Excerpt from The Ministrant Church: A Sermon Before the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, at Their Meeting in Salem, Mass., October 3, 1871
I Speak now of impression on the world. Every Christian life, at home or abroad, is in truth such a ministration. Its con secration is entire or nothing. Whosoever forsaketh not all that he hath, cannot be my disciple, is the law as much in Chris tian America as in India or Central Africa. And in general, I believe, such a life involves as much sacrifice and brings as much happiness in one field as In another. It is the great first step which costs, in either. And it is more what we are, than where, that fixes the happiness as well as nobleness of life. These are determined more by loyalty to our professed self-consecration, its entirety and absoluteness, than any or all exterior circumstances whatsoever.
