"I feel confident that, regarded as a mere money investment, the very best investment this country England can make, is to send out in advance of either colonists or merchants, Missionaries, who may prepare the way for those who are to follow." Sir G. Grey, Governor of New Zealand. "One thing is consummated and settled in my mind, and that is, a full and delightful conviction that the cause of Missions has never held too high a place in my estimation, or engaged too large a share of my attention. This is saying nothing, and less than nothing. It transcends immeasurably transcends the highest estimation of every created mind." - Rev. Dr. Worcester, First Sec'ry A, B. C. F. M., 1821. "It is our duty to visit surrounding islands. A missionary was never designed by Jesus Christ, to gather a congregation of a hundred or two natives, and sit down at his ease, as contented as if every sinner was converted, while thousands around him, and but a few miles off, are eating each others flesh, and drinking each others blood, living and dying without the Gospel. For my own part I cannot content myself within the narrow limits of a single reef; and, if means are not afforded, a continent would he infinitely preferable; for there, if you cannot ride, you can walk; but to these isolated islands a ship must carry you. Did you know the state of the surrounding islands, how ripe they are for the reception of the Gospel, you would sell the very gods out of your museum, if it were necessary, to carry the glad tidings of salvation to those now sitting in darkness." - Rev. John Williams, (Martyr of Erumanga, ) to the Directors of London Missionary Society, 1823. "Come, Lord, and added to thy many crowns, Receive yet one, the crown of all the earth, Thou, who alone art worthy." - Cowper.
