ÉVANGÉLISTE ET ORATEUR ÉCOSSAIS
Nature does not go forth in search of Christianity;but Christianity goes forth to knock at the door of nature and, if possible, awaken her out of her sluggishness. . . . And seeing, that the disinclination of the human heart to entertain the overtures of the gospel, forms a mightier obstacle to its reception among men than all the oceans and continents which missionaries have to traverse, there ought to be a series of aggressive measures in behalf of Christianity, carried on from one age to another, in every clime and country of Christendom.
