Excerpt from Missionaries After the Apostolical School: Three Addresses
At that time I had no design whatever of giving to my thoughts any wider publicity, and was prepared to resist any application which might haply be made to me to do so; but an application presented itself from a quarter which I was not prepared to resist, - my own sympatliics with a heart-broken widow, the.

Excerpt from Missionaries After the Apostolical School: Three Addresses
Having been requested by the London Missionary Society to preach upon the occasion of their last anniversary, I willingly complied, without much thought of what I was undertaking; but when I came to reflect upon the sacredness and importance of the cause given into my hands, and the dignity of the audience before which I had to discourse, it seemed to my conscience that I had undertaken a duty full of peril and responsibility, for which I ought to prepare myself with every preparation of the mind and of the spirit. To this end, retiring into the quiet and peaceful country, among a society of men devoted to every good and charitable work, I searched the Scriptures in secret; and in their pious companies conversed of the convictions which were secretly brought to my mind concerning the missionary work. And thus, not without much prayer to God and self-devotion, I meditated those things which I delivered in public before the reverend and pious men who had honoured me with so great a trust.
At that time I had no design whatever of giving to my thoughts any wider publicity, and was prepared to resist any application which might haply be made to me to do so; but an application presented itself from a quarter which I was not prepared to resist, - my own sympathies with a heart-broken widow, the widow of John Smith, the missionary, who had died in prison under a sentence of death, which the good sense and good feeling of England united in pronouncing to be unjust. Inasmuch as he suffered unjustly, I viewed him as a martyr, though condemned, like his Lord, with a show of law.
