| | The missionary brethren are watching with wise and jealous care over the purity, the discipline, and the spiritual independence of the Native churches; and a UNION of those churches for mutual aid has been inaugurated during the year. | | | It has from the first been a settled rule with the Society's missionaries that catechists and preachers should be men of known and proved piety; and that all candidates for theological classes shall be members of the church. | | | In a few of the older Missions of the Society, the duty of instructing the heathen has been almost complete; the population are nominally Christian, and in most of these communities there is a strong nucleus of spiritual life in a valuable body of Church members. |

| | The London Missionary Society |
| | The Society began to acquire more lands for the building of churches and schools and often was able to acquire them at confessional rates on account of being a religious body and this led to the expansion of their scope of influence. | | | The stated aim and purpose of this Society was to spread the knowledge of Christ throughout the world and to bring Christian principles to the heathen nations. | | | As they began to interact with the natives and teach them their own religious beliefs, they also taught them their own English ways and as a result, many of the natives began to identify closely with the missionaries and to desire to accept their culture and be a part of their society. |
