A CENTURY OF CHRISTIAN PROGRESS. 
 
 It is proposed in this paper to consider the moral and Christian progress 
 of the century just closed, in relation to the evangelization of the world. 
 
 Without attempting to trace the great stream of religious thought through 
 all its varied windings and eddies, or to note all the various affluents that 
 have modified its character, or helped to swell its volume, it will he 
 enough for our purpose to mark the contrast presented at the beginning 
 and close of the period under review. 
 
 The year 1776 marks an era of intellectual revolt against all old and 
 established institutions. On the continent of Europe it was preeminently 
 a revolt against everything that bore the name of, or was in any form con¬ 
 nected with religion. The order of the Illuminati was then organized. In 
 Catholic countries hatred of Romanism, as the ally of political despotism, 
 had led to the expulsion of the Jesuits, from one country after another, till 
 the formal suppression of the order, in 1773, and, later, to the abject humil¬ 
 iation of the Papal See, in 1799. 
 
 But, with the rejection of an ecclesiastical system that claimed a des¬ 
 potic control over the thoughts, the consciences, and the lives of men, and 
 yet permitted the grossest immorality in the priesthood, and the deepest 
 ignorance, and the coarsest superstitions among the people, was unhappily, 
 connected the rejection of all religion, and it was left to an infidel phi¬ 
 losophy to reconstruct society, to remodel opinions, manners, and institu¬ 
 tions. The language and the literature of France everywhere had the 
 ascendant, and both were steeped in vice. Men of brilliant intellect, of 
 marvelous command of style, of boldest speculation on all topics, sacred 
 and profane, men profligate and false even to the ordinary decencies of 
 private life, ruled the intellectual circles of Europe, from Paris to St. Pe¬ 
 tersburg. Christianity fared but poorly in the midst of such influences. 
 The dominant intellectual philosophy left no ground for morals higher 
 than a selfish prudence, and no basis whatever for the supernatural and 
 spiritual in man. Orthodoxy was a synonym for ignorance and stupidity. 
 The full results of these theories and speculations, of this undermining of 
 the foundations of society, were in due time to be reaped at the very 
 capital where the goddess of Reason had been enthroned, to the horror 
 and disgust of the civilized world — once and for all, it is to be hoped — 
 for the instruction of mankind. 
 
 The German and the English mind had been too profoundly pervaded by 
 Christian thought to follow on to the same excesses, though bewildered 
 and beclouded for a time. In Germany some Protestant theologians foL 
 lowed the example of the Archbishop of Paris, and renounced the religion 
 they had been set to defend ; but the despised Pietists that centred at 
 Halle, and the humble Moravians, faithful to the memories of Spener,

 Franke, and Zinzendorf, despite their contempt of human learning, through 
 a not very unnatural reaction against the literary circles of the time, kept 
 the fire burning on the altars of a purer faith, till better days. 
 
 What the Pietists and the Moravians were to Germany, the Methodists 
 were to England in this period of general religious declension, when apolo¬ 
 gies were deemed necessary for Christianity, and when public morality in 
 high places was illustrated by the vices of the court, so scathingly set 
 forth by the pen of Thackeray. Good men and women there were, both in 
 the established church and among dissenters, notwithstanding the general 
 coldness and indifference; but Protestantism, in England as elsewhere in 
 Europe, as a whole, was powerless to meet the emergencies of the hour, 
 and hardly able to withstand the tide of infidelity that, for a time, seemed 
 likely to submerge all Christendom. In this country the great awakening 
 of 1740 had revived the spirit of the fathers and inaugurated a period of 
 revivals which continue to this day as a peculiar characteristic of American 
 churches. Powerful revivals were enjoyed near the close of the Revolu¬ 
 tionary AVar, in different sections, especially among the Baptists, and con¬ 
 tributed largely to the preservation of evangelical religion during that try¬ 
 ing time. 
 
