Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Propagation of Christianity, Vol. 2 of 3: Among the Heathen, Since the Reformation In October 1792, a few Baptist ministers, assembled at Kettering in Northamptonshire, united in instituting a Society for Propagating the Gospel among the Heathen. They, at the same time, opened a subscription for this purpose; but the whole sum contributed on that occasion amounted only to 13:2:6. As soon, however, as the object of the Society was known, they met with further encouragement and support, not only from the members of their own communion, but from Christians of other denominations. About the same time, Mr John Thomas, who had of late years made some attempts for propagating the gospel in Bengal, was in London, endeavouring to establish a fund for sending missionaries to that country, and was himself anxious to obtain a suitable companion to return with him. He had previously made two voyages to Bengal as surgeon of the Oxford East Indiaman; and when there the second time, he met with a few pious people who agreed to have a prayer-meeting together, and this led on to his preaching to them every Sabbath evening.
