, and so I went across the Atlantic, and looked up the Avork of the Baptist Missionary Society of America, and I found that that Society was about equal to your own, so far as extent of agency and amount of income is concerned. I noticed with considerable interest that while the English Baptist Missionary Society had collected 10,000 children in its Sunday-schools, the American Society had collected 90,000. Now, I am only mentioning this for the consideration of your directors, and I rejoice to know that no one has given more gratifying support to our Sunday-school missionary, who is traversing the length and breadth of India, seeking to found these Sunday-schools, than youi' worthy secretary. But I do want this to be the new departure of your Centenary year. We h;ive couie uji to this grand milestone in your history, and as we advanced towards it along the first century there was inscribed upon it, " Feed My sheep." We are passing on, and as wo look forward to the coming Centenary I want to see deeply graven on the next the words, "Feed My lambs." I may point out that in establishing these Sunday-schools, and I am sure your directors Avill agree with me, you are going a long way to establish the foundation of Christian faith in your churches. I do not know anything that solidifies our English churches much more than that something like 600,000 Sunday-school teachers have to sit every week and study God's Word, If they never had to teach a lesson, the effect of that would be precious to their own soids, and would be of infinite value to the churches to which they belong. And if you could take your native Christians, and get them to submit to the same ordeal, how much more solid would be the foundations of these native churches. Now, having delivered myself of these few words of criticism, I want to say one or two words to you. I want to say that we are looking to the Sunday-schools of our comitry to train subscribers to the Baptist Missionary Society. You begin by offering us the halfjjenny or the penny in the school, and we want you to get interested in this Avork and love it, so that by and by you may offer us your notes and sovereigns, I see that the Geographical Society this moming have issued some pro- spectuses. They are seeking to encourage the study of geography. Lectures are to be given by that eminent authority, Mr. MacKinder, to principal teachers in the country, and it is clear that they are suggesting 27 418 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. this fact that there are two ways of teaching geography— the old dry style, which many remember, and all regret, and there is the new and interesting way of teaching it, to which all are looking forward. There are also two ways of holding a missionary meeting, and I do plead earnestly for the introduction of that newer, more living and interesting system which will win the sympathy of all our scholars for the great work of Chi-istian missions. There is a noble society just commencing its career in America, I mean the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavoui', which, I believe, contains already 1,200,000 members. That society is also beginning to strike its roots in this country, and I rejoice to know that one part of its proceedings is the establishment of mis- sionary agencies in connection with it. There is a committee for missions, and I do not know any more interesting meetings that I have ever attended than meetings of those young Christian people, just gathered together Sqt their own encouragement and for the study of God's Word and for jpr^yer. Some of the most happy meetiugs at which I have been present have been juvenile missionary meetings carried out on similar lines. I like to see a bright boy in the chair, and to hear him addressed as " Mr. Chau'man," and boys and girls reading those tissue-paper letters that have come from the station across the seas, where the well-known native agent, whose portrait hangs in the Sunday-school, is at work. I like the dolls dressed for the Indian Mission laid out for inspection. I like to note the interest and enthusiasm with which the young folks listen to the results of the collections in their different schools. I really enjoy a juvenile missionary meeting of that kmd. Now, in these days of easy communication and of photographs, when you can have pictures of the very mission station where your agent is at work, let us encoiu'age the identification of each school with some particular field of labom*, over which that school will keep a fatherly eye, and in wh ose proceedings it will be intensely interested. We sometimes talk about the old folks setting an example to the young, but I believe that in many cases the young set an example to the old. I shall never forget being at a meeting in a town a little way from my home, which was held in order to raise funds to build some large Wesleyan day- schools. We had all the money to raise that night. I was chairman, and the work of raising money for day-schools was not then quite so easy a matter as it is now, and folks did not see any good reason for building them. I was very anxious about it. Up came the slips of paper from various parts of the meeting, and from the first piece of paper I opened out dropped a shilling and sixpence, and this was -wi-itten on the paper, " Proceeds of the sale of Charley's black and white rabbit, one shilling and sixpence." Then immediately up came the £10, and £50, and £20, and before I left the chair that night the school was builtj e^ far as money was concerned, and Charley's black and white- THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 419 rabbit had a great deal to do with it — it was the self-denial of a little child that opened the hearts of the adults. And not only do we want you to train subscribers to the Missionary Society from, your ranks, but we want missionaries. I remember a few years ago, a friend coming to see me on a country exchange, and saying, " Eobert Moffat is at Exeter Hall to-night; shall we go up and hear him ? " And so we took the train, and up we came to this very hall to hear Robert Moffat ; and he was standing just where I am now standing. He said, "I look back upon my life. I was a young Scotch boy ; many of my companions chose the paths of commerce and politics for their distinction. I turned my back upon those tempting aVenues, and I rather chose by God's guidance and grace to go far away from all those interests. I went among barbarous people. I brought them to civilisation. I translated into their language the precious Word of God ; and at the close of life I can gratefully thank God that I made the choice I did." I wished I had heard that speech thirty years earlier. You dear young folks are hearing it repeated to-night. Many of you are anxiously asking, " What shall I do by and by ? What am I to be in life ? " And just remember it is very desii-able to look at that question from the other end of life as well as from the present end. Try to get to where Eobert Moffat stood that night on this platform, and just take a backward look and remember this, that full of joy and glory as heaven will be, it will not be a place where all is perfectly level, and where all enjoy equal glory and equal honour. Above that level line of light which saints call heaven there rise loftier glories and yet higher dignities, and for whom are they reserved ? " They that turn many to righteous- ness shall shine as the stars for ever and ever." Let us now, in these days of boyhood and gii-lhood, as in the future, not forget the claims of the heathen world, and do not forget that a place in heaven's aristocracy nearest the throne may be won by that heart, no matter what success may be gained, that most completely empties itself upon the altar of our Lord Jesus Christ. THE REV. CHARLES JORDAN, of India, then addressed the meeting. He said : — Mr. Chau'man and Christian Friends, — I must remember that this meeting is for young folks, and so I am not going to make a speech, but I am simply going to talk to the gallery over there. Now, I remember that when I was a youngster, and came to a meeting like this, there would be two questions that I should hke answered — first of all, "What sort of place have you been to?" and the second question, "What sort of children are over there?" Now, then, for a minute or two I want to take you to one or two jilaces where I have been in India. 27» 420 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. The first place I think about is a place called Barisal. Twenty-three years ago I went to that place. I remember the journey well. It took us seven days. My dear friend, Mr. Sale, who has gone to his reward, took me to that place, and I thank God that he was the first missionary I knew in India, and shall I say the best ? He was for me, at any rate. We threaded our way in a little boat thi-ough a number of little canals. I remember well Mi\ Sale sayiag that he wondered himself how in that labyrinth of canals the native boatmen managed to find the way. Now and again we came out and crossed a big river ; now and then I saw a great crocodile lying on the bank and gradually slipping into the stream. At one place — I remember it was a Sunday morning — about fifty monkeys came walking along the bank, looked at us, and wondered what business we had there. Last of aU we got to Barisal, the first place where I worked. Now, in that place we have got more than 5,000 Christian people, and I shall ever feel grateful to, and cherish in my heart, some of the dear native Christians that I knew in that place. Now, remem- ber that this one place alone has a j^opulation equal to the whole of Wales, and the i)eople are particularly bright. We have to suffer a great deal from famine ; but there are scores and hundreds of bright boys and girls who come to the Sunday-schools, and some of these boys have learned to speak fearlessly and with power for om- Lord Jesus Christ. I want now to take you to another place, and that is the great city of Benares, nearly 500 miles from Calcutta. As one sees it from the great river, it is a glorious sight as it lies in the sunshine. There are magnifi- cent houses built by Hindu kings ; the place is studded all over with temples ; in the centre of the city is the Golden Temple, and near it is a well, where the people come to drink foetid water, which the priests teach them is the water of immortality. On the face of the river you see thousands of people — men, women, and childi-en — many of them weary with a long journey to the great city, where they have come to wash in the stream and see the great temples. You pass along the streets of the city, and see at one place people carrying their dead to be buried, and as they go jog, jog along with theii' sad load, you hear them cry out continually in theii- language, "Our God is true." That is all the consolation they have. They have heard no words about the love of God; they have never heard of the bright world where Jesus is gathei-ing the children and the grown-up people. In sadness they live, and in darkness they die. If you went to another part of the city you would find about 30,000 or 40,000 Bengalis. Now, the customs of these people are more cmel than those of the Hindustanis. Before theii' relations are dead they hurry them off to the river in order that they may pom- some of the sacred water down their throats, and as they go along you hear them ciying out, calling on Vishnu, who takes away sin. Now, when a Bengali is supposed to be THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 421 near his end, and is taken out, he can never be brought back to his home. Should he recover, he is a perfect outcast ; his relations will not know him, they would not give him a handful of rice, they would not shake hands with him or have anything more to do with him. Once, when a friend of mine was going down the Hooghly, a branch of the Ganges, at one spot he came upon a wi-etched place, and he asked who lived there, and the native boatman said, " Sir, they are dead people that live there." My friend said, "Dead people! Why, what does that mean ? " And then the native boatman explained that some benevolent Hindu had built this wretched hut to shelter these poor creatures who had been brought out to die, and who had not died. This fact alone shows how true is the saying of the Holy Book that the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. I have only time to go to one more place^a great open expanse of country at the junction of two rivers, the Ganges and the Gunduk. Here and there you will find large mango orchards. The foliage of the mango affords a most grateful shelter from the burning beams of the tropical sun. At this place, once a year, as many as 300,000 or 400,000 people are gathered together at an annual fair which is held there, and for many years it has been my custom to go to this fair and mingle with the natives. There are various things brought there to be sold, and you would be astonished at the number of horses, bullocks, calves, brass goods, marble goods, even small images and temples and sacred books, that are exposed for sale. One also sees there a great number of Korans. Now, here we used to go day by day while the fair lasted, sell new books to the people, preach and sing to them, and tell them of Him who came to seek and to save the lost, who came to brighten life for us in both worlds. I have not time to take you to any other place. I wish I had ten times more time to tell you about the children of India. You go into an Indian village, and you see a Hindu gentleman come out of his house, and his neighbours make a salaam to him, and they say, "Sir, what is the news?" And he will say, perhaps, "No good news." They know what that means, that a little girl has been bom into the house. That is considered a calamity, and, little children, let me remind you that the Eajpoots used to destroy hundreds and thousands of their little girls annually, allowing only a comparatively small number of them to live. So that you see the very entrance to life of a Hindu girl is under a cloud, and I might almost say under a curse. If a boy is bom, then the father is delighted ; if a girl is bom, he won't say that a girl is born ; he will say, if he is a Christian, that he must be thankful for what he has ; if he has heard anything about Christian gratitude, he must be thankful for what God sends. But if it is a boy, he will say straight out, " A boy is bom," and everybody will begin to 422 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. congratulate the happy man on being the father of a son. Then they ■will give him a grand name ; perhaps they will call him ' ' The Beautiful Sun," or a name that means a necklace of pearls, or, perhaps, " The Big King." Now, when they are Httle they play together just as English children do. You see them in the centre courts of the houses ; you may see them out of doors playing under the cocoa-nut trees, or in the sugar cane ; but here again the poor little gii-l's playing days are soon cut short. She is married sometimes when she is not more than six or seven years of age. No more play after that — she is shut up, imprisoned with the women, and a mark is put upon her forehead. After the formality of marriage has been gone through, should that little boy die, she is a widow for life. What does that mean ? It moans that she is not allowed to wear a bit of ornament, that she is made a drudge in the family, and sometimes she is cruelly beaten ; it means that sometimes these poor gii-ls take a little arsenic, or fling themselves down a well, or rush away from homo to misery worse than death itself. That is the fate of thousands of little girls in India, and that is the fate of thousands of young women. The boys go to school, and many of them soon learn to road now in Bengal ; but nothing is told them about the God who made them, about the Saviour who died for them. Now I am glad to say tliat we get hundreds and hundreds of Hindu and Mohammedan boys into our Sunday-schools. Mission work has been very fruitful woik ; in college, in translation, or in the distribution of books, it has borne fruit in India. No kind of work can be more hopeful. I never had so much joy in any work as in Sunday-school work. It is not always easy to begin. There was one Brahmin in Calcutta who was very friendly, and sometimes he came to hear me preach in English ; and I asked him to allow me to use his place one Sunday as a Sunday-school, and he said, "Oh, yes, you shall have it, and I will do this and that." Sunday came, and I went there; not a Brahmin teacher was there, not a boy was there, and I soon understood what was the condition of things. The man was afraid of his neighbours. Ho had made me the promise ; but he had not the courage to keep it. So I went back again, but I did not give up. I tried again. Last of all the man overcame his fears, and became one of my scholars. I was enabled to give him a copy of the annotated paragraph Bible, a most valuable book, in which the notes in English are invaluable in India. He became one of my most attentive hearers, and the school was soon crowded with Hindu and Mohammedan boys. I have had something to do with children in India, and I never knew in any Simday-school in England the children come with such glee and gladness as they used to come to these Sunday-schools held in these wretched mud huts, for they were nothing better. I am glad to tell you that these children are by no means destitute of gratitude. I was almost overcome vnih. the kind THE MEETINGS IN LONDON, 423 things they said and did for me when I was leaving the country in 1890. The boys are learning, and if you can put before them a few of the words of the Gospel, not in a scholastic form, but let them stand out and speak for themselves, then I am sure you will get thousands of children to listen to you with the greatest attention and gladness. That is the state of things among the children. And now, my young friends, before I sit down, I should like to tell you that God's Spirit has been at work amongst these Christians. Sometimes I have met a young fellow walking along the road, and he has said, " Sir, I am a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, but there is my poor old father. If I become a Christian, who is to look after him ? I do not see my way to be baptized at present." But there are some who, through God's goodness and gi-ace, have the courage of their convictions. One dear fellow I have known for more than twenty years. He was a schoolboy who came to Calcutta to get schooling, and in the providence of God ho was led to a missionary school, and the missionary told him of the Saviour — the boys' Saviour — the Fiiend of the young. He was a young Brahmin. His heart was won ; and when the school was closed he went back to his home, eighty miles off, and came to the mission- house and said, "I wish to be baptized." My friend, Mr, Sale, was there then, and he was so pleased with the boy that he ho]Dcd he would come again. "When he got home, his friends found that he had been to the missionary ; and do you know how the father feels in India when his son is likely to be baptized ? He feels as much humiliated and disgraced as a loving father would feel in this country if his boy had become a thief, and was sentenced to penal servitude. They made a prisoner of this boy, but at last he managed to escape, came back again, and was baptized. He was then cast off by his family, and lost his share of the family property. He gave up everything, and for years he has been living a holy Christian life, faithfully and lovingly bearing "witness for Christ. I think there is one lesson amongst many which these Sunday-schools teach us, and that lesson is perseverance in mission work. PerSBVerance ! Good Dr. Carey acted on this ; all through the heat and all th^tigh the rains he went on untd the Bengali Bible was complete. Then he tackled the Sanscrit, and finished that. And so, step by step, nothing daunted ill the midst of great difficulties, he accomplished his purpose ; and if there is a boy or a girl here who has any desire in his or her heart for missionary work, I would say, persevere. There may be many difficulties, but if you wait upon God aU your difficulties will disappear. Whether you go to India or remain in this coimtry, God will use you, God will bless you, and the world >vill be better for your having lived in it. 424 THE CENTENAEY CELEBRATION. The Chairman called nest upon THE REY. T. M. MORRIS, of Ipswich, who had recently visited China on behalf of the Society. He said : — According to the time-table I was to have had twenty minutes to speak to you about a great subject, but the collection and hynin have taken up five minutes of the time, so that I must do what I can in a quarter of an houi-, and I must spend those minutes in giving you as distinct an idea as can be given in the time of our mission work in China, and in trying