Overview

Excerpt from Under His Banner: Papers on the Missionary Work of Modern Times The same school of writers have pourtrayed the early missionaries tramping through Europe in palmer's garb or monkish habit, and crossing stormy seas in impossible vessels, and the contrast between such travels and the journeys of modern bishops and missionaries, who, in civil ised clothing and with all appliances to alleviate severities of climate, travel by express trains and magnificent steamers, is, no doubt, a violent one; but, as 'i think, not more violent than would be the contrast drawn by a competent hand be tween the degrees of civilisation possessed by the two epochs at which they severally lived. What I specially desire to contend for is, that the spirit which we admire in the elder is still present in the younger generation the Church, as well as the world, does not always know its greatest men.
