“As our blessed Lord has required us to pray that His will be done on earth as it is in heaven, it becomes us not only to express our desires of that event by words, but to use every lawful   method to spread the knowledge of His name. In order to do this, it is necessary that we should become, in some measure acquainted with the religious state of the world; and as this is an object we should be prompted to pursue not only by the gospel of our Redeemer, but even by the feelings of humanity, so an inclination to conscientious activity therein would form one of the strongest proofs that we are the subjects of grace, and partakers of that spirit of universal benevolence and genuine philanthropy, which appear so eminent in the character of God Himself.”