to awaken or deepen your interest in that work. Passing over many things that I would have liked to have spoken to you about, I would say at once that the one thing that most of all interested us in China was what we saw of the gi-eat work of God which is being carried on by our own and by other missionary societies in that wonderful Empire. What we saw there simply delighted us, and whithersoever we went we felt that we must thank God and take courage. Everywhere we were impressed by the fact that the Christian Church was brought into the presence of a great opportunity for Christian effort and for Christian enterpiise. Notwithstanding those occasional and local outbreaks of anti-foreign feeling, of which we hear with regret, there can be no doubt that China to-day is open to the presence and labours of Christian men and women and to the touch of Christian influence as she has never been before. We travelled about in the interior nearly five months, and in all our wanderings we met with neither insult nor injury. We were protected, I have no doubt, in part by our grey hairs. We were reputed to be at least one hundred years old, and we were treated with corresponding respect. Of coiu'se, every now and then we were called " foreign devils " ; but if you had only seen the representations that we saw, pictorial and statuesque, of " Chinese devils," you would take it as a compliment to be called a " foreign devil." The work that is going on in China is one that demands the sympathy and the support of all Christian people at home. We were impressed not only by the grandeur of the opportunity, but by the gi-eatness and urgency of China's need. I am quite aware that to hear some people talk you might suppose that China did not need missionaries, and that it is only in the very extravagance of our Christian zeal that we send them there. We hear a great deal about their ancient civilisation and their splendid system of morals. We are reminded of what we are glad to admit, that they are a contented, law-abiding, frugal, industrious people ; that their religions have in them certain important and even valuable elements of truth ; and that their superstitions, if foolish, are THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 425 at least comparatively innocent and harniloss. They have done fairly well without you, it is said, for 4,000 years; had you not better leave them alone, and not push yourselves in where your presence evidently is not wished for, and, as we should say, not very urgently needed P In reply to all this I would say that even a short residence in that country ought to convince any one not wilfully blind that China needs the Gospel fully as much as any nation under heaven. I do not dwell on this need for missionary work. The need is obvious to everyone who goes there. The Gospel can do for China what nothing else can do, and give to China what nothing else can give. One of the acutest observers in China, who has been there for many years, says the two things a Chinaman wants are character and conscience. If China is ever to be lifted from her present low level, conscience must be enthroned and the springs of character must be purified; and you know — we all know — what alone can purify chax-acter and enthrone conscience. And it is because we know that, that we send our missionaries out to China to preach the Gospel of Christ to those who are perishing for lack of knowledge. The question is often asked, and people have a perfect right to ask the question : ' ' Are missions a success in China ? Are they answering theii- true end? Are they touching the life of China? Are they improving the condition of things there ? Are they effecting any real change? Are they conferring any real benefits ?" The question is a perfectly fair one, and one which we are prepared to answer. We saw a great deal of mission work as cai-ried on by our own and other societies, and I shall over thank God for what I saw. So far from being disap- pointed, what we saw, for character, extent, and worth, far exceeded our largest expectations. So far from feeling that we had been deluded by the exaggerations of missionary narrative, we felt, as we passed from one mission station to another, that the half had not been told us. We spent some five months in visiting different mission stations, and while, of course, we spent most of our time in inspecting the work of our own Society, we saw something of the work of most of the other societies working in China, both American and British, and the conclusion to which, we came was that Christian missions are doing in China to-day a work which for successful results will compare with any work that is being done in the world. All we want is to have our missionary agencies strengthened, largely and immediately. After seeing something of the mission work of other societies in Chefoo and Tientsin, we made our way as quickly as we could to one of the two centres of our own Mission in Shantung. Our Mission is an interior mission ; it may be spoken of emphatically as an inland mission, and you may judge of this when I tell you that during the five months that we were in the interior we did not see one single foreigner, except the missionaries we visited. It took up seven and a half days of unin- 426 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. teiTupted travel to pass from Tientsin to Tsin-cheu-foo, and those days were not short days ; foui-teen, fifteen, and sixteen hours a day did we spend in a Chinese cart, and you can form no idea of what it is to spend sixteen hours in a Chinese cart. The vibration and jolting are such that you get out of the cart every night with a mingled feeling of astonish- ment and gratitude that you get out in one piece. And then, after we spent all these long hours in the cart, all we had in the way of comfort was to lay our wearied and nearly dislocated bodies upon the hard and uneven surface of either a brick or a mud k'ang, amid all the inde- scribable squalor and discomfort of a Chinese inn. But we had our reward when we got to the end of om* journey — a reward that more than compensated us for all the discomfort that we experienced. When we drew near to the city the whole Christian population came out to meet and greet us, and to accompany us to the houses where we were to reside during our stay in Tsin-cheu-foo. I wish I could in these minutes give you some idea of the work which is being done in Shantung. It is a marvellous Avork — a work that fills us with astonishment as well as gratitude. One of the most splendid pieces of work we saw there was that in connection with our friend Mr. Whitewi-ight's institution. About five years ago the Committee gave him permission to commence this little work, to start a college in a small way for the training of pastors and teachers and evangelists. He began with a batch of twenty-four men, selected by the church, and partly sustained by the church. We saw nearly all of them. It was Dr. Glover's privilege and my own to take part in a simple ordination service, when six of these men were set apart to the work of the pastorate — fine stalwart men, not very young, the youngest perhaps twenty-five, the oldest, I should think, forty-five, men full of the fear of God and the love of Christ. They are to be sustained by the native church, not by you, and they are to receive — what do you think, you young people ? — they are to receive the magnificent stipend, calculated in our money, of £o 6s. a year ! I shall never forget the answer that one of these men made when asked whether he and his brethren dared to face life upon such a stipend as this. His reply was, "We dare do nothing else." They were saved by Christ, they had received the great gift of Christ, and it was the joy as well as the duty of their lives to serve Christ and Christ's Church. Sir, are not these men worth working for ? Can a mission be called a failure that can point to such men ? I do not mean to say, of course, that they are all on the same level, or are all of precisely the same character — our Christians at home are not ; but there are noble, splendid men out there who, I believe, will compare favourably with the ordinary run and something more than the ordinary run of our Christians at home. There is another fine piece of work in connection Avith that same institution THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 427 commenced more recently. Twice a year, from 100 to 130 mcu have been brouglit up for about a month or five weeks' Bible training, that they might go back and give their gratuitous laboiu- to the Christian Chm-ch, better fitted for that service than they otherwise could have been. When we were there, in Tsin-cheu-foo, there were a hundred of such men from the neighbourhood of Chow-ping. These men had given up all that they would have earned during their absence from home, paid their own travelling expenses ; the only cost to us was for the food they ate while in the missionary station. How much do you think the food cost ? There were a hundred of them, and my friend, Dr. Glover, who is an expert arithmetician, went into the question and found out that it cost 2Ad. each a day, about £1 a day for food for these hmidred men ; and I venture to say that is about the best spent money in China. Bringing these men in contact with our Western life no doubt has a gi-eat iniluence upon them ; it raises them to a level to which they could not otherwise be so easily raised, and with love in their hearts, and the words of Christ on their lips, they go back to do gratuitous service among their brethren and neighbours in the scattered villages of North China. I wish I had time to tell you about the medical, evangelistic, and educational work carried on in this district. I could tell you a great deal about it, but I must pass on to say a word about the work in the other part of Shantung, Chow-ping; a work that only began about five years ago, but is going on by leaps and bounds. It is running away from our missionaries ; they cannot keep pace with it. One of them said to us, " In some heathen mission- fields the missionary has to drive the work ; here the work is driving us ; " and that is the fact. All they can do, and they can scarcely do that, is to visit these stations once in six months, exercising a sort of episcopal superintendence over these scattered Christian communities, where either baptized believers or enrolled inquirers are meeting for worship. It will give you some idea of the magnificent results with which God has been pleased to crown our work in Shan-tung when I tell you that in the two districts occupied by us, each about the size of Yorkshire, and with about the same population, we have IVO different places in which groups of baptized believers, or enrolled inquirers, are meeting regularly for worship — 1,800 church members, of whom 500 were baptized last year, and nearly or quite as many inquirers. But I must hurry on to say a word about the other j)rovince in which our work has been carried on. Having seen all that our time would allow us to see of the work in Shantung, we passed on to the neighbouring province of Shansi. This was a journey of nineteen days — a journey full of interest, though involving considerable fatigue and discomfort. The work in Shansi differs in character from that in Shantung, and has been much less 428 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. encouraging, a difference which, Ave think, must in a very large degree be accounted for by the prevalence of the depraving and detnoralising habit of opium-smoking. Shansi is one of the great opium-producing and opium-consuming provinces of China. It is difficult to determine how far the habit extends. From conversation we had with intelligent natives we learned that in a city like Tai-yuen seven men out of ten smoked more or less ; in country districts, three or four out of ten ; and that both in town and country a large number of women indulged in the habit. One thing is worthy of note — we never met with a Chinaman who had a word to say in favour of opium-smoking. We talked with many who confessed to the habit, but we never found one who attempted to justify it. The evil effects of this vile habit — physical, social, moral — can scarcely be over-estimated. The very prevalence of this vice, for the spread of which in China we as a nation are so largely responsible, should lead us not to relinquish, but to redouble, our efforts to introduce the Gospel of Christ, which, if it be not the only remedy for this evil, is acknowledged by all to be the most effective ; indeed, so far as I could learn, but few save those who become Christians are permanently cui-ed of this habit when it is once really formed. But while in the great city of Tai-yuen the work has progressed but slowly, good and encouraging work has been done in the outlying districts. At Hsin- chao, Shiao-Tien-Tzu, and Shi-tieh good results have been secured, and the outlook is promising. Our Mission is sadly under-manned, and we could not help feeling that with a stronger staff a much better work might have been done. Then we have our recent Mission in Shensi, one of the most interesting and beautiful stories in the whole history of Chinese missions. Wherever we went in China oirr friends of every denomination, American and English, declared it to be one of the most important openings for Chris- tian work that has ever been presented to any Christian church in China. Well, we felt we did not dare turn our backs upon it. We gave our recommendation to the Committee, and the Committee accepted it, and we have now two brethren, Mr. Moii- Duncan and Mr. Shorrock, working there ; and I trust our Shantung brethren, some eighty church members who have migrated to Shensi, will form the nucleus of a powerful and prosperous native church. But I must stop. I have said enough to show you that there is a great and good work going on in China — in Shantung a very wonderful and most encouraging work. If the work is to be extended, if it is even to be maintained, our missionary staff must be reinforced. Let me make an appeal to you. China wants men ; China wants women ; China wants money. I cannot believe, and I will not believe, that we have got either to the end of our resources or to the Limit of our Christian willinghood. I believe what we have done during the Centenary year affords ample THE MEETINGS iN LONDOJf* 429 and abundant proof of both the one thing and the other. 1 have been asked again and again whether I was satisfied with what I saw in China, and I have said before, what I venture to say again to-night, that I was so impressed with what I did see and hear, that if I were twenty-five years younger than I am, I would at once resign my seat on the Com- mittee, and offer myself as a candidate for work in China. My life lies behind me, but I am talking to a lot of young people, whose lives are in front of them, and I want to make my appeal to you. We want strong, noble-hearted, vigorous men and gracious women to go out and enter into this work. Are there not some here to-night who will devote them- selves to this great and noble sei-vice ? There is a legend and a device, I know not of what antiquity, that has been adopted, I believe, by more than one of our missionary societies. There you see the ox garlanded as for sacrifice and yoked as for service ; and on the one side you see the altar and on the other side the plough, and the legend is, " Ready for either " — for service or for sacrifice, to be yoked to the plough or to be laid on the altar. That is the spirit in which we want young men and young women to come forward, prepared to lay themselves upon the altar of Christian service and of Christian sacrifice. Are there not some of you, dear young friends, who are prepared to make this sacrifice to-night, to make this great and blessed service the joy and the business of your Lives ? Are there not some here ready to say this : — ■ " Few years, no wisdom, no renown, Only my life can I lay down, Only my heart, Lord, to Thy throne I bring ; and pray A child of Thine I may go forth, And spread glad tidings through the earth, And teach sad hearts to know Thy worth I Lord, here am 1 1 " I ask no heaven till earth be Thine, Nor glory-crown while work of mine Remaineth here ; when earth shall shine Among the stars. Her sins wiped out, her captives free, Her voice a music unto Thee, For crown new work give Thou to me : Lord, here am 1 1 " The Congo Mission was represented by THE REV. W. H. WHITE, just arrived from Bopoto, Upper River, who said : — Dear Friends, — I am before you as an apprentice, and so I can only speak of 'prentice work, not being commissioned to speak for the master 430 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. workmen, my colleagues, who are now labouring in tlie heat of the day on the Congo. But if those of you here who are feUow-novices would cai'e to hear how Congo strikes an apprentice, and how an apprentice stiikes there at the forge of Christ's Church, then listen ! But it is only right, as you are going to have a " Fuller " account of the work done in Africa, that I should leave the next speaker fair time. Now, I could speak of dangers that I have been in, of disappointments, of despondings, of difficulties, not all overcome, and if this were a special meeting of old folks I should be likely to take my cue from those four words ; but seeing this is the most hopeful of these gatherings, having present those in whom hope springs eternal, I purposely put before you the hopeful side of Congo life and of our life in Congo-land. You wlLL take it for granted that we meet evils there, and difficulties, which need not always be told. All parts of the world find the same disagreeables in different dress. The Congo is a great highway; but as far as I have noticed highways, they seem made for the sake of the byways that branch from them. Along the byways of the Congo, remote from high-roads, you may find interesting country and curious phases of savage life. There is the great Ngombe nation, which absorbed my interest during my last year in Congo. Hidden in the deep forests which you have read of in Mr. Stanley's last book, the life of its uncounted clans is even at this present moment a thing unthought of by passing travellers on the steamers that go up and down the river. Only in the cassava gardens on the slopes of the long, low ridges that break down to the river at Bopoto is there aught to indicate the presence of human society in that appalUng extent of forest that walls the river from the Bangala settlements onwards beyond the Aruwhimi, rrnless the keen eye should mark now and again a narrow path emerging upon the river from the still depths of the tangled wood. Along such paths it would be folly to venture. But when settled in our Bopoto home our curiosity will be aroused to follow the treacherous-looking tracks that dive into the forest from behind the little riverside plat on which are crowded the dwellings of our new friends, these most landless people in the world. Each river- side settlement is crowded upon by a " bush " colony. Very often a deep trench and stout palisade between speak of strained relationships. If the palisade is not new, but grown into a mighty bushy hedge, we may descend the trench and follow the path inland. Greasy warriors may try to dissuade us, frighten us, assure us that we shall not find anything but unpeopled bush and swamps if we go. But if we hold on a few minutes we shall find ourselves in an opening where there are little villages, houses in two semi-cii-cles closing almost at either end, so that elephants and other game may not find entrance, and also for better defence against other enemies who may come up to attack them. THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 431 Here you find a life differing in many aspects from that which is found on the main river. The people are agriculturists and hunters, and they supply the riverside towns with their staple food. Bopoto could bo starved out in a short time if those peoi:)le who raise the staple food should take it into their heads to stop the supply. Amongst these forest dwellers you find many superstitions and horrible cmelties which I could speak of if I had the time. Let me indicate, especially for the benefit of the young people, the shape their belief in spirits assumes. I was once speaking to a boy about the animals of the forest, and I asked him if the men were frightened at the leopard, for instance, which is the most terrible of beasts of prey. " No," he said, " we are not frightened at him if he is a mere leopard ; he is rather frightened at us. But if he should stand and attack a man, he has the spirit of someone's angry forefather within him, and it is because that father wishes to punish the man that the leopard stands at bay." "Then your forefathers are not entirely out of existence?" "No, they do not die; they pass away from this world, but