Book excerpt: Excerpt from Periodical Accounts Relating to the Missions of the Church of the United Brethren, Established Among the Heathen, Vol. 1 No Brother is ever compelled or even perfuaded to go as a 'millionary among the Heathen; nor has any one, in the pall: or prefent times, been employed in the fervice of the Millions, who did not with full convietion of heart ardently delire it, before ever called by the Bilhops or Elders of the Church, who always enquire ltrictly into the motive of luch a delire. When, therefore, any Member of the Brethren's Church finds an impulfe in his heart to ferve the' Lord among the Heathen, he makes khown his wilh to the Elders of the Church; and if thele are convinced of the fincerity of his motives, he is confidered as a candidate, and, whenever Millionaries are wanted, called forth to the labor; but even then never compelled to accept of the call.
