Not otherwise can the whole country be permeated by evangelical influences.
It is plain that in a work so unlike anything at home, missionaries ought to have large discretion as to the time and manner of organizing native churches.

Nor, since these infant communities are only partially enlightened and sanctified, is there reason for discouragement should they sometimes be not perfectly harmonious with their missionary fathers.

It was so for a time with one of the first churches formed at the metropolis.

The missionaries had of course the sole responsibility of determining what use should be made of the funds remitted by the Board.

But the pastor and a portion of the church thought they ought to have a voice in their disposal.
