Page 115 - Scripture. The object of God in sending the Gospel to the Gentiles is "to take out of them a people for his name." The great part in every nation will reject it and remain in the folly of idolatry or the human wisdom of rationalism. I see far more reason to expect Deism to reign in England than the Gospel to reign in India. Ever since man took his own wisdom instead of God's, God has placed the only hope of the world in a plan which to the natural mind is "foolishness.

Page 41 - I purpose this evening to trace the gradual and steady progress of this grand movement, and its influence on the character and destinies of the European and Asiatic nations. It will be seen how the Church of Christ grew and expanded from small beginnings ; how, but a small rivulet at first, it increased...

Page 41 - I cherish the profoundest reverence for the character of Jesus, and the lofty ideal of moral truth which he taught and lived ; and it is to impress his moral excellence on my countrymen, as well as the European community in India, — unbiassed by sectarian bigotry or the spirit of theological wrangling, — that I appear before you this evening.
Page 41 - Thus the world presented almost one unbroken scene of midnight darkness on all sides. A light was needed. Humanity was groaning under a deadly malady and was on the verge of death ; a remedy was urgently needed to save it. Jesus Christ was thus a necessity of the age : he appeared in the fulness of time.
