Excerpt from Proceedings of the General Convention of the Baptist Denomination in the United States, at Their First Triennial Meeting, Held in Philadelphia, From the 7th to the 14th of May, 1817: Together With the Third Annual Report of the Baptist Board of Foreign Missions for the United States The Board are deeply convinced Of the propriety of immediate attention to the state of the Indians of our own country. Habits Of civilization among them will necessarily be connected with the reception of the Gospel. They. Are heathen which, from their proximity, have a special claim upon your pious zeal. It is believed that suitable persons can be obtained to go among them. Large fields also are to be found, especially in the western sections of our country, where the truths of the Gospel are rarely, if ever, proclaimed. Several very interesting documents have been received from India, which the Board have the pleasure Of presenting you. They rejoice that the cause of God is evidently increasing in the earth, and trust the time is not remote when the kingdoms shall become the Lord's.
