Self-Complacent Christianity & Missions
"Almost the whole Christian world have partaken of a common lethargy; & if here & there a few have thought about the state of pagan nations, & felt a faint desire for their salvation, or at most mentioned the ingathering of the Jews & the fullness of the Gentiles as a thing of course in their prayers, they have felt a self-complacency on account of their superior zeal; comparing their feelings, not with the greatness of the subject, but with those of their yet more lethargic neighbors."