 From the days of Eliot to Edwards, frequent attempts had been made 
 for the religious instruction of the Indian races. Still there was no wide¬ 
 spread missionary interest. The half-way covenant scheme, the widely 
 prevailing practice of admitting to church ordinances persons of correct 
 outward deportment without deep religious convictions, or any practical 
 acquaintance with saving faith, hindered all true Christian activity, and 
 helped to merge the church in the world. To this must be added the de¬ 
 moralization incident to war, and intercourse with distinguished French 
 infidels and English Free Religionists, in consequence of their sympathy 
 with the cause of American independence. 
 
 There was in England a Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 
 the forerunner of the great Tract Societies, and a missionary organization 
 with special reference to the spiritual needs of English colonists in differ¬ 
 ent parts of the world, but doing something for the heathen, as among the 
 North American Indians ; and there was, to the honor, be it said, of evan¬ 
 gelical Christians in Denmark, as an outgrowth of the Pietistic movement, 
 a Foreign Missionary Society, known by its establishment of the Tran- 
 quebar Mission, and honorably represented during the last half of the 
 eighteenth century by Schwartz, justly named the Apostle of India. This 
 enterprise attracted the attention of English Christians, roused a good 
 deal of superficial enthusiasm, that was expressed in contributions to the 
 amount of a few hundred pounds, — eighty pounds a year for several 
 years,—between 1760 and 1770. The Moravians, also, rich in faith 
 though poor in this world’s goods, and little esteemed by the great Protes¬ 
 tant churches of the last century, had begun missions in Greenland and in 
 the Indies, and shown the possibility of success in the most untoward cir¬ 
 cumstances. With the exception of these limited efforts nothing had been 
 attempted in behalf of the heathen world. 
 
 Nor was there greater interest throughout Christendom in the manifold

 varieties of home effort that enter so largely into the Christian life of our 
 time. There were none of those home societies, embracing all possible in¬ 
 terests, physical and intellectual, as well as distinctively religious, — none 
 of the great home mission enterprises, no Sabbath-schools, no Bible Socie¬ 
 ties, little care for the poor and neglected classes. Though careful statis¬ 
 tics belong rather to the agencies of the present generation, and are not 
 available to any accurate estimate of former periods, it is certainly safe to 
 say that the number of evangelical believing church members in this coun¬ 
 try at the present time is far greater than the entire number in Christendom 
 in 1776; and it is not too much to say that there is more real aggressive 
 power for the promotion of the cause of Christ put forth to-day, at home 
 and abroad, by the Christians of Scotland, or of New England, than by 
 all Protestantism a century ago. 
 
 Of the Greek and Oriental churches, — Christian in name rather than 
 as aggressive forces in the interest of truth, — no account need here be 
 taken. 
 
 The outlook for Christianity a hundred years since was certainly dreary 
 enough. The science, the philosophy, the culture of the age were all 
 against it. Its aggressive power seemed reduced to a minimum. The 
 Protestantism of the Reformation had long since spent its force, turned 
 back at first by the great Catholic reaction, then wasting its energies on 
 internal conflicts and losing its independence by alliance with the State, 
 and, at last, entering into a truce with its inveterate foe. In Great Britain 
 the movement inaugurated by Whitefield and the Wesleys was yet in its 
 infancy, and Protestant Christians generally shrunk back, in Pharisaic pride 
 or indifference, from the frightful spectre that loomed up in France. In 
 this country, whatever of Christian life there was, found ample exercise 
 in the struggle for self-preservation. 
 
 And this was the aggressive power of Christendom a century ago. What 
 a contrast is presented in the multiplied agencies of the present time. 
 What an advance since then in the moral sentiment of the Protestant 
 world. The Declaration of Independence, by its recognition of the rights 
 of man, gave a new impulse to political morality. The age of Walpole, of 
 Madame de Pompadour, of Frederick the Great, is no longer possible in 
 Europe. The growth of constitutional governments, (he extension of the 
 right of suffrage, the progress in legislation, popular education by the 
 state, the legal recognition of woman, the abolition of slavery and serfdom, 
 are but so many steps in the development of a purer and more comprehen¬ 
 sive political morality. A moral sense has been awakened that is shocked 
 by political abuses in high places, as never before. This steady and health¬ 
 ful progress is found in Protestant countries, and emphatically in propor¬ 
 tion to the strength and activity of their religious life, till “ the strength 
 and impulse ” of the world are found to-day in those countries. 
 
