OK, the timing on this is a little different than I would have expected:

Why are you showing a 0% flatline when I know the phrase in my query occurred in at least one book?
We only consider ngrams that occur in at least 40 books. Otherwise the dataset would balloon in size and we wouldn't be able to offer them all.
So there you go.

I have just learned that I appear to have worshippers in distant climes, chanting in strange tongues.

"Declaration of the mission" sounds much better than "mission statement." More adventurous.
