CHAPTER XI.
THE RELATION OF THE STATION TO THE WORLD.
We have now dealt with the survey of the station and of the province or small country, but the final end of missionary work is the attainment of a world-wide purpose.

The Gospel is for the whole world, not for a fragment of it, however big.

Missionary work cannot properly be carried on in any place except by means and methods designed with a view to the whole, and missions can never be properly presented to us at home so long as we are taught to fix our eyes on small areas; because the great characteristic of missions is their vastness.

This is what is so uplifting and ennobling in the work.

Every little piece of mission work ought to be directed on principles capable of bearing the weight of the whole.
