Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Universal Mission of the Church of Christ: A Discourse Delivered at Hanley, Staffordshire, August 4, 1884, Being the Fernley Lecture of 1884
It is impossible steadily and earnestly to contemplate this great subject without having awakened in our minds the question, Why have God's merciful designs respecting our race been so partially accomplished? It is easy to see that this question might lead on to the discussion of the most profound of all mysteries, such as the origin and prevalence of evil, the power of the creature to resist the will of the Creator, and so forth. But the purpose of the lecture being a practical one, such discussion has been avoided, and attention has been directed, under the second division, to Causes which have delayed the fulfilment of the Divine Founder's purpose.