we know that they are spirits ; they hover about the tops of the palm-trees and bananas — they are over by the forest there— and any time when they want to punish a man, they come at night time and visit him, and castigate him fairly, and then he knows in the morning that his angry forefathers have visited him." But there are many of these super- stitions which I have not time to tell you now. One custom in connection with their treaty habits struck me very much when I first heard of it. When a council is to be held to conclude a peace between towns which have been at war, the two parties to the treaty put money together, and, going to another town, they buy a little child, which would be brought into the midst of the assembly, and, after the promises had been made on both sides, that little child would be sacrificed, being upKfted on a long stake thrust through its body ; then the people, with loud shouts, would declare the treaty ratified and the peace formally established. Do not we see in this savage rite some faint reflection of that treaty of long ago, that central treaty of the world's history which was concluded once for all ? How it speaks, too, of the want of that great nation ! The vow of man to his neighboiu* stands not till the innocent has made it fast by his death. Let me now tell you the story of a little fellow, who has been a companion to me and a joy. It will show you that, whilst a want lies deep at the heart of those people, there are so many hindrances to any real progress we do not wonder they are in the backward state in which we find them — I mean, considering the slavery, the domestic or inter-tribal slave trade, which is the great self-imposed curse of Africa. When this little fellow had leamt the language of Bopoto, he told me his tale. He had found out that his native town was not far from 432 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. Bopoto, and tliat there were some living near who had travelled to his country for trade, for even the forest-land is networked with footways, Hke the rest of Africa. He said : ' ' One day the warriors of a neigh- bouring town came to us, stealing through the bush. There was a cry that the enemy was coming. All the women and children ran out into the bush, whilst the town was set on fire and plundered. "We lay there, hidden in the bush safely, as we thought ; but presently a party came along and seized me and my mother, and took us off in different direc- tions. I was made to walk many miles to the next to^vn, and, as I was too near to my home, they sold me to a far distant tribe. I was made to walk, day after day, keeping pace with the men who were taking me away, until I came to the borders of a river, and there I was sold to a tribe that traded in ivory up and down the river. Then," said he, " you know how it was, when your steamer came by, and we said to you, ' You are Talla Talla's people ; you are people of peace, you will protect us ; let us come and hide ourselves in your steamer, and we will be your servants.' " We took them in, and the little fellow and the other two who were with him have been with us ever since, and more faithful attendants you could not wish for. The name of the youngest Avhose story I have told is Dikundu, and he is to be one of the hands on the steamer Peace when he grows up ; and we hope he will be intelligent enough to be engineer. Let me ask you, boys and gii'ls, if you can, to compare the life and habits of a boy working with us hke that with his life as a slave of a cruel old cannibal chief. The day he came to us he knew not but that he would be killed before the morrow. He said, " My father has threatened to kill me and my two companions. If you do not take us we may not be alive on the morrow." Even if he had lived, what a life it would have been ! He had really no language of his own. For, being taken away from home so young, and living amongst people speaking other languages, he had forgotten his mother- tongue, but now he is picking it up. Boys and girls — you who wish that the other Dikundus of Africa should have a better and a brighter hfe than his threatened to be — I ask you whether you will not do your very best. There are those of you, young men, that could go and be teachers and friends to them. You say that you have something to bind you — some apprenticeship not served, or some relations in the way, relations present or prospective. Why there is not a missionary on the Congo but has had some of these difficulties to get over, but they have been got over somehow ! At the present moment we have more money in hand, comparatively speaking, than men. Mr. Darby has been waiting some months at Bolobo Station to go forward, but he has not been able to move for want of a comrade. There is the great Mobangi, which was closed to all simply because no article there was of any value save a human being. That river, since the suppression THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 433 of the slave traffic between the Lulango people and its settleiiieuts, has been opened to everyone who cares to go there. You heard last night how Bopoto, which used to be the most savage tribe upon the Congo — how with open arms it received us. There are, too, other tribes most friendly disposed towards us. You may presently hear a fidl account of the Mobangi, but the fact itself that the river — and it is a highway of some 500 miles, and a waterway for canoes hundreds of miles further, with populous towns on either side — the fact that that river is now open is worth £100,000 of itself. I am not sure that Mr. Bajoies has not been keeping that fact back imtil he has made sm-e of the Centenary £100,000, intending to spring it upon you when the way is clear for us to com- mence Avork upon that magnificent tributary. The Goudwill afloat, it will be a wrong to Africa to delay our moving forward by the river-road which we ought to consider peculiarly our* own, since our brave Grenfell was its discoverer. I have not been able to describe Congo life at all ; I have been able to tell you but the main thoughts that spring into one's mind when standing before a gathering like this. "We expect from this most hopeful of meetings there will come those who will be the hope of Africa in days to come. The last speaker was THE REV. J. JACKSON FULLER, of the West Coast of Africa : — I think, he said, my dear young friends, nothing gives me more pleasure than to be able to say that I thoroughly and most heartily congratulate each one of you, each boy, each girl, each young man and maiden to-night, on the grand opportunity that has come to you this evening as you cross the threshold of the first one hundred years, to stretch out your hand and take from your fathers the gi-and tradition handed down to them by then- fathers in days gone by. You know that this missionary enterprise began in the midst of dark things and dark days. A hundred years have passed and gone, and to-day the Mission brightens with hope ; it stretches itself along the borders of the country which is now open to those who hear the Gospel and are willing to receive it ; and you to-day, as the young and rising generation, have committed to you a charge which was left to your fathers before you. And the question comes. Are you -svilling to take that charge, believing that, as God has prospered your fathers in laying the foundations for this gi-and missionary enterprise, you, thcii- childi-en, will rear upon it a building worthy of the name and worthy of the Master who so loved us all? I want for a moment, young friends, to show you what a small attempt 28 434 THE CENTENAEY CELEBRATION. may do. You know when your fathers or yom- grandfathers began this Mission, children — dark children — "darkies" as they call us, and they do not know that when they do so they do not say anything disparaging against us, because we are dark. "We are dark because we are properly baked, and you are white because you are not done. When the mission began to send the Gospel to the heathen, we, as dark children, had no opportunity, no privilege at all, no knowledge of God, and no means whereby we could hear the Gospel; and, worse still, we were looked upon to be of so inferior a portion of the human race that it was almost folly to attempt to teach us, and raise us from the degradation into which we had fallen. When your fathers began the work, although our fathers in my country were bom under the British flag, yet we were nothing more and nothing less than the chattels of the Englishman. We were British slaves, and it was only by missionaries going to our country — the Island of Jamaica — and telling iis of the love of Jesus Christ that aroused the EngHsh nation, and in the year 1834, after paying twenty millions of money, you set us all free. The very day you passed the Emancipation Act in England, this boy (pointing to himself) was made free. I came under the Act, and was one of the little boys who were then set at liberty the very day the Emancipation Act was passed. My dear children, you, or your fathers before you, would have been glad to have seen that day in the year 1838, when, the Apprenticeship Act coming into force, thousands of children and their fathers and mothers gathered ' together during the evening, waiting for the morning of the 1st of August to dawn. At eleven o'clock at night they gathered in mass and waited for the hour to pass v/hen the clock should strike twelve. And then you would have been glad to see that mighty mass of human beings rise on their feet aud sing the Doxology — " Praise God from whom all blessings flow." I want you, dear children and young people, to see how good God has been. I was among that number that gathered that night. I was there that night when slavery was buried. I was there and heard the Doxology sung. Your fathers never thought that before they should pass away they would have a glimpse of one of the children that was rescued from the bonds of slavery. Here I am — you see me to-night. This is one of the boys that was rescued when you paid twenty millions of money and set otu" fathers free. And now, friends, this is one thing that has been done in this century. A hundred years ago, when Carey began this work, Jamaica was a slave country. To-night you close the century, and say, "We pass by the first century, leaving all British subjects free to worship God vmder their own vine or under their own fig-tree." One thing more, dear friends. I Avish you all to remember that the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ carried mth it power. When I was a little boy, I remember going to Mr, Phillippo, our minister. My mother took me to him, THE MEETINGS IN LONDON. 435 When I got to the house, he put his hand upon my head, and said, " My little fellow, what are you fit for ? " I replied, " Anything." It has turned out to be "anything," true enough. But among the many things that struck me was this. He went into his room, and took off liis table a little Bible — a beautiful new Bible. In those days we did not know what a beautiful Bible meant. It was a Bible with a black cover and gilt edges. He brought that Bible out, and said, " Now, my little fellow, a boy in England wished me to give this book to a black boy." It was not what was in the book, because I could not read it ; it was the cover of the book and the gilt edges that struck my attention. I took that Bible home, and laid it by as a sort of memento. When I went to school, and when all the objections to our learning were removed, I learned to read the Bible. That Bible, sent by that little boy — who ho was I never knew — has made me what I am. It has carried me across the sea to dark Africa, and has enabled me to-day to say that God has used me, imperfect as my efforts have been, and to be a means in His hand of training at least forty young boys and men, who to-day preach the Gospel to their own brethren, in theii* own country. That Bible, my dear young friends, I need scarcely say, has not only done that, but it has done more. It has given me such a love for the work of God that it has been my happy privilege to stand side by side with Alfred Saker while the Bible was being translated; and these hands have had the privilege of printing the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, by the side of that noble man. We began without one single portion of God's Word in any of these languages, but we close the century to-day with you, children, lending a helping hand, so that we can turn to the East, and to the West, and to all nations where the Word of God is being translated, so that they can be reached by the missionaries, and can read for themselves. You began this century without one Christian, you close the century with himdi-eds and thousands of children that have been tramed by the missionaries, and are carrying back the Word of God to their own countiy, telling of the wonderful works of God. You stand to-day in the place of your fathers, willing to stretch out a helping hand. With your consecrated love, with your consecrated means, with your con- secrated prayer, you take the place of your fathers to carry on this great and noble work that has been handed down to you. May God give you success, and, as you bless others, pour richer blessing upon yourselves. The meeting was closed with prayer by the Rev. John Brown Myers. FINAL MEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON. MARCPI 20th and 21st, 1893. Q NORTHAMPTON. DEVOTIONAL MEETING. The Public Centenary Celebration was brought to a close by a series of meetings in Northampton on the 20th and 21st of March, 1893, the former of these dates being the hundredth anniversary of the day on which William Carey and John Thomas were solemnly set apart as our first missionaries to the heathen. The proceedings on Monday, the 20th, began with a devotional service in Mount Pleasant Chapel, Kettering Road, the Rev. G. W. Robert, of Kingsthorpe ; Mr. J. 0. Adams, of Bugbrooke ; Mr. J. B. Yokes, of Northampton ; and the Rev. A. C. G. Rendell, of Long Buckby, offered prayer. THE REV. THOMAS A. WHEELER, of Norwich, then addressed the assembly as under : — Beloved Brethren, — I am not in the secret of those wlio arranged these Centenary meetings, but I may be permitted to say they did well to give to this county of Nortbampton tbe honour of holding the final com- memoration of the first hundred years' work of the Baptist Missionary Society. For amongst all who helped to originate this Mission and all who laboui'ed to sustain and develop it, two men, intimately connected with Northamptonshire, stand pre-eminent, the very life and soul of it were they — Carey and Fuller. Without either of them, a hundred years ago the Bajjtist Missionary Society had not been. But we meet not for self- congratulation, but rather for thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty God : thanksgiving for the awakening of the Chm-ch to the perception of its high calling, and the gracious success given to missionary labours ; prayer that we may all more worthily discharge the great commission, and receive a richer harvest of blessing. For while with wonder we look at the spread of the Gosi)el in the century last passed, even as we gaze and marvel, a spirit of sadness troubles us. Our eyes rest on countless 440 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. myiiads who are living without God and without hope. By far the greater number of our brethren still sit in darkness and the shadow of death. For nearly two thousand years has gone up the prayer, "Thy Eangdom come." Why, then, do we yet wait for the kingdoms of this world to become the "Kingdom of our God and His Christ ? Is God indifferent to oui- prayer ? Is He unwilling to answer our request ? This cannot be. The revelation of God by our Lord Jesus Christ is the revelation of the Father loving His children ; yearning for their good and listening to their cry. It cannot be that Jesus should have taught us to pray " Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in heaven so on earth " if these great blessings, the sum of all blessings, were beyond our reach — were ideal good never to be realised in this hapless world. No, we are not straitened in God. "We ask and receive not because we ask amiss. It may be even while we pray there is wanting to us that true strong desire for the blessing wo are supplicating which is of the essence of real prayer, that yearning for what we ask, which makes us anxious and restless, until we see signs of its approach. Elias prayed for rain, but he sent his servant to the top of Carmel to look for the answer, and to look to the quarter whence it was most likely to come. Not to the north nor to the east, but to the south-west. Again and again the prophet prayed, and again and again he sent his messenger to look for the cloud bearing the welcome rain. We pray, "Thy Kingdom come," and rise to pursue our business and our pleasure, but think little more of our petition, even if we do not altogether forget it. We are not watching the labourers in the field ; we know little of the new ground they are beginning to till, little of the fair promise of lands already white to the harvest. We crave not the boon so as to be dis- appointed if it do not come. The great fight rages, but our eyes are not on the battlefield, and we ask few questions of : How goes the con- flict ? Is victory nigh ? WUl the conquest be completed ? Enough if we join in the shouts of triumph when the battle is won. Siurely it is small wonder God has not cared to give what we have so Httle cared to receive. We are so little interested in the manifold agencies for good in our own land that a very slight acquaintance with theii' operations suffices us, and we feel even less interest in philanthropic and religious work in foreign lands. True, we take missionary magazines — a few— of some particular societies, take them more regularly than we read them. At times we remember, in prayer, our brethren abroad and their message of mercy to the lost. But still the mission-field is largely a terr% inaxjnHa to us. We know more exactly what is being done to save those ruined by the Liberator than those ruined by sin. And all this lukewarmness comes from the weak and fitful thoughts we have of the awful condition of men living without God and without hope THE MEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON. 441 in the world. Look at them, millions upon millions born under condi- tions most favourable to the development of selfishness in its vilest forms, sun-ounded in youth and early manhood by influences which debase and degrade, and in riper years become the shameless perpetrators of vice and crime. " Not only doing the same, but having pleasure in them that do them." God forbid that we should lose the belief that in every nation are found men who fear God, work righteousness, and are accepted of Him. More, doubtless, than we in our tenderest feeling dare venture to hope, yet in such shipwreck as sin has made of our race, we can only say in sadness: Rari nantes in fjim/ite vasto : — and the myriads beside, what of them ? I care not in the presence of so appalling a ruin to discuss questions of future retribution. The very thought that the greater part of our race come short of the glory of God in their own personal well-being in this life, and in the life to come, is most intensely, unutterably sad. Who knows enough about the lost to lay to rest the terrible fears sin awakens, to satisfy the hope — faint and trembling — which our pity begets. The millions of men — our brethren— who know not God— say, brethren, what is their condition now ? What will be their state hereafter ? Oh, fellow disciples of the Lord Jesus, answer ! Some years ago a man advertised his intention to swim down a river in a tub, drawn by geese. It was in a seaport town, and was to take place about a mile and a half from the river's mouth, a little above a suspension bridge which crossed the stream, and under which bridge he was to pass. The start was cleverly made about the middle of ebb-tide, when the water was rushing out like a mill race, so that the man, his tub, and geese, were simply borne along by the current. As he neared the bridge, which was densely crowded with sightseers, all pushed to one side, the better to see the performer. Suddenly the bridge came down with a crash, right athwart the stream, and, -with a piercing yell, hundreds were hm-led into the water. The Avreck of the bridge itself, and the swirling tide, made rescue difficult, and some scores of poor creatures were di'owned. A friend of mine, old and infirm, who lived close by, in describing the calamity to me, said, " Sir, I heard that appalling shriek. I shall hear it as long as I Hve. I i-ushed to the river side, and saved two men." It is the wail of a lost world I hear, and I sometimes forget it when I pray. Sometimes catch it, only as a far-off echo, when I say, " Thy Kingdom come." I fear also that we do not so care