Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Methodist Magazine, Vol. 6: For the Year of Our Lord 1823 Ge decked with an imperishable crown, shinin with many a precious gem, gathered from the rubish of has enism, which, polished by Christianity, will sparkle with eternal rays of glory. A Swan'rz, a Bvcuamn, with many others, with whom it would be an honour to be associated, might be mentioned, and whose names will be pronounced by each succeeding generation, with an eclat heightened by the inspiring sound of the Redeemer's N ame - a name to which they are indebted for all their celebrity, and for all their success in the Missionary cause. And neither will As mar, the apostle of America, be soon forgotten by his numerous sons in the gospel, and his many spiritual children. Fiecalling our minds from beyond the seas, and surveying the dikrent sections of our own continent, we are not less cheered by looking through the perspective of Missionary operations. Although, as might have been expected, some obstacles have reared their heads to impede the pro ress of the zealous mis sionary, yet, by being encountered wi that spirit which Chris tianity inculcates, they will gradually yield to its an rior claims, and secure an ultimate tnumph to the power 0 truth. The mountains shall fall, and vallies shall rise, and thus a high way shall be opened for our God, even in the barren wildernesses of America. The soul of an Ea-r, a Bnamnnn, appears to animate some of our modern missionaries, and leaping over the hils and vallies, the make them echo with the warning voice, Repeat, for the king am of God is at hand. Even the distant In dian tribes, to whom we owe so much, are listening to the sound of salvation, and are becoming charmed with the beauties and glories of Immanuel, God with us. The Osages, the Wyandots, the Creeks, and the Cherokees, are added to the number of Indian tribes, who are beginning to hail Jesus of Nazareth as the Son of God, and as their Almighty Redeemer. And how wide a field is thus opened for the full di lay of American philanthropy, and of its missionary enterprise 5gurely this wilderness may yet blossom as the rose. The whole of the heathen Tribes, who inhabit our Northern and Western wilds, present an im crions claim, a claim both of justice and of benevolence, upon t e combined energies of American Christians, and so loud and commanding is the voice Of want, of spiritual ignorance and moral wretchedness, that, to disobey, is to incur guilt and condemnation. But the successful experiment which has been made, of introducing the gospel among these brethren of the forest, seems to be a pledge of future success.
