Conclusion

We cannot take a step towards evangelizing the Heathen, without entering into many inquiries as to the extent of our own moral wretchedness; and such inquiries are eminently useful to ourselves … [If], by comparing our light with the darkness of the Heathen, our riches with their poverty, we learn to prize these blessings more and to use them better; then, Sir, Missionary efforts prove a blessing to us, to our Societies, and to our country.

(Reverend Richard Watson, Address at the founding of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society in Sheffield, 18131)
