Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Character of Adoniram Judson, Late Missionary to Burmah: A Commemorative Discourse Delivered Before the American Baptist Missionary Union, in Boston, May 15, 1851 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep. Fathers and Brethren of the Missionary Union: The year that has passed since we were last assembled has been marked by two events, to each of which belongs the dignity of an historical era. One of these events is the completion of the half century. While now, as from a "mount of vision," we look back upon the scenes which it has unfolded, we hail with joy new proofs of the fulfilment of those promises which woke the lyres of ancient prophets, and catch new glimpses of a profound plan for the redemption of our fallen race which the Almighty is urging forward to a glorious consummation. Never before, within as brief a period, has man acquired so great a power over the elements of material nature; never before have those great truths, which are the germs of auspicious changes in society and government, been so widely spread among civilized nations; and never before has Christianity gained such substantial conquests in those vast eastern realms where the superstitions of Boodh and Brahma have brooded, for so many centuries, over the minds of benighted millions.
