Frank Field Ellinwood led Presbyterian missions. Here he writes on the hindrances to the spread of the gospel. Tahiti was once a sacred name for the reception of the people to the gospel. But now he’s seen that French colonial interests interfere with the church, and sought to exploit these islands for commercial profit and the glory of France.
I remember Barack Obama getting some heat for being anti-colonial.
How can you support missions?

John Flavel, Puritan, says the church is made of the poor: definitely “in spirit”, mostly in purse. As shown by both the “congregation of the poor” from Ps 75, and the chosen, “poor of this world” in James 2:5.
Is your cong’n foreign to the poor in purse? Maybe just a few remembering pulling self up by bootstraps. Or are you lacking poor in spirit? No need to tolerate “the weak” struggling with sin?
How can you attract both kinds of the poor?

John Truair worked w/the American Seamen's Friend Society. Christian missionaries are rejected because of the “degrading vices” that were unknown until visited by Christian traders.
Imagine the sort of Christian that would led to this sort of reputation. What is currently being said by the preachers you follow on the internet about this kind of life?
How can you be extra clean and kind when meeting others?
