Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conference on Missions Held in 1860 at Liverpool: Including the Papers Read, the Conclusions Reached, and a Comprehensive Index, Shewing the Various Matters Brought Under Review The Conference on Christian Missions, the proceedings of which are described in the following pages, originated in a desire to have brethren brought together, who had reflected on the duty and the lukewarmness of the churches in respect of Our Grand Commission; or who could contribute actual experiences; in order that, by their mutual consultations, all Christians of the United Kingdom might be stirred up to greater zeal, and to a more complete consecration of time, of effort, and of substance, in this work of the Lord. In Gods good providence facilities were presented, and readily embraced by a number of the officers and members of Missionary Committees in London and Edinburgh; who felt that after the many years of continuous missionary labour carried on in heathen lands; after the solid advance attained in some fields, and the great experience acquired in all, it would be well for the Directors, Secretaries, and Missionaries of all Societies and Churches, to obtain an opportunity of meeting together and conferring together about their common work. It was felt that it must prove a lasting benefit for them to examine in detail the working of their various missionary agencies, to compare their different plans, and to throw into a common stock the results of that valuable experience which they have earned hardly upon the very fields of heathenism. It was felt, that while all must find abundant means of adding to their own knowledge, through the information given by brethren, all must be cheered by the tokens of missionary success; all must be stimulated to greater zeal in the service of Christ, the common Lord; and all must be bound in closer and more loving sympathy with brethren toiling for the same grand end.
