Excerpt from The Foreign Missionary Chronicle, 1837, Vol. 5: Containing a Particular Account of the Proceedings of the Presbyterian Foreign Missionary Society, and a General View of the Transactions of Other Similar Institutions Now, although he is ascended up on high, and his name is exalted above every name in heaven and in earth, his cause is as dear to his heart - the glory of God is as dear to him, and the salvation of a dyin g world is as dear to him, as they were when prostrate in the garden of Gethsemane, or when he bowed his head upon the cross. How dear these were to him then, may be found in the inspired record. Earnest ly and thrice he prayed, that if it were possi ble the bitter cup might pass from him. This was not possible, unless, at that awful moment, he had given up the work of man's redemption. But in this mighty work, he yielded not, he faltered not. For the joy that was set before him he endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
