106 페이지 - But Peter and John answered and said unto them; Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
114 페이지 - The good must tolerate the evil, when it is so strong that it cannot be redressed without danger and disturbance of the whole Church; and commit the matter to God's judgment, in the latter day.
34 페이지 - I will answer in the negative : it is my decided opinion, first, that under existing circumstances there is no human possibility of converting the Hindoos to any sect of Christianity ; and, secondly, that the translation of the Holy Scriptures circulated among them, so far from conducing to this end, will, on the contrary, increase the prejudices of the natives against the Christian religion, and prove, in many respects, detrimental to it.
65 페이지 - I will declare it, with shame and confusion, that I do not remember any one who may be said to have embraced Christianity from conviction, and through quite disinterested motives.

23 페이지 - There is a church at every station ; but, with only two exceptions, they are built with raw brick, and covered with palmyra leaves. The ground, on which these churches stand, was given to the mission by the Nabob's government nearly twenty years ago, and most of the buildings were erected at the same time. Those I have seen are in very good repair, and it requires but a small sum annually to keep them so. The mission has received an important accession since the last report in another native priest,...
114 페이지 - Testament, in deciding without appeal all controversies relating to the law, promising that they should not err therein, and punishing with death such as proudly refused to obey their decisions, and surely he has not done less for the Church-guides of the New Testament.
80 페이지 - On the whole I rejoice to believe that, in very many parts of this great country, " the fields are white already to harvest," and it is a circumstance of great comfort to me, that in all the good which is done, the Church of England seems to take the lead, that our Liturgy has been translated into...
76 페이지 - Tippoo Sultan, most of those apostates came back to be reconciled to their former religion, saying that, their apostacy had been only external, and they always kept in their hearts the true faith in Christ.
