A stirring call to link faith with national purpose through home missions. This historical sermon argues that true patriotism grows when a nation’s strength is braided with biblical values and worldwide compassion, urging readers to support evangelism at home and beyond.
In 1851, a preacher invites Americans to see their resources and influence as a platform for spreading the Gospel. The message links national prosperity to spiritual renewal, and it challenges readers to invest in churches, schools, and missions that reach every nation.
The text frames the American Home Missionary Society as essential to both domestic peace and global evangelization, urging practical action, charitable giving, and steadfast faith in a world-sized mission.
Ideal for readers interested in 19th‑century religious history, mission work, and the role of faith in shaping national policy.

Excerpt from A Sermon: In Behalf of the American Home Missionary Society, Preached in the Cities of New York and Brooklyn, May, 1851
The beautiful principle embodied in these words, we propose, on this occasion, to apply to the subject of Home Missions; for rightly understood, we think it places that enterprise in its most attractive and sublime relations. This principle, if we have apprehended it, is, that the establishment and prevalence of right relig ious influences and institutions in our own land, is the surest and speediest method of securing the evangeli zation of the world. The principle originally applied.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the vital importance of Christian missions within the United States and their profound impact on evangelizing the world. The author contends that the United States, with its vast resources and influence, has a unique responsibility to spread the message of Christianity both domestically and abroad. By establishing and maintaining a strong Christian presence within its own borders, the United States can serve as a beacon of hope and a catalyst for spiritual transformation around the globe. The author examines the historical and theological underpinnings of this mission, tracing its roots to the ancient church's belief that its mission extended beyond its own borders to reach all nations. Drawing parallels between the United States and ancient Israel, the author argues that the United States has been chosen by God to play a pivotal role in the spread of Christianity due to its unparalleled resources and unique position in history. The book delves deeply into the practical implications of this mission, emphasizing the need for evangelism, education, and social outreach. The author calls on Christians in the United States to embrace their responsibility to support missionaries, both financially and through prayer, and to actively engage in spreading the gospel message in their own communities. Ultimately, this book presents a compelling vision of the United States as a force for good in the world, a nation whose destiny is intertwined with the spread of Christianity. It challenges readers to consider their own role in this mission and to recommit themselves to the cause of evangelizing the world.
