The London Missionary Society was founded in
1795 to spread the knowledge of Christ among
heathen and other unenlightened nations. It is en-
tirely unsectarian ; its fundamental principle being
*' not to send Presbyterianism, Independency, Epis-
copacy, or any other form of church order and
government, but the glorious Gospel of the blessed
God to the heathen, leaving it to the minds of the
persons whom God may call into the fellowship of
His Son from among them, to assume for themselves
such form of church government as to them shall
appear most agreeable to the Word of God." A large
staflf of male and female missionaries, drawn from the
various evangelical denominations at home, and a
much larger staflf of trained native ministers and
teachers, carry on its work in Africa, India, China,
Polynesia, &c. The annual meetings of the Glasgow
Auxiliary take place in the third week of November
each year.