for this priceless boon as to be willing to accept it in the way in which it seems best to om- Father in heaven to give it us — through our own devoted and self-sacrificing efforts to secure it. We are ready enough to repeat the petition, " Thy Kingdom come," but not ready " to become all things to all men, that by all means we might save some." Not ready " most gladly to spend and be spent out for the souls of men." At times, long .442 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. intermittent, we feel sometliing of tHs consecration to the Master's service, but the occasions are rare, and last not long. We do not give all — life, labour, thought, and means. We keep back pai-t of the price. When the great missionaiy to the Gentiles received his commission, he tells us " he was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, although the Holy Ghost testified unto him in every city, saying, that bonds and imprison- ment awaited him." Nor once did he shrink from the suffering and toil of the service. "Even unto this present hour we both himger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling- place." " We are made as the filth of the world, the off-scouring of all things, even until now." But we tremble at the thought of such pri- vation and suffering, and comparing oiu'selves with ourselves we are easily led to conclude that our labour is heavy and our gifts are great, when if we looked at them in the light of oiu' debt to the Lord, or put them side by side with those of His servants, who have given up all for Christ, we should be confounded and ashamed. Is the price too high for the possession we seek, even though that price be everything I have and every moment I live ? ' ' Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth," done by all men everywhere, always ! Oh, could it be for one day only, what a wondrous world this would become ! No malice, hate, lust, falsehood, envy, uncharitableness, selfishness ; no vice, no crime. We should bring back Eden's happiness, because we had brought back Eden's sinlessness. It may be for a lesser good, the salva- tion of some individual life, we would meet all losses, possessions, liberty, life ; but for this, the greatest good of all, the highest glory of God, we are not prepared to live nor prepared to die. Doubtless there are many who do thus verify the truth of theii* prayers — men who know and feel that they are not their own, but are bought with a price, and who live, not to themselves, but to the Lord. God in mercy multiply them a thousandfold ! The majority of us, I fear, realise this condition but rarely ; it is intermittent, not constant, and brightens oui- lives only as fitful gleams of sunshine brighten a doubtful day. We commonly Uve at a lower level, where earth-born mists so magnify the cost and self- sacrifice required for such a life of devoted service, that we hesitate, shrink from it, and fall short of manhood in Christ Jesus. To all such, who feel themselves as I do, thus deficient, I speak. Dear brethren, is it, after all, a wonder that our jirayer is not answered; that our Lord delayeth His coming; and that we see not yet all things subjected to Him? Moreover, it may be questioned Avhether we are not guilty of the foUy of praying "Thy Kingdom come" without any deep and tme feehng that the reign of God over our own hearts and lives is not yet complete. We smile at the self-complacency which leads a man to apply to others the rebukes and counsels which are meant for himself, and which all but THE MEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON. 443 he can see to be most appropriate. If the habit of hearing for other people is both common and pernicious, I fear (that in the same sense) the habit of praying for them is not less so. We know the heathen have need of these inestimable blessings, so for them we ask that the "Kingdom of our Father in heaven may be established, and that by them His will may be done, as in heaven, so on earth. In their misery and ignorance and danger, they must have this boon or die ; while we ourselves, like unruly children, are but imperfectly subject to oui- Father, forgetful of His supremacy, and often disobedient to His commands. I sometimes think that God does not always give what I ask on behalf of others, that I may be made to feel my own personal need of the self-same grace. Am I such a saint that I am fit to be engrossed by the activities for making other men holy as the sons of God ? Who that hears me recommend this balm of Gilead would not say, " Physician, heal thyself" ? God will not have us forget our OAvn shortcomings in our efforts to supply the wants of our brethren. As I come nearer that time when every thought and feeUng, every word and deed of my life shall be brought into subjection to the Gospel of Christ, my prayer shall be purged of all incongi-uity, and with life as well as lip I cry, ' ' Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." A Church, purified, zealous, devoted, shall be found to offer up the poet's prayer : — " Come forth of Thy royal chamber, O Piince of all the kings of the earth. Put on the visible robes of Thy Imperial Majesty. Take to Thyself the universal sceptre which Thy Almighty Father hath bequeathed Thee. For now the voice of Thy bride summons Thee, and all natiire sighs to be renewed." While in gracious response He shall be manifest among His people, "as the light of the morning Avhen the smi riseth, even a mornina* mthout clouds." 444 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. SERMON BY THE EEY. E. GLOVER, D.D. In the afternoon a large congregation met in College Street Chapel, when Dr. Glover preached a special Centenary sermon, basing his discourse on the same Scripture from which Andrew Fuller a hundred years ago, that very date, had addressed William Carey and John Thomas, on their departure to India, the text being found in the Gospel of John xx. 21 : — '■'■ Then said Jesus to them again, Peace he unto you ; as My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you.'" Dr. Glover said : — On March 20, 1793, there were services throughout the day at Hai-vey Lane Chapel, Leicester — a prayer-meeting in the morning, sermon in the afternoon, sermon at night. It was the ordination of Carey and Thomas on the eve of their departm-e for India. The services culmi- nated in the charge to the missionaries given by Andrew FuUer. He chose these words as his text, and from them discoursed on certain lines of identity between the Saviour's work and the work that they would do. He urged that they were to pursue the same objects as their Saviour, follow the same guidance, that they were to meet with the same difficulties, that they would find the same support and the same reward. In after years Carey often reverted to this text and the exhortations which his friend founded upon it to get quickening and comfort in the midst of his exhausting work. So the biographer tells us. And yet aU of us feel at once that beneath and behind these external events there was something else. What happened was this. When the doors were shut and the disciples assembled, praying for a lost world, their Lord stood in their midst and filling these two men with peace, said, "As My Father sent Me, so send I you." He breathed on them, they received the Holy Ghost, and thereupon addi-essed themselves to theii- great work for Christ. Christ's lips are not sealed in silence, and from time to time He finds men to whom He can give this charge, and men who can accept it, and if we would understand the last obedience to these words we will do so best by marking the first, and if we would imderstand the first we would do so best by marking the last. I feel that it is fitting that the text, with its historic force and influence, should occupy oui- minds this afternoon. May God help us that it may become an engrafted word upon all our hearts, changing them by its influence THE MEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON. 445 upou thoin, and that, in our hearing of it, it may havo something of the effect which it had on Carey. Amidst very much that must, of course, pass unnoticed I want to dwell on three gi-eat mysteries that meet together in these words. (I.) I ask you to look fii'st of all at this mystery : that Christ finds men fit for His Divine ivorh. That is a mystery, for the work that Christ came to do Avas supreme and unimaginable — to make all things new ; to restore all things ; to destroy the works of the devil ; to change the hearts of men, and turn them into currents of good, of faith and love ; to take away sin, to make new heavens and a new earth. Many would think that even the angels were unfit for a work like that. Some think that God would not be fit for it, and that, with all His omnipotence, the element in which He would have to work would be so refractory in His hands that it would be impossible for even Him to achieve it. And yet the Saviour's heart is not depressed on that resurrection morning by the thought that His work will languish for want of workers, and that, now He is about to depart, it wiU di-oop because of the impotence of the disciples around Him. But part of the bHss of that great Resurrection- day is exactly here, that rising. He finds souls fit with all exquisite fitness for the work He wants to be done. Not, perhaps, as some men coimt fitness. They had as yet no theology and less philosophy if that could be ; no station, no means, no name. Three days ago they had all forsaken Him and fled. Thomas was still resentful in his un- belief and refused to believe. Were they fit ? Let us look at what elements of fitness Christ found in them. First, there had been in them a Divine hunger for salvation that made them tmn away from the husks of the earth and seek a Saviour, which made them "wait for redemption in Jerusalem," and set them on the quest of heavenly mercies. That is an element of the fitness. Then, though there was much that their eyes had not seen and mastered, they had been touched with Divine "euphrasy and rue" which had given them insight enough to see the glory of the Son of Man, to be charmed by His beauty, drawn by His love, and to trust Him implicitly as their Guide, Teacher, Leader, Master. That was fitness. Then, when you look a little further you find the supreme quality of Faithfulness. Many are glad to follow Christ when He walks in the siuishinc of popular enthusiasm, but when the frown of men begins to fall upon Him they fall away. But these, alike when they were in Galilee, when the crowd sought to crown Christ, and in Jerusalem when they were crying, " Away with Him ! crucify Him ! " still kept true to Him and were faithful to Him m their hearts through evil report and good report. "They were with Him in His temptations." "Let us go \\'ith Him that we may die with Him " was the brave utterance of 446 THE CENTENARY CELEBEATION. their faith, despaiiing but divine. They had faithfulness to follow, and although they were dispersed and had forsaken Him, you see at once that there is all the difference in the world between a failiu-e which is the development of long defection and a failiu-e that is due to some- thing unexpected breaking in upon their souls. Though they left Him, they gathered at His cross, and at last mot together to lay Him in His grave. They were faithful still. That was an element of fitness which we should note. Then they had God's Peace. The Saviour's salutation of Peace assured them of then- pardon; filled their hearts with joy, and permitted them to enter into all the vague but glorious gladness of that Easter morn. The meaning of Calvary they did not yet know, and the issues of that resm-rection they could not, as yet, foresee. But still they had Christ beside them— Grace glowed triumphant. Heaven felt near, and God was seen to be a Father that did not disown the Saviour, whom they trusted, but was His God and their God. A new hope of gladness and visions of bright glory filled their souls with vital peace. That Avas an element of fitness. Then they had Eoom for the Holy Ghost. Christ fills us, all of us, as full as we can hold with the Holy Ghost— but, alas! most of us can hold but little. There is no room for Him in many of our hearts. But there was in these men hunger for His grace — that was room; there was in them sympathy with the purpose of Christ — that was room; there was in them the wish for usefulness — that was room; there was willingness to obey His every impulse — that was room. And having room for Him, Christ breathed into them the Holy Ghost, and said, "Whosoever's sins ye remit, they shall be remitted." Some, with that gift of turning wine into water which many have, think that what is here described is a prerogative of an official. Obviously, brethren, that is not what Christ meant. He meant that God's spirit would be in their word, that when they preached forgiveness then- j)reaching would awake the penitence and longing and the faith that would welcome it ; so that their words would convey the thing which they jjroclaimed. And that when they called on men to repent, God's spii-it would be in their word, and bind men's consciences and quicken them to thought of sin and the fear of judgment till, making sin a burden, it brought them to repentance. Thus, there was in them Hunger, Enlightenment, Faithfulness, Peace with God, and Eoom for the influence of the Holy Ghost. Finding these, the Saviour had no cloud upon His ascending spirit, but re- joiced in the souls around Him as nobly fit for all His work. And findino- this fitness He passed by the rich and the priests and the philosophers and all the rest and chose them. Brethren, why do I dwell on this ? I dwell on this because of two THE MEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON. 447 simple lessons tliat lie in it. I want you to mark, first, that every item of fitness for the work of God is something that is attainable. Wealth comes but to very few. Influence is so long in gatheiing that life is almost spent before it can be employed. We cannot all get these things, and if the work of God depended on them we niiglit despair. But the Peace that reads its title clear to mansions in the skies — that is within reach of you and me. And some Knowledge of Christ, and some power of holding the Holy Ghost, the lowliest may have. The humblest can hunger and thirst after righteousness. And the feeblest can be faithful. I want to impress upon my o^vn heart and yoiu-s that we must not look away to distant and unattain- able things. It is the common elements of sanctity and character that are the supreme elements that fit men for the work of God. And if we will, we can get, each one of us, the supreme qualities, and be fit for the work that is to be done. And I urge this for a second reason ; that we may mark, each for himself, how many elements of fitness we possess that we do not use. Brethren, nobody needs more grace to do good. What he wants is to use the gi'ace that he has got. Christ did not say, ' ' My grace -will bo sufficient, viz., when more is added." Not that. "My grace is sufficient" : the mere grain that is in you is sufficient. There is a latent omni- potence that is enough for the work to be done. Can we not see this, that there is the same force and fitness in the Gospel to-day ? Perhaps hero the Gospel is stale and the Gospel-hardened world is tired of it. But utter the fact that we have got a Father, a Saviour, Forgive- ness of sins, a Home above, and these would come as the sublimest novelties of God, turning the thickest darkness of a heathen Avorld into morning light. And Peace — is the force of that an unintelligible thing to us ? It is a common thing, and we are accustomed to behold it. All of us know many whose sorrows have been turned into serenity, and who are filled with the Peace of God. Here their peace wakes no surprise ; but put such men in heathen lands, they have a secret which thousands would give then- lives to know, for the only kinds of peace they know are those which are either opiate or despair. And so this vital Peace that hopes for heaven and yet enjoys earth and walks with brow touched with heavenly light — this Peace is i)Ower. So the first mystery in these words is that Christ finds souls fit for His work. Oh, let us pray for that sublime fitness! Oh, let us use it if we have got it ! (II.) Now, leavmg that, I turn to a second and greater mystery. The fitness that Ho finds is the first mystery — 'The tvorh that lie (jives is the second. "As My Father hath sent Me into the world even so send I you." One would have imagined that if man were to be used at all it would be for some obscure, rudimentary, external work. But here 44& THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. the Saviour associates us with all His work, and, apparently excepting no line of activity or mercy on which He worked, He says, " As My Father hath sent Me even so send I you." Few words so brief hold so immense a meaning. He came to be the Light of the world, by what He was and what He did and what He said. And He expects us to be the light of the world, in the same way. He came to be the Consoler of man. He was our consoler by the suggestion of His peace, by the contagion of His trust, by His declaration of God's love, by the preaching of forgiveness, by the sympathy He expressed with all the common woes of life, by the throne of Providence He revealed and the Heaven He disclosed. And He expects us to be consolers of men in similar ways. He came to destroy the works of the devil ; He faced, fought and destroyed what was evil. And He expects us to face and to fight and to overcome every form of evil which hurts our fellow-men. He came to be a sacrifice — to express that self-sacrifice which is the everlasting habit of God, and by sacrifice to bless man. Of course, no sacrifice of sinful men can be atoning, and that sort of effect and result is, necessarily, out of view. But He comes expecting us to take up a cross hke that of Calvary, and to follow Him; to catch the spirit of Calvary, the hunger that He had to taste, and by tasting take away, the woes of man; the desire to share, and by sharing relieve, their sorrows. He comes to give a universal benediction, and expects us to do the same. He associates us with Himself in all His office?. He is a Prophet ; He expects us to be Prophets finding truth in communion with God and uttering it by His inspiration. He expects us to be Priests, linking the world to heaven by our intercessions. Obscure though we may be. He expects us to be Kings, and to reign with the sway of a subtle kingship, with the charm of love, and the beauty of holiness and the leadership which all feel to be in those that follow Chiist. He sends us to every class as He came to every class^ to the Pharisee in his comfortless pride ; to the Publican in his despaii-ing contrition ; to the philosopher in his light which has no warmth or kindling in it; to the child whose weakness needs some guarding and whose wistfulness will take our better guidance. He came to every class and sends us to every class, to rich and poor, to barbarian and Scythian, to the bond, and the free, to the wise and the unwise. He comes to achieve all impossibilities that need to be effected, and He charges us to do the same, to do everything impossible that needs to be done, to give freedom to the nations, light to those in dark- ness, to end war, to stop the cruelties of barbaric lands, and to heal the vices of civilisation. He expects us to attempt and to achieve aU the heavenly impossibilities that wait to bless the world by their achievement. And yet He knew that three days ago they forsook Him and fled, and He gives them this to do. Was Christ dreaming ? Was He laying on them THE MEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON. 449 a burden whicli neither they nor their children were able to bear P Nay. He would not overdrive His flock a single moment. " Come ye into the desert and rest awhile," He said. The gradualness of growth was Hie choice — " first the blade, then the ear, then the full com in the ear." But He felt that with His example, with their peace, with the growing impetus which goodness gathers, with the consolidation of purpose that comes with all usefulness, cheered forward by the smile of God and the gi'atitude of man, there would grow in every one of them the power that would let them bo in the world as He Avas in it. I want you to mark this again, because again it is full of matter worthy of our thought. Who is there of us that takes the great Christ as his pattern — Calvary as his law ? We set om-selves to embody the customary and the conventional, not to repeat the Chiist and to bo in tho world as He was in it. And yet that is possible, brethren. Has it ever struck you that tho examijlo of Christ, while in one sense it was so inimitable that no angel of heaven could catch its perfect tenderness of spiiit, is yet at the same time more imitable than any