Work to be Done!

READER, These were God’s words to Joshua, sometime after he had led Israel into the land of Canaan. I know none more applicable to the subject I want to bring before you this day.—That subject is “Missions to the Heathen, and the Church Missionary Society.” When Joshua spoke these words, something had been done by Israel, but much was left un-done.—Some tribes had received their inheritance;—the greater part were yet without it. Some land was possessed, but much still remained to be possessed.—They had everything to en¬courage them. The Lord of hosts had done great things for them, and was with them still. Thirty and one kings had fallen before them in battle. And yet they seemed to hesitate and draw back. Reader, this is just the position of the Church Mission¬ary Society, which I desire to set before you this day.
