A Sermon, Preached at the Anniversary of the Maine Missionary Society, at Portland, June 27, 1865

This volume contains the text of a sermon delivered by John Calvin Adams at the anniversary meeting of the Maine Missionary Society in Portland, June 27, 1865. The sermon reflects on the role and responsibilities of missionary work in the mid-19th century. It offers insights into the religious and social concerns of the period, particularly in the context of post-Civil War America and the ongoing efforts to spread Christianity and moral values throughout the country. Adams’s discourse provides a valuable historical record of the missionary movement and its impact on American society.