mere human example whatever ? It is so natural, spontaneous, free — has such manifold sympathies, is so childlike, that no example has so many points that we can copy as that of Christ ? Brethren, we have to get out of our smaller ideas and feeble faith. Christ means us to be in the world as He was in it. Oh, what we lose by not attempting it ! It is often easier to be hot than lukewarm, to be thorough than to be half and half, and to go completely for Christ than to halt between two opinions and f erve Him gi-udgingly. How much we lose of zest, of life, of faith, of usefulness by aiming low ! Brethren, the second mystery of these words is this : that Christ expects each of us to be a miniature of Himself ; sealed on the brow with the Hkeness of Calvary ; weeping as He wept over Jerusalem, serving as He served, suffeiing as He suffered. " As My Father hath sent Me into the world so send I you." Oh, that God would open our hearts, however slightly, to admit an obligation so quickening, inspiring, and enriching. (III.) But there is another mystery here, the third, greater than either of the other two. That He should find fitness for His work is a gi-eat mystery, that He should give such work to that fitness is a greater; hat in the fact that His disciples accept this chanje, there is the greatest mystery of all. Brethren, does it not seem as if they also had risen from the dead that day ? The thought of such a charge never dismays them, it does not disturb the peace that Christ has given them, but deepens and quickens it. And weak as they are, they stand up in their manhood, in their love, and in their duty, and address them- selves to these Divine functions. Look how they stand at Pentecost. Herod kills one of them and wishes to kUl more ; chief priests persecute ; kings of the earth rage and luiite together against the Lord and His 29 450 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. anoiiited. There is nothing before them in this world but the experi- ence of rejeotion and contempt and hatred and death. And yet with what gladness they go forth and address themselves to this great work and pursue it ! Some one says, But it was a momentary enthusiasm that would die away. But did it die away ? We know John in his old age, his very old age ; and we know Peter in his old age ; and we know Paul in his old age ; and we know James, the writer of the Epistle, in his old age. And the marvel is that their willinghood and faith and obedience are greater in their age than they were in their youth. You remember how John speaks, " Hereby perceive we the love of God, in that He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren." Sixty years he has kept his lesson in memory, and it is there prolific of morcy to the crowning end. And you know how Paul wanted one thing, to know the fellowship of Christ's sufferings, to be con- formed to His death, to die with Him that he might reign with Him. And you know how Peter, rich in ardour, Avith the dew of youth on him in his old age, still rejoices in the Saviour's love, and still exhibits the daring and mercy of his youth. It was no enthusiasm that died out, but it was Obedience that grew. And to-day we mark with wondering mai^vel what the Gospel wrought from Jerusalem round about to lUyi'icum, from Rome to Spain, from Alexandria to Gyrene, from Antioch to Babylon, in the apostles' day. By the end of the first century, I suppose, it entered India. By the end of the second century it had reached far along the trade-routes of Central Asia, had probably entered China on the east and Britain on the west. Ah, if that consecration had lasted ; if priests had not come in the place of prophets, and regulation in the place of inspiration, and rites in the place of love, we might not have had to face the work waiting for us to face to-day. But still, in all ages since, elect souls have heard Christ saying, ' ' As My Father hath sent Me even so send I you," and they have set themselves to act on that principle and have found it work. So it is with the century's history that is closed to-day. These men wont forth. You know with what modesty — wondrous modesty — with what heroism, with what patience, with what joy Carey went to his work and sought to be in the world as Christ was in it ! He expected great things from God ; and He attempted great things for God. But we don't always remember that, expecting and attempting great things for God, he achieved things greater than he either expected or attempted. For do you think Carey, in his bravest and most prayerful moments, knew how God would use him to the quickening of the Church, to the development of compassion in her heart, to the extension of Christendom at home, to the gathering in of hundreds of thousands of souls abroad, to the emancipation of millions of slaves, to the changing of so many wildernesses into gardens of the THE MEETINOS IN NORTHAMPTON. 451 Lord ? Ah, no, brethren ! Exceeduig abundantly above what ho expected, aye, or attempted, he achieved. Is there not a message from all these things ? Is there not a still small voice from that distant humble service entering all our hearts and whispering appealingly that our standard has been too low ? Many of us never think of the sin of that. We only think of the sin of falling short of our standard. But the chief sin of all of us lies in this, that our standard falls short of what it should be. Is there not a whisper from these things that we have been burying our talents and neglecting t(i use our powers ? Is there not a call to enter where the doors are open and misery abounds and darkness broods, where Christ would be the Light of Life to men ? Ah, brethren, again, this house is the upper room and the Master is here, and by these memories He says to you and me, " As My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you." God help us to accept the charge, and to find immortal enlargement and usefulness in obeying it. 29* 452 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. THE PUBLIC MEETING. In the evening a large assembly gathered in College Street Chapel, under the presidency of Mr. W. R. Eickett, the Treasurer of the Society. After the Rev. F. T. Smythe, the minister of Mount Plea- sant Chapel, Northampton, had announced the hymn, " 0 Spirit of the living God," and the Rev. T. M. Morris had invoked the Divine blessing, MR. A. H. BAYNES made the following introductory remarks :— My voice is oftou heard iu Northamptou, and certaiuly this is uot the occasion for me to take up yoiu* time. But I think you should know the position of om- Sj)ecial Centenary Fund up to date. "We have received in cash and promises £110,800. And I think it is also a matter for thank- fulness that, notwithstanding we gave donors the option of spreading their contributions over three years, we have actually received in hard cash £97,000, leaving something less than £13,000 outstanding. I have received to-day — -and I say this with a feeling of great gratitude — many proofs of the deep and practical interest friends in Northampton are taking in this Centenary movement, and I hope that, as the result of these Centenary gatherings here, that I may receive further practical proofs of your generous sympathy. May I say that Mr. Brown, the respected minister of this church, has instructed me to say he will be very glad to receive any contributions that may be given towards the fund ? Those who would prefer to send their contributions direct to the Mission House in London can do so. I shall be glad to receive con- tributions there. I wish to say, on behalf of the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society, that we all greatly rejoice in the catholic character of our platform to-night. I have felt for years past that this foreign missionary enterprise of the Christian Church is the best practical Evangelical Alliance that I know of. You have only to travel through the East or through any missionary country to find out how much perfect brotherhood there is, how much happy union. It seems fitting that in this Mecca of our Mission we should have the Treasiu-er of our own Society to preside. Then we have the great "Wesley an Missionary Society represented by our honoured father and friend, Dr. Jenkins, THE MEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON, 453 We aro greatly indebted to Dr. Jenkins for coming here to-night against medical orders, and I am sure we shall all bo inspired by the words he will speak. Then we have the great London Missionary Society represented by my friend, Mr. Wardlaw Thomp- son. Mr. Thompson is a very difficult man to catch. We read in the papers of his being in China one month, in India the next, and a little later back in Blomfiold Street, furthering good work there. The Presbyterian Society is represented by our old fiiend. Dr. Swanson. I was talking with a distinguished Presbyterian last week, and he said Avith regard to Dr. Swanson : " You know, he suffers from China on the brain." It is a blessed disease, andlhojie, as the result of our gathering to-night, we shall be inoculated with it. I am quite sure, if we were all to suffer from that disease, it would do us great good. Then we have our own friend and brother, Mr. Bailey, who recently has shown in a very practical shape the interest he takes in this Mission by extricating himself from the sunny surroundings of Sheffield and going out to the West Indies. We owe a great debt of gratitude to Mr. Bailey and to his colleague, Mr. Greenhough. One other word. I wish, on behalf of the Committee of the Mission, to thank Mr. Brown, the minister of this church, and aU the ministers in Northampton, and hosts of kind friends for thoughtful kindness in connection with this gathering. We shall take away golden memories of our meetings, and I hoije, by God's blessing, we shall be able to translate them by a finer enthusiasm into a completer consecration, MR. W. R. RICKETT, the Chairman, then rose and said : — - I think it was a very happy thought that suggested Northampton as the place to hold the last of our Centenaiy gatherings. The town and coimty of Northampton has been so prolific in missionary enthusiasts and mis- sionary labour, that it would hardly have seemed right not to have closed our meetings in the place we now are. As one thinks of College Street, Northampton, one associates with it our dear friend, the Eov. J. T. Brown, who, now for nearly half a century, has been the minister of this j)lace. We are profomidly thankful that that ministry has been conducted with such honour to himself, and such usefulness to the town and county in which he lives. I hope that when he retu-es from the pastorate here he may spend a quiet time of peace and happiness, and under the shadow of the Almighty God. When we wei'e making the arrangements for our Centenary gatheiings, we resolved that, if possible, we would gather in to our aid the sum of £100,000 as a thank-offering, and, further, that we would increase the income of the Society to £100.000. I am thankful to say that we have 454 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. obtained a sum in excess of what we expected, and still there is more to come in. It occurred to us it would be a very happy thing that the sum we should ultimately collect should not only discharge all the liabilities of the Society, but should leave £100,000 for new and extended work. "Whether that may be accomplished, I cannot tell, I pray that it may. So that you see we have great cause for thankfulness to Almighty God for His goodness to us in the year now closing upon us. It has been a year of hard laborious work for Mr. Myers, Mr. Baynes, and many brethren in different parts of the country ; but it has been, indeed, a labour of love. We congratulate them and ourselves that their laboxirs have not been in vain, but, as far as these thanksgiving funds are concerned, their labour has been fruitful of much good, and their prayers abundantly answered. There have been disappointments even in connection with this work. There are churches in this land that do not contribute any- thing to the funds, and several members of churches also who have not attained to the privilege of becoming subscribers to the Society. Another cause for great thankfulness is, that during the year now closing upon U3 we have not lost a missionary in all our fields, and, besides, we have such a good body of true missionaries that, as I think of them, I cannot think of one man we should like to be rid of. These things inspii-e us to further effort under a sense of om- obligation to Almighty God to pui-sue the future with more diligence and devotedness than in the past. But whilst the raising of £100,000 has been one object of the Centenary, there is one more important and far more difficult object, in our view, and that is to increase our income to £100,000. In my opinion, our many churches have not yet arisen to their obligations and privileges. The Divine command, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel unto every creature," is the supreme command of our Lord Jesus Christ. It has the same authority as the other command, " This do in remembrance of Me." It seems that the Church has not yet arisen to the level of its privileges and responsibilities in this matter. There ought not to bo a single member of the Church of Jesus Christ who has not subscribed, and is not personally interested in the extension of Christ's Kingdom throughout the world. As we are now closing one Centenary, we are entering on another, and I hope the one we are entering will be signalised by a crusade in all our churches in order to attain unto that stage of which I have spoken. I hope that we shall go forward with renewed energy and zeal, determined that each member of our respective communities shall have an opportunity distinctly afforded to contribute to the extension of the Gospel of Christ throughout the world. It seems to me that if there was any distinct command of Jesus Christ, it was, ' ' Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel unto every creature." And those of us who have enjoyed the pi'ivileges of the Gospel and have been made new creatures should not only desire that others should experience the THE 3IEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON. 455 quickening we ourselves have felt : but there is also a command which leaves us and them no option, and I think we should not rest until every Christian man and woman partakes of its privileges. When Carey started his missionary work, everything was agamst him except the command of God, and His promises to those who carried out those commands in a true spii'it. He had no sympathy from many of his friends of the churches, or the greater part of the neighbourhood in which he lived. All that has changed now. There are no hindrances, and we can now go forward anywhere, and wherever we go with the Gospel we are welcomed. And then Ave have proved that the Gosjiel is suitable for the requu-ements of every hving creature, no matter what country or nation. And then there is a desire for it among those to whom it has been taken. There is a ciy, Send more missionaries, which it is our duty to cope with to the utmost of oiu- possibilities. Then the Bible is translated into many languages. All these and many other things testify to the onward march of foreign missions. Well then, let vis see that in the time to come we raise our income, and when the next Centenary of these gatherings will arrive, which, perhaps, our great grandchildren will be privileged to see, we all, I am sure, join in the hope that then the Gospel will have been taken everywhere, and that there may not then be one living man or woman who will not have heard the joyful news of salvation through Jesus Christ. REV. W. S. SWANSON, D.D., of the Presbjteriaii Mission, was the first speaker. He said : — • I am extremely happy to be here to-night to do what I can to show my gratitude to this Missionary Society, which was first in the field, and influenced others to the work of Christ among the heathen. I consider it a great privilege to give my testimony to the usefulness of this Baptist Missionary Society, and to express my own gratitude to it. More especially do I rejoice in the knowledge that the true missionary spirit is making such progress in all the churches of Christ in Christendom. I do not speak solely of the Foreign Mission, for, it seems to me, it must have been a man, it could never have been a woman, who first made any distinction between home and foreign missions. I think the use of these terms has sometimes served as a pretext for getting away from duty, or rather away from privilege. The mission of Christ is for all humanity. There is, or should be, no division of home or foreign missions ; and I shall be glad when we cease to use those distinctive terms, and feel that wherever humanity is to be found without the knowledge of Christianity, there the Gosi)el sliovdd be spread. Notwithstandiiig all that has been said this evening, I feel that we are only just beginning this great work, and that we are really only on the 456 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. very threshold of it. I am sometimes told that the Mission is an organi- sation of the Church, which I hold to be an erroneous idea. I do not beHeve the Mission is an organisation of the Church ; but I believe the Church is an organisation of the Mission. The Church of Christ that does not put the Mission in the forefront is away from the heart of Christ ; and if I go and analyse all the annual reports and statements of churches, I do not always find the Mission in the forefront ; and, so long as something else is in the forefront, I consider that that Church has not caught the true spirit of their Master. I feel, moreover, that the spiritual life of a chui-ch must oaly come from the attitude the Church takes with regard to the Mission. I was born and bred a Presby- terian, or rather I was bom and bred a Seceder. That is the strictest sect of the Presbyterians, and I never thought it would be my privilege to have anything to do with a foreign mission. I felt that I was going to live a protesting life and to die a protesting death — to protest, that is, against everybody else in the world except myself. By the provi- dence of God I was led to the 1 22nd degree of east longitude, and I found things assume a different aspect. When I reached China things appeared to me more and more in their true proportion. When I was at school a rule I learnt was called simple propoiiion, and I think that is a rule for all the churches at the i^resent day. I used to think a gi-eat deal when I was a student about the Westminster Confession, the Solemn League and Covenant, and other such old and valuable documents, but when I got away into the East I forgot them all. They vanished in the distance ; my creed was shortened ; things seemed to get into then- true proportion, and thus I come ready to-night to rejoice most heartily with Baptists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Methodists, or any other body that can-ies on in a right spirit the extension of God's Kingdom on earth. Yet some parts of the old creed would lead me to extirpate all opponents out of the land. I was face to face eventually with what was the proper work of a Christian and a Christian Church, and my creed came to this : — Men and women all round the world are great sinners, and Jesus Christ is a great Saviour ; and fired by the power of the Holy Spirit I hope I have tried Avith some enthusiasm to carry that Gospel of His wherever I was led to go. It seemed the time had come to revert to the original state of things. I was now an apostle. What is an apostle ? I take it he is not a man who is put into a stained glass window, covered with gaudy robes and with a halo of glory shilling above his head. That is not an apostle. That sort of thing has done a great deal in this world to put things out of their true pi'opoi-tion. Wherever you find an apostle mentioned all through the New Testament, read missionary and you will be far better off. You will thus move away from conventional morbid sentiment on this matter. I do not think there will be any reaj spiritual pro gress in the world unless THE MEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON. 457 the missions are based on the lines which Christ Himself adopted. I am thankful that we are coming to it, but we have not reached the highest stage yet by any means, either in the working or the extent of oiu* operations. We talk of our self-denial too. Whj, we have not begun it. We have not taken the first step towards it ; and when I heard Mr. Baj-nes asking for £100,000 a year I thought that if I were he I woidd have asked for a million. Seriously, I do not think that would have been too much. But I must come to my o%\ti diocese, and that is China, the coun- try where I have lived so long. It has been my privilege to be a missionary there for many years, from