 It is now the English language, saturated with Christian ideas, gather¬ 
 ing up into itself the best thought of all the ages, that is the great agent 
 of Christian civilization throughout the world ; at this moment affecting 
 the destinies and moulding the character of half the human race. French 
 influence, so dominant in the literary world, has passed away. The ency-

 clopedists have left but the shadow of a name. The Nazarene has tri¬ 
 umphed. 
 
 The intense intellectual activity of a century since had no vital connec¬ 
 tion with the deeper spiritual wants of the race. It added not a single 
 discovery to the sum of human knowledge, not a single invention even in 
 the interest of material progress. i It was critical, not inventive ; destruc¬ 
 tive, not constructive. The liberty of which it boasted was not freedom, 
 but license ; whose principles were developed and illustrated in the salons 
 of Paris, and in the excesses of the rabble. Its illumination was not from 
 above. 
 
 In the hour of Europe’s supreme need there was nothing to meet the 
 spiritual necessities of men, recoiling at first in disgust from the abuses of 
 Romanism, and then from the greater abuses of an infidel philosophy, but 
 to go back to the church of Rome ; and the papal system, that seemed tot¬ 
 tering to its fall, obtained a new lease of life. The concessions wrung 
 from an infallible Pope, the temporal sovereignty lost, the ecclesiastical 
 prerogatives sun-endered, were redemanded by the same infallibility, and 
 regained with the consent of the great Protestant powers after the fall of 
 the first French empire, till, in later j-ears, the papacy puts forth all the 
 most arrogant claims of the Middle Ages, in utter defiance of the intelli¬ 
 gence of the age, and in scorn of the lessons of history. 
 
 In Protestant countries the reaction took another form. While the 
 hearts of the princes and captains had fainted and failed, and human 
 defences of the faith had gone down before a sharp-sighted infidel criti¬ 
 cism, the humble believers of the Sacramental Plost had stood finn, never 
 known they were beaten, and were at last left masters of the field. The 
 power of an endless life was in them. They became the channels of grace, 
 displaying itself in numerous and wide-spread revivals in this country dur¬ 
 ing the last decade of the eighteenth century, and in a striking evangelical 
 movement throughout Great Britain. In Germany, for fifty years, the 
 Pietists contended with rationalistic tendencies, and steadily gained in the 
 confidence and respect of the popular mind. 
 
 The missionary spirit of modern times was born of this great work of 
 grace. Men brought to the knowledge of the truth seemed moved, as sel¬ 
 dom before, by the impulse to make the gospel known to others. In Eng¬ 
 land, the Baptists, inspired by the singular devotion of William Carey, 
 were the first to organize for the foreign work, in 1792. The Congrega- 
 tionalists and others united in the London Missionary Society in 1795, and 
 were followed by the Church Missionary Society in 1800. 
 
 In this country missionary work took definite form a little later. At first, 
 individuals seem to have gone out as evangelists into destitute sections of 
 the home field, at their own charges. Then numerous local societies were 
 organized, as in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, to send the gospel 
 to the Indians, and the settlers on the frontier. “ The early years of the 
 century,” observes Mr. Punchard, in a manuscript volume not yet given to 
 the world,^ “were remarkable for the quickening of good men in good

 works, for tlie multiplication of churches, missionary, Bible, and tract socie¬ 
 ties, and other Christian and benevolent associations, and for the effective 
 measures everywhere adopted for the spread of religious truth, so that 
 a general expectation prevailed among American Christians that the time 
 was not far distant when the earth should be filled with the knowledge of 
 the glory of God, as the waters cover the sea.” 
 
