“On the American Continent, what a wonderful amalgamation of races we have witnessed, how wonderfully they have been fused into that one American people! — type and earnest of a larger fusion which Christianity will yet accomplish, when, by its blessed power, all tribes and tongues and races shall become one holy family. The present popularity of beneficences promises well for the missionary cause in the future. Men's hearts are undergoing a process of enlargement. Their sympathies are taking a wider scope. The world is getting closer, smaller, quite a compact affair. The world for Christ will yet be realized.”
~ David Livingstone, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 419.
Here is an excellent piece by Linford D. Fisher titled ‘Native Americans, Conversion, and Christian Practice in Colonial New England, 1640-1730.’ It gives broader details on the sundry Missionary activities undertaken by the Puritans during this era.