the denomination to Avhich I belong ; and when I speak of China I speak of the greatest field of mission labour in the world. In itself it stretches from sun-bin-nt plains in the south to ice-boimd regions in the north, and from its eastern shores right away to the confines of our ovra empire in India. There are 380 millions of people within its borders, and, outside these, 100 millions of people dominated by the same civilisation, and looking up to China as their o-s^ti land. I went through a University course, and I had a good deal to do with dead languages and dead civilisations, and all I learnt from them about China was that it was a big countiy away in the East peopled with beings who wore tails and had squint- eyes. That was a liberal education. I did not know there was a land out in the East with a civilisation of a most remarkable and unique kind. I did not know that before Assp'ia, or Persia, or Greece, or Eome had ever begun there was a civilised people in China, I did not know about their literature being the oldest in the world except the Book of God, I knew nothing of all that, although I had a very Liberal education. I wish I had learnt more about these living people than about dead peoples and dead languages. Wlien I got out to China I had my eyes opened, and although I am a Scotchman I had my common sense somewhat increased, I was face to face ^svith the most quick-witted, intelligent people on the whole face of the globe. Wliy, the Chinese are the great problem of GUI- own colonial statesmen, and of that groat Kepublic of the West, for they spread themselves all over the world. I have been round and roimd it, and have never been in any place where I did not meet a Chinaman and a Scotchman, and you cannot say that of any other country in the East except China. Having powers that are bound to make them a potential factor in the history of the world, it seems to me that China is the gi'eat battle-ground of Christianity. I do not decry missionary work in any other part of the world, but I say this without hesitation, that there are none more worthy of biinging round to Christianity than the Chinese people, who, I thank God, are coming round to the Lord's side. I could point you to two pictm-es in connection ^\^th a mission of my 458 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. own Churcli in South China. Thii-ty years ago we had a few tens of individuals in connection with us, and what have we to-day ? In the southern part of China we have 4,000 persons in the full communion with oui- Chui'ch. We had only two stations when I went out. We have now 135 churches and stations, and eleven of them with their own pastors and entirely self-supporting. We have our native organised churches ; and not only that, we have three great centres in the South of China conducting and directing missions at the expense of the native Church, and sending theii- own men to preach the Gospel in regions where it has never before been heard. I thank God that there were two convictions burnt into the hearts of those who preceded me in the work. One of those convictions was that these Chinese native churches which grew up were not to be looked upon as something of an aiJix to the Presbyterian Church at home, and the second conviction was that a native Church should be self-supported, self-governed, self-propagating, and to give facilities to them to see that aU those things are carried out. I have tjomething else to say about the remarkable leaps and bounds that have been made in oui- work from time to time. There were no specially appointed lady missionaries when I went out there ; now Ave have many, and a large staff of medical missionaries. Our lady mission- aries are getting hold of the women of China, for if you get the mothers, you get the husbands and the sons and the daughters. I thank God for what I have seen, and if any man had told me thirty years ago that I should have lived to see what I have seen already, I would have thought it was impossible. There are trials and persecutions in the face of which the Church of Christ in China is being built up; but it is steadily progressing, and there is nothing more important in the beginning of missionary work than to see that those who form the foundation of your Church are men and women of true honesty and power ; and I do not think that in any Church of Christ anywhere you have more faithful, earnest, and powerful men and women than we have in our native Church in China. I think sometimes there is a great mistake made upon this point. The standard laid down for native Christians is somewhat higher than the standard here. I do not know why it should be so. I do not believe the Chinese Christians are archangels without wings. I do not think so ; I do not find many of that kind even here. But I know that, taking them man and woman with man and woman at home, they wiU stand the test in Christian life and Christian conduct. I have talked about apostles, and I will end with apostles. We read in the Acts of the Apostles — and every day is proving it in mission-fields — that this missionary work, wherever it goes, is beau- tifying and blessing lives and homes. I heard the other day of an old woman who came to one of our hospitals in China and wanted to see I THE MEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON. 459 the doctor. The doctor saw her, and he said, "What's -svi-ong -with you?" "Oh," she replied, "is there anybody here to hear me?" "No, nobody except myself," replied the doctor. "I will tell you," she said; "you know such a man?" "Yes; he was in this hospital for six or seven weeks, and he has gone home." " You know that he was mayor of om- town." In eveiy town in China they elect a number of town councillors, and they meet and appoint one of their number as chairman of the town council. Town councillors there do not exactly occupy the same position they do here. Every town coun- cillor of a certain ward, if in that ward a theft is committed, has to find the thief or restore the propei-ty ; if there is a murder, he has to find the mui-derer or pay the penalty. Well, this man happened to be mayor of the town, and the woman went on with her stoiy. She said : "That man was one of the worst men in all the countryside. He oppressed the people; his mouth was so filthy that the whole water of the river that flowed past our town would not clean it. He was a fearful gambler, and his wife and children were in con- tmual misery." "Well, what about it ? " said the doctor. "Well, he came here, and was here for some time, and came back again, and his mouth was clean, and he ceased to gamble and did not oppress the people any more ; his wife did not know he was the same man, because he did not thrash her, and his childi-en were happy." ' ' What about it ? " said the doctor. " Well," she replied, " I do not want anybody to hear me, my mouth is not clean, I gamble, and I do know my daughter- in-law is not so comfortable as she might be, and I have come here to-day for some of the medicine you gave to that man, that I may be cured in exactly the same way that he was." These are the evidences of Christianity, and the best evidences of Christianity. I am perfectly certain that we shall win, because we are on Christ's side, and that is the winning side. I know that Avhen His Cross was planted in this world's soil it got a hold it never will let go until the world has been won to Himself. I am certain, for my King has come, and His Kingdom is coming all over the world, and I have no need to hang my head with shame for the Gospel of Christ. It is leaving its mark all round the world in purified hearts and happy homes, and none of you can imder- stand what an amomit of blessing a Society of this kind is spreading all over the world ; and if you only knew it you would rise to some sense of the privilege God has laid to your hands, and try and bless these lands with the same life and light and blessing that have come to this. We are going to win the day, and we go on in faith and prayer because we know that our cause rests on the foundation of Christ's finished work, and His Spiiit's power, and His Father's love. If I had nothing else to assure me of it, I would be assured of it by some Avords I learned at my mother's knee. You can find them out for youi-selves, not exactly in the same 460 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. way as they came to me, but if you look in your Bibles you will find them, in the same sense. The words are :^ " Oh ! but the counse' of the Lord Doth stand for ever sure, And of His heart the purposes From age to age endure." THE REV. WARDLAW THOMPSON was the next speaker. He said : — Mr. Chairman, my dear Friends, — I consider it a very great honour and jjrivilege to be permitted to take part in your Centenary meetings. You are the oldest member of the family of missions, and I am glad to feel that I represent the next brother in age. We are three years younger than you are, and we rejoice with all our hearts in the blessing of God upon you in completing so marvellously a centuiy of life and work, and I come to-night with a glad heart and full heart to express to you on behalf of those with whom I am closely associated in the Mission House, and in the churches, and in the field, our rejoicing, our thanks- giving to God on your behalf, and our prayer that God may make the young life of the new century greater from the beginning and greater throughout than the result of the century just closed. We rejoice not only because you have completed a hundred years of yoiu* life. The life of a centenarian may be rejoiced in, but it is a modified joy. A centenarian is a person who is to be tenderly cared for by loving friends, who watch over him with the expectation that before long the summons will come to take him to his rest and reward. We do not rejoice with you simply because you have passed your centui-y or simply because of the great and glorious work you have ah-eady done. We thank God for that long record from the beginning of consecration and honourable service in many fields, but we rejoice, especially, as we think of the conditions under which you are starting the new century. That is the cause of our thanksgiving, that is the joy of om- hope. Some ten years ago I had the privilege of visiting Serampore, and I went over all those interesting budd- ings consecrated to the memory of Carey and his companions. I saw the various indications of his great work when he was there and the memorials of it. I saw the library, the piinting press, the schools, the college, and I could not help feeling how remarkable it was that your Society, in its very beginning, manifested such far- sighted wisdom and breadth of plan. Carey developed schemes of work of a kind which are even now regarded by some of our friends as rather too advanced, and so in your beginnings you began with THE MEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON. 461 a great performance, with wide, bold, statesmanlike plans. You have worked through a centuiy of labour, suffering, and triumph for Christy and now at the end of the century you astonish us all by the vigour, the enthusiasm, the consecration, the heroism of your Congo Mission. Verily we may look out upon the future -with joyous hope as we think of this young, strong life, one hxmdred years old, and predict for you a far, far greater future than anything the past has seen. As I look at the new century, I want to know what is to come of it. I want, if possible, to say something to my friends who, like myself, have to do the work at home, as to how we are to make the new century what it ought to be. I cannot speak as my able friend. Dr. Swan- son, can speak, of long and honourable experience in the mission-field. But I think I have China on the brain so far as I have seen it. I went from India to China, and after being charmed with the Hindus I was particularly impressed by the strong character of the Chinese, of which Dr. Swanson has spoken. I cannot speak to you with the force, the eloquence, and the authority of years with which Dr. Jenkins, who represents our great Wesleyan Missions, can speak; but, as a home worker connected mth the mission-field, looking out into the new century, I feel this, that this work is going to make a tremendous demand upon us. We cannot put it too strongly. I thoroughly approve what Dr. Swanson said just now, that we are only just beginning the work. I have been now for some years engaged in my present position, and every year I am at it I am more and more possessed by the conviction that we are only just beginning this great work, and that we have got to look at it and deal with it after a fashion the Christian Church has never yet dreamed of. And so I want to ask. What are the conditions and requirements of the work which make it necessary for us to appeal to you for a fuller recognition, and for more adequate support ? I shall only touch upon three or four points which occur to my mind. The first point is that the work of missions at the beginning of this new century has developed into a system. We understand more intelligently its nature and its needs, and we apply om-sclves to the great enterprise with a new intelligence and with more economical application of our force. Experimenting in mission work is all past. A hundred years' experience has taught us pretty well what the world needs. It has been one great result of this initial century that we now know the real conditions of work ; we know the need, we know now better than we ever did before how to meet these needs; and, as the result of this knowledge, we have dis- covered that we shall require far more workers, and far more liberal support. It is now much more clearly recognised than it was in the past that the purpose of the missionary of Christ is not simply, or chiefly, to attack heathenism. It is not destructive work, it is not simply 462 TUB CENTENARY CELEBRATION. the abuse of other religious systems or an effort to show how weak they are. Ours is a work of construction. We are there to win men to Christ. We are there to show them that whatever they have got they still need Christ, and that without Christ all they have is nothing. We have got to win the citadel of the human heart. It is exactly the same work that has to be done by the various ministries of the Christian Church at home. No other. We find among the heathen a sinful human nature, and we have to present the Saviour to them. No other work; but yet with this difference, that the multitudes that we have to deal with outside Christendom are so vast, and the environment of their life, social, moral, and spiritual, makes their condition so unfavourable for reception of the truth. As we have discovered the real difficulties, we have also found out the best means of overcoming them, and the result is that our work is now taking many complex forms. Perhaps the Baptists are in a better position than the Independents in this matter, but there appears to be imongst us strange misconception concerning foi'eign missions. I %n\ continually trying to make some of our friends imderstand that mission work in foreign and heathen lands is not to be interpreted from what they know of the town missions at home. These town missions are doing good work, and we praise God for it; but that Avork is only a small portion of the work of the Church. Many of our friends seem to imagme that the missionary to the heathen is a man who goes and visits these poor, ignorant, out-of-the-way, degraded people, and that his mission is a similar one to that of the brethren in our gi-eat cities and towns who labour among the ignorant poor, and the result of that is that it naiTows down their conception of the mission work to a most deplorable extent, hampers them in their thought about it, and prevents them from helping it as they ought to help it. We have to grasp this, that our missionary societies include within themselves all the agencies which our churches are carrying on here. You have your church life, and your ministry, you have your colleges, your schools, your hospitals, missionaries, Bible-women, and a number of other Christian agencies. To each of these you give its own subscription, each of these makes its owti separate appeal to youi" sympathy, affection, and help. The Foreign Mission takes up every one of these under the one common name, and, unfortunately, because our friends think the Foreign Mission a covmter- part of the Town Mission, they give a subscription to it that they would give to the town missionary, and forget all the other agencies which they subscribe for at home. Let us begin to realise that what we call our foreign mission work is really the enterprise of the Church to win the great world to Christ. The first and foremost agency in the mission- field, in every missionary organisation, is simple evangelistic preaching. THE MEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON. 4fi3 Wo preach Christ crucified ; but, in addition to preachino;, we have to attack the ignorance of the people by schools of various kinds and by the pi-eparation and publication of literature ; wo have to impress them with the sympathy, and tendei'ness, and graciousness, and power of the Great Physician, by that mai'vellous medical mission work which is growing so rapidly all over the world and doing such splendid service in the progress of the Christian Church. Finally, we have to reach the heart of the heathen through the home of the heathen, and this development of the mission Avork will be one of the most influential, if not the most influential factor in bringing the great countries of the world to Christ. We have to make the homes Christian by bringing Christ to the women and making the mothers and daughters to know Him who is the life, and light, and joy of all human hearts. I cannot forget in this connection that the earliest recorded female mis- sionary was Mrs. Marshman. Long ago that brave, good lady devoted herself to the work among the women of Serampore. She was the first of that long and gracious succession of missionaries' wives who have in ovory country and in connection with every society been their husbands' tnie helpmeets in this splendid service. But we have now learned that the work missionaries' wives can do is but a limited work, and wo rejoice to think that we go out into the new century with a new and holy band of consecrated women specially set apart to this ser- vice—a groAvingly largo company, likely before long to be equal to the number of men in the field, quiet, but certainly doing a work equal to the work which any of the men are doing. Thus, as this Avork has developed, it has been seen that Ave Avant not simply the preaching missionary, but also the teaching missionary, the healing missionary, and the Zenana missionary, and Avhereas Ave appealed before for one Avorker, Ave appeal noAv for four or five, and Ave urge our friends at home to consider that more Avorkers to supply these various branches of work Avill be required at the beginning of this new century. Again, there are abundant evidences in every part of the mission- field, especially in those great fields of the East, that Ave may expect before long movements on a great scale toAvards Christianity. I once had the opportunity of seeing on the Avost coast of Scotland the blasting of rock on an immense scale. For Aveeks and months a handful of mmers had been boring in the hill-sido and laying trains of dynamite. At length their work Avas completed ; just as our steamer neared the spot the signal Avas given, there Avas a Ioav rumbling sound, and then the whole face of the hill moved sloAvly outward, and presently thousands of tons of stone came crashing doAvn upon the shore. The work of pre- paration Avas done by a few, the Avork of clearing and cutting the stone would occupy an armj' of men for months. The missionaries have been yom- representatives in the quariy, for long years they have toiled in 464 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. silence and have laid many a mine, now it seems as if the day of con- summation of their work were at hand. The mining has been going on, the silent work affecting the minds and hearts, consciences and sym- pathies, of the people has been going on for years and years, and now there is evidence that we are just on the eve of a great movement when hundreds and thousands of people may be expected to come and put themselves under Christian influence. That movement has already begun, has already marvellously begun in some parts, and in other parts it will become more active, more general in the coming years, and a very great and grave responsibility rests upon the churches in this land. What is going to happen when the great movement comes ? One trembles to think what may happen in some great missionary districts if thousands of untrained, ignorant people come and ask to be put under Christian instruction, and there is no one ready to instruct them. We need more workers in the field, many more than we ever had before to meet this solemn responsibility. Once more the work is becoming more difficult, and is making greater demands upon the missionaries in consequence of its difficult nature. The close and constant contact of the West with the lands of misgions is powerfully affecting the peoples among whom we labour. The political relations, the trade connections, the personal influence of the life and example of Europeans, do not tend to make our work easier ; on the con- trary, it is becoming more difficult day by day. You know what we have done to make the work of the missionary more difficult in connec- tion with the opium and diink traffic. If time permitted, I could illustrate from many parts of the field the difficulties arising in con- nection with this close and ever-growing contact of the West with the East. Slavish imitation of the West is the constant tendency among converts from heathenism. They have got their religion from us ; their impressions of what the Christian life ought to be have come from us ; their ideas of Church organisation are those which we have taught them. We are a strong people ; they are weak peoples. