Examples

“I felt that it was almost as useless for Europeans to go out amongst the tribes of monkeys and spend their lives trying to bring them up to such a level of intelligence as is implied in the appreciation of the Christian religion, as for the Limanorans to apostolise amongst mankind, and struggle to drag them up to the stage of progress these islanders had reached.”
“The evangelical independence with which the official arrangements of the Apostolic Church are represented, according to their very differing value for the kingdom of God, and which are declared not to be a 'binding law,' stands in edifying contrast with the new Popish zeal of many Protestant contemporaries who seek to apostolise the head and hair, but not the flesh and blood of Christianity.”