 The necessity of educating more ministers led to the foundation of the 
 first Theological Seminary, at Andover, in 1808. A committee of the Gen¬ 
 eral Association of Massachusetts, in 1809, was led, by the cheering reports 
 from all quarters, to anticipate the near approach of the millennial glory. 
 The same year it was stated by Dr. Griffin, that as much had been done in 
 the fourteen years preceding, to promote evangelical missions, as in almost 
 as many previous centuries. At such a time of religious interest it is not 
 strange that men should turn their thoughts to the duty of preaching Christ 
 in foreign lands, and the next year, 1810, witnessed the organization of the 
 American Board. The great societies for home and foreign missions, both 
 in tliTs country and in Great Britain, gathered up into larger bodies, and 
 gave wise direction to many local committees and associations. 
 
 The missionary period of the church was thus inaugurated ; the great 
 movement begun that has gone on broadening and deepening till it includes 
 all the leading evangelical denominations of Christendom ; till more than 
 fifty millions of dollars have been devoted to the circulation of the Scrip¬ 
 tures in all the principal languages spoken among men ; till we know not 
 how many millions more have been devoted to the circulation of a Chris¬ 
 tian literature, and to the development of that vast system of home chari¬ 
 ties reaching not only to the lonely settler on the distant frontier, to the 
 humble freedman at the South, but to every form of human misery and suf¬ 
 fering; till the helpless poor, the blind, and the insane live in palaces ; till 
 the freewill offerings of Christian hearts, in sympathy for the perishing 
 in heathen lands, who can make no return but their grateful love, have 
 amounted to more than $100,000,000; till tens of thousands of cultured 
 men and women have given up all the attractions of Christian homes, and 
 the opportunities of Chidstia,n society, for the greater privilege of makincf 
 known the unsearchable riches of Christ among the Gentiles; till among 
 all the leading tribes and nations of men, the voice of the preacher has 
 been heard, and the gospel has proved itself to be the power of God unto 
 salvation to every one that believeth, and Christianity is seen to be the 
 one religion for mankind. 
 
 In marvelous correspondence with this awakened missionary spirit, and 
 opening the way for its exercise, have been the developments of Provi¬ 
 dence. The barriers that separated nations have been broken down; peo¬ 
 ples afar off have been brought nigh, even to our doors; the inventions, 
 the discoveries of science, the railway, the steamer, the telegraph, the im¬ 
 proved press, the respect won for Christian nations by every advance in 
 social progress — all are tributary to the cause of Christ. 
 
 What preparation for the coming glory ! What vast illustrations of the 
 benign power of the gospel in developing the possibilities of humanity, in 
 quickening thought and activity, pervading all institutions, trembling in

 the accents of human speech, till the child in a Christian land takes up 
 unconsciously into his intellectual and moral character more of knowledge, 
 more of practical wisdom, than was dreamed of a century ago. The com¬ 
 mon sense of to-day is thus enriched by the thought and the experience of 
 the centuries. And yet there is indifierence, and infidelity, and contempt 
 of the Christian faith in certain circles, as there was a century ago, and 
 material science makes its assaults on the bulwarks that gird it round. 
 Yes — useful as so many wholesome irritants of Christian thought. 
 
 “Our little systems have their day; 
 
 They have their day, and cease to be ; 
 
 They are but broken lights of Thee, 
 
 And Thou, 0 Lord, art more than they.” 
 
 We are come again to an age of intellectual revolt against the errors and 
 the superstitions of the past. It is not confined to the realm of Christendom, 
 but embraces large sections of the heathen world, and soon must embrace 
 them all. The light of modern civilization is shining in on the dark places 
 of the earth, and men are waking from the stupor of ages. Once more 
 leading minds of Catholic countries are rejecting the arrogance and the 
 pretensions of Romanism. The Jesuit is no longer tolerated in many of 
 the Catholic states. The wail of the Papacy over the irreligion and infi¬ 
 delity of the times is unhappily true wherever Romanism has sway. “Ir¬ 
 religion,” writes one long resident in Italy, “in hybrid forms, covers the 
 land. For Popery there is no fear. It has lost all hold on the intelligence 
 of the country.” ^ Thus Romanism, where best known and illustrated, is 
 rejected by the thinking classes. Shall they be offered a purer faith ? 
 