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and so they sometimes become bad imitators of the English Christians. This is a great danger, the danger of an imitated, artificial life. This difficulty makes it pressingly neces- sary that we should have in the mission-field more men — earnest, strong, intelligent men, broad in sympathy, wise in thought, keen, able to lead these Christians, at the same time to set them forth on theii' own lines. We want to see the development of indigenous Christianity in these heathen lands, a Christianity indigenous for the development on its own lines of Church organisation and Chris- tian thought, and for the development of Christian doctrine, and doing its own work of propaganda in its own way. I take that as the ultimate end of our work. We are there simply to give THE ilEETlNGS IN NORTHAMPTOJf. 465 the message of Chi'ist, to let the fulness and many-sidedness of Christ come out in the gloriousness and many-sidedness of the Christian life. There will be room, for years to come, in the mission-field for many who will go out as pioneer evangelists. But the evangelist will not be the only missionary or the most important worker of the new century. I confess that I am getting more and more stiff in my feeling that we need, if we are to do the Lord's work, to be able to teach others to help themselves. And if we are to do that, we must send first-rate men to do it. I believe that the need of the new century is for more workers in the field — -many more ; but I believe that side by side with that need is the need that those workers shall be our best, our picked men and women, not the untrained youthful enthusiasm, but the trained intellect, the developed thought, the earnest heart combined and consecrated in Christ's service. If we are to make great the Chi-istian life abroad those who go out to do it must be great Chi-istian men and women ; and that means on the part of the churches more thought about the missions, more recognition of the genius of the work, more recogni- tion of the variety of the work, more recognition of the responsibilities that rest upon us in doing the work of Jesus Christ in a fashion worthy of Him in whose name it is being done ; it means larger demands upon the Church for men and money than the Church has ever yet dreamed of. You have just given splendid evidence of your re- cognition of the need in your special Centenary Fund. But I ventiu-e to say — and I am sure you will agi-ee in this — let not any one of those who have contributed to this Fund take to themselves the comforting thought that the Society is now provided for. You have just given the Society enough to make a good start for more work ; and the Society, if it is blessed of God in the work, and is able to do that work rightly, will come to you soon for far larger contributions than ever before, and will requii'e far larger consecration of men and women. Oh, Su", I long for the day when we shall not only have the best, the choicest of owe sons offering themselves eagerly for this service ; and the girls who are the lights and pride of home offering themselves ; but when from every family the fathers and mothers shall feel it to be the joy and pride of theu- life to give the best of their sons and theii' daughters. We have got to do that if the work is to be done. At present we have, too often, to beg and plead and strive with those imwilling that their sons and daughters should go out to the work. What prospect is there that such a response to our appeals will be forth- coming in this century P I thank God that I can see signs of hope in this that within the last few years there has been a new awakening to a sense of the responsibility in regard to the population at home. I thank God that the attention of earnest men and women is being more and more directed to the multitude who are outside the Church in our great cities and in our 30 466 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. rural population who need the simple Gospel. Some of our friends ate inclined to think that if we gave oui'selves up to this part of chui-ch work we should not be able to keep our Forward Movement in Foreign Missions going. Sii-, I look at it in an altogether difiPerent light. If the Forward Movement in Foreign Missions is simply produced by pressuie, and the appeals of a few earnest men on the half- slumbrous Chtu-ch, it will never be a permanent movement. I look at the last century : I see that the precursor of a great awakening for foreign missionary enter- prise and work was the deepened sense of responsibility for those at home. From the awakening in the Northamptonshii-e Association, and various other country associations of Baptist and Independent churches with regard to the spiritual need of the neglected people around them- selves, came the movement for foreign missions. For several years before ever a missionary society was formed, we read in the records of that time that earnest men were looking around them ; and as soon as they got awakened to a sense of their responsibility to their neighbours, they looked beyond their own parish, and saw the need of the outside world. What we need is the awakening of the Chnrch at home, deeply impressed by a sense of this responsibility to Christ and with a new love to Him to whom it owes all it has of blessing, burning with a desu-e to bring its neighbours near to Him. The more and more that spirit is felt among the churches, the more and more the Christian faith will find there is no boundary between country and country, but that all the world is one in Chi-ist, and that the mission of the Chui'ch is to bring all people to know Him. I look thankfully to the movement of the churches, the spiritual movement of the chm'ches, the sense of the need of a new baptism of the S pirit, a yearning amongst many of us for a new and deeper spiritual life, to bring the neglected and ignorant around us into the fold of Christ. I look to that, and I praise God with all my heart for it, because I see in it a most certain token that Christ is moving His people, that He is preparing His people for the larger service in His name, and that, in due time, Christ will lead His people forth a larger band, a nobler band, a better-fitted band, to go forth into the field as reapers, and gather in the great hai-vest which is waiting to be garnered for Him. At this period of the meeting, THE EEV. J. T. BROWN, the pastor of the College Street Chapel, asked permission to refer to certain local missionary particulars. I think, said Mr. Brown, it might be well if I just read the following' list of names of missionaries connected with our county. Many of our friends here, perhaps, are not acquainted Avith the facts that that list THE MEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON. 467 of names vnll reveal. May I say, Mr. Chairman, not to inteipose too long, how veiy glad I am to see you here ? I have oftentimes seen you in a place you know very well, and I am very glad to sec you in a church and in a place that I know very well. I am sure our friends esteem it a favom- that you have come down to take the chair on the present occasion. I know your great love for the Mission, and that has brought you here. It is quite true that Northampton had a great honour in this matter, and an honour which none can deprive us of. You may go far beyond us in other things, but in this we are first, and no other can be first. I may say that in the original thirteen that met at Kettering, nine, or perhaps ten of them, were Northamjptonshire men, and connected with oiu- Association. Since that time we have been sending a consider- able number to the different mission-fields. I shall not occupy the time by comments, but I do want our friends just to know these things. Some of oui' Northamptonshire folks seem proud of their county on many grounds. We think we have grand, capital people here, and peoijle that benefit the wide world. Taking the East, since the starting of the Mission the following have gone out there from this comity. Wo begin, of course, with Dr. Carey, from Hackleton, and then there were John Chamberlain, of Welton ; William Robinson, of Olney ; Eustace Carey, of Paulerspury ; John Chater, of Middleton Cheney ; John Lawrence, of Woodford ; William Jarrom, of Northamj^ton ; F. A. Laughton, of Northampton ; and Edward Nickalls, of Clipstone. And I think I may add another name, James Allen, who was one of our honoured missionarie? at Ceylon. He was born at Kimbolton, but he was brought up at Bugbrooke, where they raise very fine specimens of humanity. Then in addition to these names I am very glad to think that we have contributed from Northampton to the new department of work two lady missionaries — one who has now gone to serve her Master in another world, and her sister, who is labom-ing at the present in the far East. I refer to the Misses Black- well. A lady sits before mc— perhaps I should not mention the name — who has already given two daughters to the mission-field, one who is the wife of Mr. Nickalls in China, and the other is the wife of Mr. Potter in India. And, in addition, wo have Miss Barrass, of Peterborough, Avho has gone to Zenana v.'ork in India. That is our contribution in men and women to the East. And nov/ for the West :— Thomas Knibb, and William Knibb, of Kettering ; Francis Gardner, of Burton Latimer; James Flood, of Northampton; John Clarke, and C. Armstrong, of Thrapston ; Henry Capem, of Long Buckby ; William Bontems, of Noi-thampton ; W. K. Rycroft, of Rushden ; W. H. Butcher, •of Peterborough ; and W. F. Cottingham, of Ringstead. And, in addi- tion to these, Mr. Pratt, one of the boys of this chapel, is now preaching «s pastor at Queen Street, in Jamaica; and on the way to Jamaica now 4d8 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATJON. is Mr. James, only a montli or six weeks ago the pastor at Thrapstoni These are our contributions to the mission-field in the West. The first secretary to the Mission was Andrew Fuller, and then Dr. Eyland, who was minister of this place, was secretary. The fir-st treasirrer, Reynold Hogg, was a Northamptonshire man, and the last treasurer, the man I am looking at now, I am proud to say is also a Northamptonshire man* Mr. Baynes, our secretary, made a mistake, or else he would have been bom in Northamptonshire. I might also remind you that my relative, Mr. Myers, before he went to the Mission House, was the secretary of our Association, and was the pastor of Fuller Chapel, Kettering. I am very glad to find that according to our means our interest has been con- tinued up to this day. There is an inspiration that some of us sometimes feel as belonging to Northampton on account of the origin of the Mission and on account of the men to whom I have referred, but " Not unto us, not unto us, but unto Thy name, be the glory." The last public speech in England by William Knibb — there was a little address before he set sail — but the last public address was delivered, not in this chapel, but on this spot. I persuaded him to come down and visit his own native county, and he did come. And at the close of his speech — -it was an enthusiastic mcetmg as you would know — someone moved a resolution thanking him. And in his own manly way — for he was manly, every inch of him, and he was not affectedly modest, he was just genuine — Knibb got up, and in his own way he said, "Mr. Chairman, I am com- pelled to admit that I have been able to do something," and he went on just in that manly strain, not boastful, but just simply sincere, and then, having said a little of that kind, he added— and I can hear him now, and see his own expressive gesture, and his outstretched hand— he added, turning to the chairman, " Mr. Chairman, what, after all, is that which I have done ? " ' A guilty, weak, and helpless worm. On Thy kind arms I fall ; Be Thou my strength and righteousness, My Jesus and my all ! ' " It was a pious incident, and it had a dramatic effect which you cannot now understand, but which I felt at the time and often feel still. THE EEV. E. E. JENKINS, LL.D., Hon. Secretary Wesleyan Missionary Society, was next called upon to speak. He said :— This is for you a very high day. If you will permit me to coitie near to you, and to lose for a brief space the distinction of belonging to another Missionaiy Society, it is for me also a high day. It is true that 1 am here to present the congratulations of the Wesleyan THE MEETINGS IN NORTHA-MPTON. 469 Methodist Church ; but even this I can do more emphatically by striving to forget it, by assuming that I am for the time a Baptist, that I have a share in the glory of your Centennial celebration. And have I not ? I am an old Indian missionary. When Carey took possession of India, it was not a party conquest ; there was no fight among the churches for superiority of position, or for the maintenance of a particular dogma. Carey's warrant was the Masteris command : Go and preach the Gospel to the nations of the East. In the seed of Carey's mission, in which dwelt the future hai-vest, every church went to the East with him ; ho represented us all. He was not conscious of this immense breadth of design, as the old prophets were not cognisant of the ever- spreading range of their predictions ; but it is a curious and most striking fact that Carey and his colleagues acted as if they had been conscious of it ; they planned their work as if the enterprise of converting the entire East had been entrusted to them by the united voice of Christendom. This is the more extraordinary because the difficulties that harassed the first steps of their Mission shut them up within a narrow and foreign State, and threatened every idea of expansion. Serampore was the limit of their residence, but India and China lay stretched before the eye of their faith ; and, with the coolness and deliberation of conquered success, they pro- ceeded to map out nations and empires for Christ. I confess that nothing in the history of God's woi'k amongst men has impressed me with so much vividness and weight as the vastness of the plan of the Reramporo missionai'ies, and the sublime fortitude of the men in attempting to cany out, and successfully carrying out, what their genius had sketched and projected. Carey was embodying in action the divisions of the sermon he had preached in Nottingham : Attempt great things for God ; expect great things from God. It might bf; supposed that the province of Bengal Avas wide enough for these intrepid scholars and evangelists, especially as they stood alone amid the dense populations of that disti-ict ; but by theu' translations, their Christian schools, their influence upon Eastern scholarship, and theu- native converts, they touched the reiuotest divisions of Asia, anticipating Judson in Burma, Martin in Persia, Gogerly in Ceylon, and Monison in China. But not only do I wonder as I survey the extent of their field ; I am equally inipressed by the breadth of their policy. The missionaries who followed them entered into their labours and improved upon their plans. There was an ever-increasing volume of mind and experience, reflecting infinite variety of talent, of belief, of condition ; that which Avas worth- less was kicked out of the way, that which was sterling received an increased value from favouring cii'cumstances that in the course of time cheered the hard path of the missionaries, such as a more righteous administration of India itself, and an increase of missionaries and of means ivom JJngland. from Gei-juany, and from America, Yet the years 470 THE CEXTENAr.Y CELEBRATION. that followed them, with all this accumulation of power, hardly pro- duced one department of missionary labom* which the Serampore men had not initiated or foreshadowed in their policy. It is a remarkable instance of the prescience of Carey that when Duff had laid his plans, in which there was an emphatic departure from the j)revailing methods of the Bengal missionaries, and, indeed, of all the evangelists then in India, not one of them encouraged his jiew scheme of attacking learned Hinduism by learned Christianity, except Carey, who was the founder of the best college then flourishing in India, and who for fifty years had set the example of dii-ect vernacular preaching. The meeting in Serampore of these two missionary lights, one in the fading splendours of the West, the other in the early radiance of a now day, was an event in which day uttered its speech unto day ; and while the days pass the speech remaineth, enriching itself by the knowledge gathered in the successive revolutions of time. It is true that Carey and his contem- poraries were denied the privilege of sharing the successes of Zenana missions ; but it is no less true that that education of the Hindu mind which has resulted in the freedom and intellectual elevation of the Hindu woman was commenced by Carey. It must be so in a vast country like India, with one Government and many nations, that missionary work will open out before the liberating forces of Gospel truth and national sentiment. The new aspects of Chi'istian sei"vice for which the modem Indian field is remarkable are not the immediate suggestions of particular men ; they unfold themselves in the inevitable progress of events; that which can be attempted to-day was not possible, was not thought of, ten years ago. I will therefore repeat what in substance I have ah-eady said, that looking now over Missionary India, the provinces occupied by various Protestant societies, the literatui-e diffused through the vernaculars of the people, the schools flourishing in city and village, including Government schools — for these originated in the Christian convictions of the rulers of India — the hospitals and minor forms of medical ministry that embody the healing sympathies of Christ, the gi-eat army of native ministers and the churches of which they are pastors, and above all other agencies, through them all and in them all, the incorruptible Word of God, travelling all over India in fifty languages in the greatness of its strength — I say, looking at Missionary India as it now is, it is no poetical exaggeration, but an historical duty to affirm that the main foundations — for I am not forgetting Schwartz — of this enormous structure of work were laid by the man who, one hundred years ago this day, was set apart in the Baptist meeting in Leicester for the work to which the Holy Spirit had called him. When I think of the other members of the Sei-ampore Triumvu-ate, I am impressed by the wisdom of the same Spirit, in bringing together men whose gifts and training made them the complement of each other. THE MEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON. 471 Every iiiitial difficulty that confronted the undertaking, and some of these obstructions were enormous, found a master in one or other of the three men. The personnel of the Serampore Mission, as well as their consecration, is an historic copy of the Antioch messengers, Barnabas and Saul, in whom were blended invincible energy, tempering wisdom, and equal zeal. We cannot complete this description of the providence that in so signal a manner guided the commencement of your first enterprise by giving you the right men to descend the unkno\vn mine of Asiatic heathenism, without glancing at those brave comrades who held the ropes that let the explorers down. It is not enough to say that they were men of extraordinary character. They were giants. Andrew Fuller rises up before us as a leader of commanding stature. Eminent first as an author, he won imperishable fame as a missionary foimder : masterly in administration, wise in counsel, convincing and indefatigable in advocacy, he was a secretary upon whose strength the lonely