Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Missionary's Life in Nyasaland I should like to add that, though I have written entirely about my own Mission and Diocese, it is not because I selfishly disregard the interests of other Missions. I am trying to present a picture of a small part of the Mission field, well aware how small it is, because I happen to know about it. I do most earnestly sympathize with every effort to spread abroad the knowledge of the love of God in Christ in every land and in every race.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of Missionaries: North America The records Of the discovery and colonization of distant lands are full of interest to every 'reader, but can seldom be studied by the thoughtful Christian without awakening in him feelings of sorrow and shame. The strange manners and customs of the aboriginal inhabitants, while, they interest us by their novelty, are too generally tokens of the unhappy condition of those who have been estranged from the knowledge and service of the true God while the dealings of the white man with the savage have been too little actuated by the principles becoming the name and profession of the servants of Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Missionary Travels in Central Africa When Mr. Arnot asked me to write an Introduction to the book he was preparing, I little thought that before I did this his toilsome journeyings would be ended, and his loving labours left to be carried on by others. But while we deeply feel the loss of this devoted servant of Christ, it is good to be able to record the fact that his course, so well and nobly run, has given place to rest with Christ, and his good fight, so valiantly fought, has ended in victory. Truly he rests from his labours, waiting for the day of resurrection glory, and his works, which follow him (rev. Xiv. Are kept as carefully as the worker, and will be found to his account, and fully rewarded in the day of Christ. The fact that our brother and friend is no longer with us makes some brief notice of his early days desirable, even as it is interesting and instructive. As in natural things one generation not only follows another but Springs from it, so it is in Spiritual things. A little of this we see now, but only when we review the pathway of the Church of God, and of those who have been His servants in the Church and in the Gospel, with the full light of God shed on it, shall we fully discern the links between one generation and another, and learn how the influence Of servants of Christ in one period has borne fruit in the next, that influence Often being unconsciously exercised. It was little thought when tidings of Dr. Livingstone's death reached us that there was a youth in Scotland being prepared by his example to follow in his steps, with the same high Object and in the same lowly Spirit. Yet so it was. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Missionary Life in Samoa, as Exhibited in the Journals of the Late George Archibald Lundie: During the Revival in Tutuila in 1840-41 The Editor of these journals had spent many hours over them, which generally were begun with mourning, but led gradually to thankfulness and praise, when the idea arose, that like the lepers regaling in the deserted camp of the Syrians, we ought not to feast alone. "We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household." The idea became more vivid, till by degrees conscience was enlisted in the cause, and the result is, that to the household of Our King this little work is humbly and affectionately offered. The mixed character of the subjects may require some apology. In attempting to strip the missionary intelligence of all the private matter, it was found to be deprived, not only of its verisimilitude, but also of much of its interest.

Download or read book A Young Missionary written by Mrs. Hannah Rasmussen and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Young Missionary: Or the Life of Bertha Rasmussen When I felt that God wanted me to write a short sketch of my daughter's life, it was done with much prayer, and with the desire that it might go out to bless the world, and with the expectation that it might stir up its readers to a closer walk with God, and if possible roll the burden of a lost world on young soldiers, and lead them to give their lives for the cause that was on the heart of our dear departed. If this is accomplished, my labors will be well rccompensed. Introduction Our acquaintance with Bertha Rasmussen, the subject of this sketch, began when she was about eleven years of age, through correspondence, in the interest of the famine children of India. A missionary spirit pervaded her letters, indicating that the spirit of God was moving on the heart of the child in behalf of the heathen. Later, at about fourteen years of age, Bertha came with her mother and brother to the Vanguard Missionary Training Home, St. Louis, Mo., and became an efficient typesetter, spending part of her time in school. She was a lovely Christian character and gave promise of great usefulness for God. A year later she went to McGee Holiness College, College Mound, Mo., and went home to glory from there. Her beautiful life can never cease to bear fruit unto God. We trust this "Memoir" will be the means of bringing many to Jesus.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Lands Afar: A Second Series of Mission Stories of Many Lands, a Book for Young People; Profusely Illustrated This region which we have thus briefly described is most interesting to us because it is so intimately connected with the missionary labors of Moffat and Livingstone and other brave and sainted men who have given their lives for the benefit of their fellow-men. Robert Moffat labored long and successfully among the Bechuanas. Livingstone went from Kuruman, which you will find on the sketch map, northward to Lake Ngami, and then on until he reached the Zambesi, discovering the Victoria Falls, probably the most marvelous of all the cataracts on the face of the earth. Later, Livingstone went still farther north ward, revealing to the world something of the horrors of the slave traffic and calling upon Christendom to send the gospel to the tribes of the interior. Upon the northern boundaries of what is now called Zambesia, Livingstone died, while upon his knees praying for Africa. Sooner than he thought has the civilized world reached out to the region which he explored, and commerce and Christian missionaries have attempted to do what he sought to have them do.

For many years previously he had been actively engaged in other fields of labour. From 1816, when he first entered on his missionary career, till 1825, he took part in the work, and shared in the exile of those faithful men who introduced the gospel among the South Sea Islands. He was then employed, first as agent, and afterwards as Foreign Secretary of the London Missionary Society, till 1841, when, his health failing, he was compelled to seek its restoration in comparative retirement.

In the beginning she frankly confessed that in setting out in life her most earnest prayer was: O God, grant me hap piness, make my life what I should like it to be. But she died early and left this testimony behind her I am so unhappy, all is wretchedness and misery; I don't know whether there is a God or not. If, as Irene Petrie and Annie Downie did, she had given her life at the beginning to God's keeping and sought the happiness of others, rather than her own, her life would have been holier and happier, and others would not have had to turn from the record with such pity and sorrow.

This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life of the Rev. John Williams, Missionary to Polynesia It is with sincere satisfaction that the author is at length enabled to present to the public the following memoir. Had the long delay which has occurred in its appearance resulted from his own negligence, the pain which he has suffered in consequence would have been a severe, if not a sufficient punishment. But of such a charge he is perfectly guiltless. For his own relief, and for the success of his undertaking, he was most anxious that the volume should have been completed at a much earlier period; but as he was far more solicitous that it should not be published in an unfinished state, he was induced to await, in the first instance, the arrival of documents from the South Sea Islands, and subsequently, the return of Mrs. Williams to this country; and the issue has satisfied him, that in resisting the strong temptation to go to press, he did well. Thus he has been enabled to enrich some parts of his volume, to complete others, and accurately to trace his admirable friend through almost every interesting scene of his diversified and instructive history. Reluctantly as the author ventures to make a personal reference, he may be pardoned for saying in his own justification, when he consented to compile the following sheets, he did so with extreme reluctance, and unfeigned self-distrust.
