Here is a submission for inclusion in your upcoming 'Missions Quotes' category. Thank you very much.

Justinian Von Welz, the great "Missionary Agitator" of the mid 17th century wrote a 3-point indictment against the churches of his day:

1) Is it right that we evangelical Christians hold the Gospel for ourselves alone, and do not seek to spread it?

2) Is it right that in all places we have so many students of theology, and do not induce them to labor elsewhere in the spiritual vineyard of Jesus Christ?

3) Is it right that we spend so much on all sorts of dress, delicacies in eating and drinking, but have thought of no means for the spread of the Gospel?