missionaries could lean. John llyland, who gave to the Calcutta Mission in days when even Christian men were opposed to the conversion of the heathen, the sanction of his piety, and the ardour of his prayers. Eobert Hall, whom all churches claim as belonging to themselves, one of the first among the Christian apolo- gists of this centm-y, and as a preacher standing below none of any century. That these men, and others like them, whose names open a spring of holy and stimulating memories, were raised up in England to guide and sustain your Indian Mission in the infancy of its life, is a conclusive proof that the Head of the Church conferred upon the Baptist Denomination the honour of leadership in the sublime expedition of con- quering the East for Christ. " Hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy cro-wn." It is my fei-vent prayer that the appeal of this Centenary celebration, coming as it does from the Baptist fathers, whoso laboiirs are youi- inheritance, from the heroic men and women who counted not their life dear unto themselves, and lost it, and found it, in India, in China, in the recent but glorious field of the Congo, from the missionaries now on the ground, in the thick of the struggle, from every native church, that this appeal, addressed to the entire Baptist Com- munity of these kingdoms, may be answered by the consecration of your best gifts, the wealth of youi- merchants, the equally precious offerings of your poor, the talents of your youth, and the personal service of every family of your commmiion, such a consecration as shall bo worthy the inauguration of the new century. If I have dwelt exclusivi'ly upon the history of your Indian work, it is not because I have not watched the operations of your Society in other coimtries, but because this day is specially dedicated to the memory of Carey, and because niy claim to any share in the joy of your celebration is a life-long connection with India. I shall be forgiven, therefore, the dotage of years if I regard India 472 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. as the great missionary field of the world. Its political importance should make it the study of every Englishman ; and the relation of Christianity to that political importance is a fact not less profound in its significance because it has not been generally recognised. Public men in this country, who ought to be the first to perceive it, have hardly a glimpse of it as yet. The Hindus themselves, those, I mean, who have been brought into union with English and Western thought, and have learned to read the recent history of their country, are beginning slowly to wake up to the truth that the forces of English rule in India are no longer soldiers, cannon, and ships of war, but the justice, the equity, the sympathy, in one word, the righteousness of a Christian Government ; and this conviction of theirs is not afifected by any violation of these virtues on the part of a particular Administration. The Hindus know well enough that Administrations pass away and Christian England remains, and that India is so closely in touch with this country that any evil affecting our Eastern fellow-subjects, whether it spring from the Government or from the people, is in process of extinction, cannot remain. The Hindus are too keen-witted not to know that Christianity lies at the basis of English j)ower, and this knowledge is largely the result of missionary labour. The missionaries have been the founders of schools, the creators of a new literature, the leaders, without being political partisans, of political liberty, the patterns of the highest standard of personal virtue. Their work has been disparaged, their character is even now being maligned by those who know nothing about them. I will not insult them by defending them. Let those accuse them who have seen their work, who have lived with them ; let those astute observers of character who watch for a flaw in their conduct, the Hindus and Mohammedans among whom they labour, let these be their judges. But they have another witness in the record which is on high. To say they have sometimes committed eiTor is to utter the commonplace of humanity. But taking them as a whole, a nobler band of men than your Indian missionaries, to whatever society they belong, men more incapable of the motives ascribed to them by then- enemies in England, never in any age of the Church adorned the ranks of the missionary host. Carey and Marshman, Duff and Wilson, Anderson and Judson, did not escape reproach, and the present race of labourers are not better than their fathers ; but reproach or not, the men AviU go on : not depressed by evil repoi-t, not elated by good report, they will go on towards the mark of their high calling and attain that mark, the conquest of the East for Christ. THE REV. J. BAILEY, B.A., of Sheffield, was the last speaker. He remarked : — The only reason for my pi-esence upon this platform to-night is that last THE MEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON. 473 year I accompanied Mr. Greenhough as the deputation from our Society to the West Indies. I shall therefore confine my remarks to that portion of the g^'eat missionary field, and to the work in which oiu" missionaries are engaged there. There is one feature which distinguishes the West Indies from every other field in which we are employed ; that is, the mixture of races to be found in all populous parts of the field. English, Scotch, Negroes, Coolies, Chinese, Europeans of nearly all nationalities are to be found there. In common talk they are divided into whites and blacks, though these have to include every shade of colour between. The whites, wherever they are found, have the wealth and influence, as you will easily understand, and therefore they are far more impor- tant than then- mere numerical strength would imply. Now it should never be forgotten our Mission in the West Indies has always been, speaking generally, a mission to the blacks, and it has been carried on very largely by native agency. This has been the highest glory of our work here from the first. We have sent the Gospel to those who were in the sorest need, to those who Avere absolvitely neglected and downtrodden, and where, for the most part, there was nothing for us to gain but the heavenly reward of doing Christ's work in Christ's own way, by "preaching good tidings to the poor, proclaiming release to the captives, setting at liberty them that are bruised, . . . and proclaiming the acceptable year of the Lord." Moses Baker, an old mulatto man, who laid the earliest foundation of our work in Jamaica, was engaged by a Christian planter in the year 1794 to labour among his slaves, in the district where our strongest churches are to-day. The work grew so rapidly under his hand that he appealed to our Society in London to enter upon the field. Our first missionary was sent out in 1813, in answer to this request ; and when Mr. Coultart, one of our earliest missionaries, visited old Moses Baker in 1821, he found a congregation of nearly 600 gathered together for Divine service. All these were black people, with the exception of the owner of the estate and his family and a few others employed by him. Throughout the stirring times that followed, up to the emancipation of the slaves, and for years after, our mis- sionaries found that to espouse the cause of the blacks was to incur the hatred and opposition of the whites ; and, to their immortal honour be it said, throughout that agonising struggle they were always found on the side of the oppressed against the oppressor, the weak against the strong, the slave against the planter ! Looking back now we can see how graciously God o"\vned and honoured their devotion. To their endeavours and advocacy more than anything else imder heaven are to be attributed the abolition of slavery throughout these islands; the elevation of the negroes into a self-respecting and independent peasantiy by the settlement of many of their families in 474 THE CBNTENABY CELEBRA.TION. houses and lands which they were enabled to make their own, after they had been cruelly evicted by the landowners from the estates on which formerly they had lived and laboured ; the foundation of schools in every district ; and the inculcation of habits of industry and thrift. AH this they secured in addition to the preaching of the Gospel to every creature. And, just as the writer of the Apocalypse saw the names of the apostles written on the foundations of the heavenly Jerusalem — so I believe, could we look to-day with the insight of a seer into the present condition and future prospects of the people of Jamaica, we should see inscribed upon the foundations of all then- material and religious prosperity such names as Burchell, Knibb, Dendy, and Phillippo ! What is true of Jamaica is equally true of our Mission in the Bahamas and Turks Islands. We landed on some small out-of-the-way places where there are no white people to be found, where the soil is miserably sparse, and the lot of the inhabitants seemed as hard and bare as the rocks that cropped up everywhere. Nobody calls there but an occasional native from a neighbouring island for such little trade or barter as is possible. Nobody has ever gone there to benefit the people but our missionary and those he has sent. Yet as soon as you step on shore you begin to feel the effects of their work. The very fact of white men landing raises a presumption in the minds of the people that someone has come from the Missionary Society. The first men you meet will probably be the leaders of the little Church. Everybody can tell where the chapel is to be found, for it is the centre of general interest, and you soon see that nearly everyone in the settlement is ready and eager to gather there to listen to all you have to say. They know nothing of what is going on in the broad busy world beyond the sea, but they do know that Christ has come to be then- Saviour, and that the Baptist Missionary Society has sent them the truest, dearest friends they have ever had ; that the Gosi^el of the grace of God cheers their lot now, and lights up their future with immortal hope. There is absolutely nothing but the Gospel to help and elevate and gladden them, and the honour and joy of having given them that Gospel belongs to our Society. Fm-ther, our work among these natives has been marvellously successful. Of this you have some proof in the figures of the report of our Society showing the number of converts gathered into our churches. We were privileged to have a far higher, an altogether incontestable kind of proof when we went among these converts — when we came into sympathetic touch with their simple piety, their fervent worship, and their self-denying devotion. For though they have little or no money to give, they have large hearts and willing hands for helping on in ways within their power what stands for them as the cause of Christ in their own immediate neighbourhood. The superiority of their chapels everywhere sui-prised us. They reminded THE MEETINGS IN NORTHAMPTON. 475 me of tho old cathedrals, which were built m the Middle Ages among the houses of tho common people. For though they do not afford so splendid a contrast, they do present a real contrast in strength and stjibility and convenience — indeed, in every quality which the people there admire and can secure, when compared with many of their own poor and patched-up dwellings. And the explanation of this superiority is simply that they build their places of worship by tho co-operation of the whole congregation, and make it a labour of ambition and love. Men, women, and children are all enlisted while the work is in progress. They devote commonly the Monday to it. Everyone is ready to do anything to help on the particular task in hand. Their ambition is to have the best building they can raise for the worship and service of their Lord. In all respects, however, in building and piety and zeal the most substantial residts have been achieved in Jamaica, where our Mission from the first has been most worthily sustained and most efficiently manned. To say nothing of the triumphs won by others, Ave have reaped there a harvest beyond anything which can be shown by our denomination elsewhere. Within a population not quite equal to that of Sheffield and Leeds put together there are' to-day nearly 3.5,000 members gathered into over 170 Baptist churches; and these churches are so instinct with spu-itual life that the last report returns, in addition, 5,500 inquirers ; and as inquirers in Jamaica are systematically kept waiting some months before admission, these represent the regular stream of young life continually flowing into the membership. For about fifty years they have borne all their own charges, and foi- thu-ty-eight years they have had their own missionary society, for Avhich they raised during last year £3,000. They have rendered generous help to the College at Kingston for the training of native pastors and normal school teachers, Avhich is now the only regidar charge upon our Society's funds; and I think it may be truthfully said of the whole island, certainly it may be of the country districts where most of our time was spent, the whole population is evangelised, religion has a firmer hold of daily life than here at home. Far more of the people in propor- tion attend divine soi-vice, and revere the Sabbath, and honour in their simple but earnest way^all that belongs to vital godliness, than in our land. The whole country, in short, appears more Christian than England. Perhaps the most beautiful feature of their religious life is their unabated interest in the African Mission. This was their earliest love, and though the way has never yet been opened for the fulfilment of their heart's desire, they cherish still a deep longing to help on that work. At Stewart ToAvn we learnt that three members of the Church have already given themselves to work on the Congo through an American society— one of these a young man who had jjreviously qualified as a medical man in an American university. The only word of complaint we heard all the Avhile Ave Avere 476 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. in Jamaica was that the door had not been opened for more volunteers from their midst to enter on this field through our Mission. I am glad to say that there are two young men from Jamaica now working for us on the Congo. Personally, I believe the difficulties in the way have fully justified ovir Committee in their action in this matter. But I rejoice to bear here my testimony, to the honour of these Jamaica Baptists, that if the door can be thrown open they are ready and eager to devote the noblest of their children to this work. And this yearning of African Christians in Jamaica for the regeneration of their fellow-countrymen in the Dark Continent is certainly one of the "signs of the times" at the close of the first century of missions ; and may prove under God a very preg- nant fact in the second century to which we are now advancing. Of course these native Christians have their defects. They would not be human if they had not. But I might apply to them the remark the Indian missionary Schwartz once made to a critic who foimd fault with his converts. " There is a good beginning in all. If others say there is nothing perfect, I say look into your own hearts." It may seem to conflict with what I have said when you find in the Birth Statistics of Jamaica that the proportion of illegitimacy is still tremendously high as it seems to us. But remember in the old slavery days no such thing as man-iage among the blacks was recognised by law ; and it is even said if a white man employed on an estate got married he was almost sure to lose his situation. All the Christian morality you find there to-day is the du-ect fruit of the Gospel, and has been raised during the period covered by our Mission. Therefore, we have rather to rejoice over what has been accomplished already than to bemoan the laxity which still remains. Then it must be admitted most of them are decidedly slovenly in their dress and are not thrifty in their habits. But, remember, less than two generations ago they were treated as mere chattels, and might be subjected to the indignity of having their master's initials branded on their bodies like cattle, a brutal outrage which in some cases was repeated as often as they were bought and sold. Habits of self-respect and personal nicety and delicacy are not built up in a people in a day. But they are making rapid progress in these respects, and if you were to see a Sunday congregation in any of our chapels now you would be far from disposed to find fault with either the personal appearance or the demeanour of the worshippers. Then they are accused of being lazy ; and it is alleged the main industry of Jamaica has been ruined because they will not work. It was, perhaps, natural that there should be a reaction in this du-ection in the days imme- diately following emancipation. William Knibb once asked a servant boy what he would do if he got his liberty. The boy made answer in the curious Creole tongue, " Hi, minister, sleep one whole a mont and kick up 'im two foot." We can sympathise with that vision of bliss in such a case. But tHE Meetings in NORTHAMPToif* 477 5n inquiry we found where a planter could not get labourers, it was because he had won for himself a bad reputation. The masters to-day who treat their labourers well and pay a fair wage promptly and in full, have no difficulty in getting men. And I venture to think it may not be amiss if all others have to go short untU they leam to mend their ways. There is certainly much of the old African degradation of women remaining. This was perhaps the most grievous thing we saw. But it is passing away before the light of Divine truth. We stayed in the house of one of our native pastors, and his treatment of his wife and children was as considerate and tender as we could have seen ia a refined English home. Perhaps one of the most hopeful signs among them is the keenness with which they watch all that is done in this countiy, and the readiness mth which they copy, under the leadership of godly men connected with the missionary societies, everything that strikes them as worthy, and noble, and beautiful in our example. Last sjjrhig, within a few months of the establishment of free education in this land, an Act passed the Legislature of Jamaica abolishing fees iu the pubHc schools there, and thus sweeping away the chief hindrance to the cause of elementary education. And for the futui-e free primary schools, vigorous churches, well-filled chapels, a band of devoted English pastors who worthily sustain the traditions of the missionary heroes who have gone before, and a rapidly increasing native ministry trained in our own College, seem to promise for our denomina- tion greater prosperity than has even been realised in the past. Looking back over the eighty years during which we have worked in Jamaica, we can see the whole population has been redeemed from the lowest de- gi'adation and misery, and raised to appreciate and enjoy the benefits of education and religion. A native Church has been estabhshed and trained for the seiwice of the Gospel at home, Avhich has stood the test of fierce persecution in the old slavery days, and had its faithful martyrs, who were none the less beautiful in the sight of heaven because they had a black skin, and filled only the lowly lot of despised slaves here on earth ; and that Church is now heaiing the Divine call to "Arise and shine " in the gloi-y of the Lord by missionary labours in regions beyond. With pro- found thankfulness for the large part we have been permitted to take by Divine grace in this marvellous change, I may give voice to the testimony of om- West Indian Mission at the close of oui- Centenary celebrations in the words of prophet and psalmist : " What hath God wrought ? " " This is the day which the Lord hath made ; we will rejoice and be glad in it." 478 THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S MEETING. On the evening of the following day a meeting was held in College Street Chapel especially for the young. Mr. Joseph B. Mead, of London, occupied the chair ; and addresses were given by the Revs. Thomas Bailey, of Orissa, India ; W. ITolman Bentley, of Central Africa (who announced that on the previous day he had completed his translation of the New Testament into the Congo language) ; Frank Harmon, of Shantung, North China ; and John Brown Myers, Association Secretary of the Society ; thus bringing to a close the series of meetings reported in this volume. May this permanent record of the Centenary Proceedings, through' the readers' prayers, be used of God in helpiug to bring forth that' larger fruitfulness which the Church of Christ, entering upon the second centuiy of missions, hopefully anticipates; and to the Saviour's great name shall all the glory be ascribed !'
