Description
Excerpt from Serampore Letters: Being the Unpublished Correspondence of William Carey and Others With John Williams, 1800-1816
Missionary Union. We have thus the evidence of a share in the origin of the Missionary Union on the part of the New York brethren fully as large as that rightly claimed by those in Boston. But after all, perhaps the chief interest of the letters to the general reader will be found in the vivid portraiture which they bring before us of the man to whom, under God, the work of mod ern missions is most largely indebted, as his character is presented unconsciously to himself in the thoughts and feelings to which he gives expression in these letters to a friend whom he had never seen, but whom he knew to to be like-minded in faith and purpose. From the example which they afford Of wide, unselfish interest, and a firm, unshaken faith and determination, we may well glean lessons of the highest value to our selves, as well as a juster appreciation of the narrow resources and deep draughts on faith out of which this great work has grown.