 The opportunity presented to Protestantism in 1776, and in subsequent 
 years, was lost. In the ne.xt great movement of 1848, something was done 
 in the interest of the gospel by Bible societies and committees of various 
 kinds, especially in Great Britain. The Waldenses emerged from their 
 Alpine fastnesses, and thousands of Bibles were scattered in Spain, Italv, 
 and France. The work thus begun has been followed up but feebly by 
 missionary societies of this country and in the old world. The results that 
 have followed wisely directed effort are all that the most sanguine could 
 have anticipated, but the effort has been utterly inadequate to the press¬ 
 ing need. It is a grave question for the Christian church to consider, 
 whether the millions of Catholic lands shall be left to drift off into hope¬ 
 less indifference and enmity to all religion. If it be said that they have, or 
 might find in the Catholic church, the substance of the gospel, we only 
 point to the painful fact of the prevailing infidelity among the educated 
 minds. 
 
 A like intellectual revolt is in rapid progress in India, as the result of 
 the great educational work there going forward, largely under the auspices 
 of the English government. Thousands of young men are passing out of 
 the schools and colleges, no longer able to accept the crude superstitions 
 of their fathers, but untaught in the gospel. The destructive agencies are 
 greatly in excess of the constructive. The old religious faiths are giving 
 way and no substitute is offered. The missionary agencies are altogether

 inadequate to the crisis. The golden opportunity is passing. The same is 
 true of Japan. Buddhism, Shintooisin, Confucianism, seem fast losing 
 their hold on the popular mind, and multitudes are eagerly waiting for the 
 truth. The millions of China, also, will soon be on our hands. Need we 
 speak of the Turkish Empire, and its urgent need at the present moment 
 of wise, thoughtful, Christian statesmen to guide its affairs, and of influ¬ 
 ential minds in all departments of thought and activity, such as only a' 
 true Christian faith can develop, such as we hope may be developed yet 
 by agencies now in operation ? Aild Africa, — thrown open of late by 
 English arms, and still more by the patient, untiring, sublime devotion of 
 Livingstone, — what shall be said of the claims of that land on the Chris¬ 
 tian world, and emphatically on this country ? 
 
 The field is the world. As never before in human history, the field is 
 the world. The church is prepared for the work as never before. All 
 things are ready, waiting for the grand forward movement, that shall put 
 the Word of Life into the hands of every son and daughter of the human 
 race. The results of missionary effort are already indicative of such a 
 consummation at no distant day. It is only a question of time. Four 
 thousand devoted men and women, educated in the best learning of the 
 day, are bearing the seeds of Clmsfian civilization round the world. They 
 are scattered through the Turkish Empire, and among the millions of 
 India ; they are found in the open ports of China and threading their way 
 up its great rivers ; their words find crowds of eager listeners in the new 
 world of Japan; they brave the fevers of the Gold Coast, and from the 
 Cape of Good Hope are planning conquests in the interior of Africa ; songs 
 of praise from hundreds of islands in the Pacific attest their presence ; and 
 they risk their lives at the hands of fanatics in papal lands, that they 
 may make known the simple story of the cross. Half a million of souls 
 won to Christ, and a Christian community of nearly two millions who have 
 come out of the darkness and the superstition of centuries, often at the 
 loss of all things, are tokens of the Divine blessing on their labors ; till 
 the progress of modern missions, in the last seventy years, exceeds that of 
 the first seventy of the apostolic age. 
 
 We are permitted to have part in the third great movement of the Holy 
 Spirit for the full accomplishment of the Redeemer’s work. The first, be¬ 
 ginning with the mission of the Apostles and the day of Pentecost, was 
 mainly restricted by the bounds of the Roman Empire ; the second, mark¬ 
 ing the period of the Reformation, did not pass the limits of Christendom ; 
 the third, in this missionary period, embraces the world; and the vision 
 of the Psalmist and the burden of prophecy — that “ all nations whom 
 Thou hast made shall come and worship before Thee, O Lord, and shall 
 glorify Thy name ” — seem for the first time near to fulfillment. 
 
