218 THE COMPREHENSIVE CHURCH.
missionary field is always to be regarded as one, the
world ; the terms Domestic and Foreign being understood as terms of locality, adopted for convenience.
Domestic missions are those which are established
within, and Foreign missions are those which are established without the territory of the United States."
The operations of this society have hitherto been
very much blessed both in our western Territories and
new States, and also in foreign lands. But it has been
straitened for means. It is, however, promising to do
more, and the plans of the society are formed in faith;
and it is trusted that ere long this General Missionary
Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church will call
out the whole strength of the Church in sustaining and
carrying into full and triumphant effect the noble and
truly evangelical missionary principles which are so unequivocally asserted in its Constitution.
It cannot be denied that the theory of missions, and
the relation of the Church to this subject, declared so
authoritatively by the General Convention, are correct.
If the conviction of right principles and also the
frankest acknowledgment of duty are evidences of the
soundness and honorableness of a Church, then there is
much in the Protestant Episcopal Church to invite to
its unity all those, certainly, who love to own and to
fulfil the last charge of their ascended Lord: " Go ye
into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature."
