The Vision
William Carey, a shoemaker's apprentice, is pictured in the living room of his small cottage in Piddington, Northamptonshire. He is reading Journal of Captain Cook's Last Voyage which thrilled him and showed him a world of people in spiritual darkness, intensifying his conviction that the words of Matthew 28:19-20 were still binding on all Christians. We have the 1784 edition of the 4 volumes of James Cook's Voyages. They have been conserved and are available for inspection.
