Excerpt from The Life and Character of Adoniram Judson, Late Missionary to Burmah: A Commemorative Discourse Delivered Before the American Baptist Missionary Union, in Boston, May 15, 1851 It was a law Of ancient Israel, that every fiftieth year should be hallowed as a jubilee; and surely the Christian Israel has never had more fitting occasion than that which is furnished by the present time, to lift up the song Of tri umph and Of hope. At the Opening Of this period, a dark ness that might be felt covered the face Of Europe; the moral earthquake, which convulsed France to its centre, vibrated throughout Christendom; the Old world was rock ing on its foundations, and the wisest Of statesmen, phi losophers, and philanthropists, despaired Of the fortunes Of the race. But amidst those scenes Of portentous gloom, the Scripture was verified which saith, Light is sown for the righteous; the spirit of missionary heroism was then kin dled afresh, as with the breath Of the Almighty; the churches Of Christ were then rallying for a concerted onset against the powers Of darkness in those lands where their sway had been undisputed; the small beginnings that were the jeer and mock Of worldly wisdom have thriven into an enterprise which has won the homage Of the world; a deep presenti ment Of defeat has struck through the heart Of heathenism, and the Christians Of Europe and America call to each other in joyous songs, that celebrate the spreading victories of the cross.
