ince the great efforts that Britain had made between the years 500 and
1000 to bring the knowledge of the truth into the still heathen portions
of the Continent, -since the days of Columban and Gal, of Boniface and
Willibrord, -there had been a cessation of missionary enterprise. The known
portions of the world were either Christian, or were in the hands of the Ma-
hommedans; and no doubt much of the adventurous spirit which, united
with religious enthusiasm, forms the missionary, found vent in the Cru-
sades, and training in the military orders. The temper of the age, and the
hopelessness of converting aMahommedan, made the good men of the third
500 years use their swords rather than their tongues against the infidel; and
it was only in the case of men possessing such rare natures as those of Fran-
cis of Assisi, or Raymond Lull, that the possibility of trying to bring over a
single Saracen to the faith was imagined.
3 CHARLOTTE M. (CHARLOTTE MARY) YONGE
It was in the revival from the Paganism with which classical tastes had in-
fected the Church, that the spirit of missions again awoke, stimulated, of
course, by the wide discoveries of fresh lands that were dawning upon the
earth. If from 1000 to 1500 the progress of the Gospel was confined to the
borders of the Slavonic nation, the space of time from1500 onwards has been
one of constant and unwearied effort to raise the standard of the Cross in the
new worlds beyond the Atlantic.
Spain, Portugal, France, as nations, and the great company of the Jesuits as
one mighty brotherhood, were the foremost in the great undertaking; but
their doings form a history of their own, and our business is with the efforts
of our own Church and country in the same great cause.
Our work was not taken up so soon as theirs, partly because the spirit of col-
onization did not begin amongst us so early as in Spain and Portugal, and
partly because the foundations of most of our colonies were laid by private
enterprise, rather than by public adventure, and moreover some of the ear-
lier ones in unsettled times.
It may be reckoned as one peculiarity of Englishmen, that their greatestworks
are usually not the outcome of enthusiastic design, but rather grow upon
them by degrees, as they are led in paths that they have not known, and
merely undertake the duty that stands immediately before them, step by
step.
The young schoolmaster at Little Baddow, near Chelmsford, who decided
on following in the track of the Pilgrim Fathers to New England, went sim-
ply to enjoy liberty of conscience, and to be free to minister according to his
own views, and never intended to become the Apostle of the Red Indians.
Nothing is more remarkable than the recoil from neglected truths. When,
even in the earliest ages of the Church, the Second Commandment was sup-
posed to be a mere enhancing of the first, and therefore curtailed and omit-
ted, there was little perception that this would lead to popular, though not
theoretical, idolatry, still less that this law, when again brought forward,