 It is a critical moment. There is a tide in the aflfairs of missions as of 
 men, that taken at the flood leads on to fortune. What now is the dictate 
 of a wise economy? Is it to let the present opportunities pass but half 
 improved; to let the millions now waking to new life become cold and in¬ 
 different, or hostile to all religion, through the influence of an ungodly, 
 materialistic civilization, in the expectation of bringing them to Christ at 
 
10

 some futiu’e time ; to leave the missionary forces in the field but half sup¬ 
 plied with the means they require to their most efficient action; to cry 
 “ halt,” to the advancing columns of the Lord’s hosts, and bid them re¬ 
 trench in their plans and efforts in the face of a disheartened foe, instead 
 of pressing on to victory ? 
 
 May we not safely and wisely go forward to do the Lord’s work, in 
 obedience to his command, and as He opens the way? Are not all other 
 objects, •—• civilization, culture, the welfare of our families, personal en¬ 
 joyments,— to be subordinated to this? 
 
 Is not this the one great duty laid on Christians in this land, pressed 
 upon us by all the marvelous Providences of our past history, by our un¬ 
 exampled growth in prosperity as a people, realizing, as nowhere else, the 
 full fruitage of Christian ideas and Christian institutions ? Is it of no 
 significance that with this growth in material welfare and in political 
 power there has been a still greater development of the Christian church ; 
 that the number of cburch members has increased nearly three times as fast 
 as the population; that the one evangelical minister to 2,400 souls in 1776 
 is repi’esented to-day by one for every 700? And then, as if it were not 
 enough to multiply ministers. Young Men’s Christian Associations have 
 been called into existence, to carry the gospel into all the by-ways and 
 hedges of our social life. And in these last days a spirit of grace has 
 been poured out on our Christian laymen to make them evangelists to the 
 masses, and to give new illustration to the power of the simple Gospel of 
 Christ; and last, but not least, upon our Christian women, too, from the 
 Aroostook to the Golden Gate, that they may pour life and light upon the 
 darkened minds and hearts of their sisters in heathen lands. 
 
 What is the meaning of this vast accumulation of spiritual forces, of 
 this special blessing of God on American Christians, but a call to go for¬ 
 ward and win the world for Christ ? 
 
 This country is already evangelized. No man need here fail of a knowl¬ 
 edge of the way of life. The facts just stated show this. All denomina¬ 
 tions vie in the race toward the setting sun, till in a town of twelve thou¬ 
 sand people more than twenty churches are found struggling for life — 
 for the survival not always of the fittest. And this, when hundreds, not 
 to say thousands of such cities in China and Japan, and millions of im¬ 
 mortal souls, not only in China and Japan, but in India and Africa, with 
 all their undeveloped possibilities of manhood and womanhood, and heir¬ 
 ship to a heavenly inheritance, have not yet heard that there is any 
 Christ. 
 
 What more fitting time than on this Centennial year, for the church of 
 Christ in these United States to arise and shine, the glory of the Lord be¬ 
 ing risen upon her ? What more fitting time to organize a grand move¬ 
 ment, to make the next century glorious for the triumphs of the gospel in 
 all the earth? What so conclusive, so overwhelming an argument against 
 the infidelity of the time? What so potent agency to stem the mate¬ 
 rialism and the secular spirit that makes so many professed Christians 
 indifferent to all Christian objects and ends of life that do not stand in 
 immediate connection with their personal convenience or the welfare and

 social position of their families, that finds its way into our higher insti¬ 
 tutions of learning, turning the thoughts of our Christian youth to mere 
 literary and scientific culture, instead of leading them to consecrate their 
 powers and attainments to self-denying labor and sacrifice for the cause 
 of Christ ? 
 
 Oh for a baptism of the Holy Ghost, as on the day of Pentecost, filling 
 us here to-day, and filling all Christian hearts in this land, with a just 
 sense of the great opportunity, of the great duty and the greater privi¬ 
 lege of service for Christ in this eventful time, and giving to all the one 
 controlling purpose, and the sufficient grace, to live henceforth not unto 
 ourselves, but unto Christ, and for the evangelization of the world He has 
 redeemed.
