Excerpt from The Gospel in Gonda: Being a Narrative of Events in Connection With the Preaching of the Gospel in the Trans-Ghaghra Country The preaching of the Gospel among heathen peoples is at once the most difficult and the most important work to which man can be called, the grandest and most blessed calling to which he can devote himself. The best method of preaching to the heathen, - of presenting the truth in such manner as to attract and not repel, to win the hearer, and make him desirous of hearing again and yet again, - this is the great work of the Christian Missionary, from whatever side he may approach it, whether as an itinerant evangelist, or minister or pastor of a congregation, a teacher in elementary schools, or a professor in a Christian college or university, whether superintending missionary operations, or with pen and press he prepares a pure literature for the people, whether he ministers to the physical wants of those about him, healing the sick and relieving the poor, or perhaps better than all, or in addition to all, lives a life so pure, so good, that the heathen seeing, is won to Christ. This is his work, though not always satisfactorily or even well done, - whether he sees little result of his labors, or finds his efforts crowned with glorious success, - it is indeed a work that altogether "Might fill an angel's heart, And filled a Saviour's hands." Preaching, in its best sense is an institution, the origin of which is synchronous with the introduction of Christianity.
