Excerpt from A Historical Sketch or Compendious View of Domestic and Foreign Missions in the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America: Prepared at the Request of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian ChurchTee propagation of the Gospel in North America possessed, essentially, the character of a Mission ary enterprise. Its propagators when they ¿ed from persecution in the land of their fathers, had it in View, not only to be able to worship God according to the dictates of their consciences, free from moles tation, but to transmit the gospel in its purity to their descendants, and to other emigrants, in all suc seeding generations and they also hoped to impart its blessings to the Pagan tribes, who inhabited the wilderness in which they sought an abode. As in troductory, therefore, to a brief History of the Foreign Missionary Operations of the Presbyterian church in the United States, it is' proposed to take a rapid survey of the Missions of this Church among the descendants of Europeans, and to follow it by a narrative, more in detail, of missionary Operations.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
