Excerpt from Power Belongeth Unto God: A Sermon, Preached at Hartford, Connecticut, September 12, 1854, Before the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, at Their Forty-Fifth Annual Meeting
In this condition of things, Christianity interferes. Its spirit is in the prayer, Thy kingdom come. Thy kingdom come. Let other rule cease let man give place, obey; let the Lord reign. Thy will be done. It would have all power used under God's sovereign Wish and wisdom.
It will be observed, that here is no proposal on the part of Christianity to dispossess mankind of their efficiency; none to narrow, to neutralize, to obstruct it in the least degree. The generic pur pose is to induce men, as acting stewards, to hold and employ whatever forces are lodged with them, cordially, according to the judgment and direction of the Great Owner.
