for carrying the gospel of Christ &c
the heather. Governor tioldsborough
said:
my first duty is to thank you for
te privilege and honor Of welcoming
this exposition and pageant to Mary
land and the city of Baltimore. |
beg you to believe that the apprecia-
tion of that honor is quickened by
the knowledge of the character of
the undertaking committed to your
charge. the laborious and unselfish
work that you have done, and will do.
the resulting good to mankind here to
be wrought and the help that is sure
to follow and be bestowed upon those
people of both our own and far off
lands who have yet to learn of God
and His Son crucified.
"This movement, as | understand
it, is to publish glad tidings, and to
have the people of all the world
catch the spirit of help 90 others.
Those of us living in this state, in
deed, in the nation, have been won
drously blessed and of these blessings
we must give to others. The work
before US is of great magnitude and
we must stand together and march to-
gether if we are to help in bringing
this world to the feet of God.
"Spurgeon once said that he never
bothered about whether or MT the
heather could be saved without a
knowledge of the gospel, since all
that concerned aim was whether or
not Christians could be saved unless
they tried to send the gospel to
them when the command was so
plain. So that is the duty which is
in front OF us; that is the task which
we are here it perform, and may it
be done with much Willingness, good
cheer and unmeasured happiness.
"But the best of the fruits of this
exposition, of this great work here to
be done, is love, and paraphrasiDg

self not at all, perishes. How could
be have a jubilee Tor exposition)
merely of speeches, and feasting anj
music7'
"There is so much more than this
to do. We all know how dear civil
liberty is to the people of many ma
tions, and how jsalously they guard
such cherished possessions. So must
this exposition, the people here gath
cred, and to be gathered, procl aim
liberty to those captives. who have
not yet come into His kingdom.
How shall this be done7 BY prayer,
by sacrifice, by deeds, and by gifts.
"A missionary has said that the
story of Christianizing one of the
old countries across the seas is one
thousand years long, and yet many
people are discouraged because the
whole heather world has not been
brought to Christ after less than 9
century of modern missionary
effort.
Therefore, 1 beseech all men
never to say that whilst they believe
in home missions, they do not in for
eign missions. My friends, again
bid you all hearty welcome to our
State"
Governor Goldsborough was g:eet-
