Excerpt from Four Sermons: Preached in London, at the Tenth Several Meeting of the Missionary Society, May 9, 10, 11, 1804

The following report of the Directors was made, and the succeeding Sermons were delivered, at the Tenth General Meeting of the Missionary Society, which was held in London in the month of May, 1804. The candid reader will perceive, from these able discourses, that the subject of Evangelical Missions is by no means exhausted, while the Report will evince that the Missionary sphere is greatly enlarged.

The first of these Sermons was delivered at Surry Chapel, on Wednesday Morning, May 9, the second, on the Evening of the same day, at the Tabernacle. The public business of the society occupied their attention at Haberdashers'-hall for several hours on Thursday morning, and in the evening the third discourse was preached at Tottenham-Court Chapel. The last was delivered at the parish church of St. Saviour, Southwark, on Friday morning. The memorial of his dying love, whose name the society labours to bear to the Heathen, was celebrated by a great number of Communicants, at Sion Chapel, on Friday evening, which solemn and pleasing exercise concluded and crowned the whole. The very numerous audiences which crowded the largest places in London to hear the word, the great body of gospel ministers, and other friends of the society from the country, which honoured the meeting with their visit, the greatly augmented number of communicants at the last service, with the general delight and satisfaction expressed by all, combine to prove that the grand object of the Society continues to maintain its elevated station in the hearts of British Christians, and that there is increasing reason to hope that this work will prove itself to be of God, and not of man, and that its effectual blessing will more than equal the warmest wishes of the Society.
