In 1853, when these islands were nominally Christianised, and a native ministry consisting of fifty-six pastors had been established, the American Board of Missions, which had expended during thirty-five years nine hundred and three thousand dollars in Christianising the group, and had sent out 149 male and female missionaries, resolved that it should not receive any further aid either in men or money.
If the Christian Church had to undertake the task of Christianising the world by its own strength, we might well despair of success and stop altogether. It is not two to one; it is twenty to one, or an even greater disproportion. But we are not only numerically weak.
