Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anecdotes of Christian Missions Having been honored with the appointment of Secretary to the Southern Board of Missions, the compiler sought to qualify himself for the station by searching the records of past years, in quest of missionary intelligence. He was richly rewarded for this toil by the diversified facts that were found to illustrate, in ample profusion, the various features of the missionary enterprize. He was not unwilling to receive the suggestion of throwing together in this manner a body of anecdotes or illustrations of Christian missions. The following statements are not vague and unauthenticated stories, that have acquired bulk and embellishment in passing from hand to hand, till they are fitted only to amaze the credulous. They are traced in all instances to a respectable source, and are made public as facts deserving entire confidence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Christian Missions The story of missions, which reaches back to the beginning of the Christian era, and embraces almost every country in the world, cannot be told within the limits of a single volume. The task which I have ventured to undertake is of a far less ambitious character, my object being to provide the intelligent reader with an outline sketch of Christian missions which may enable him to obtain a correct perspective, but which will need to be filled in for each several country and period of history by much careful study. This volume is not intended to serve as a diction ary nor as a commentary upon missions, but as a text-book to encourage and facilitate their study. Those who have devoted the largest amount of time to such study will be most ready to forgive its imperfections and shortcomings. A well-known authority on the subject of Foreign Missions, to whom the task of writing this book was originally assigned, but who failed to respond to the invitation, wrote to its present author, You have an almost impossible task; I should absolutely quail at the work you are doing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Missionary Anecdotes: Being a Collection of Interesting Incidents Illustrative of Work and Life in the Foreign Mission Field The incidents in the missionary enterprise are necessarily many and are generally instructive. In the following pages some of the most important are given, and those especially which have within them a lesson. As will be seen on perusal, they are diverse, cover a large field, and relate to many per sons, countries, and experiences. They are gathered from far too many sources to make it possible for the editor to acknowledge each individually, and have been selected on the most catholic principle. It will be found that all the sections of the Household of Faith are represented. Each anecdote presents, as it were, a complete incident, which brings out one distinct idea, and the whole contents of the volume are calculated to give a general conception of the work, sacrifices, failures, and successes of those, who in answer to the call of their Master have gone forth into all the world to preach the Gospel to every creature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Missions When I was a student in college, a venerated missionary of the American Boardfi distin guished alike for his wisdom and piety and successful service, visiting Amherst, and relating some results of his thirty years' observations on missionary ground, told us, among other things, that we, having always lived in a Christian land, could have little conception of the vices and the degradation of the heathen. Though I hardly understood the remark at the time, and never felt its force until my own recent observation gave me some opportunity of testing its truth.

Download or read book Christian Epoch Makers written by Henry C. Vedder and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Epoch-Makers: The Story of the Great Missionary Eras in the History of Christianity The study of missions under the auspices of the various missionary Organizations is now being prosecuted by a multitude of people, young and old, with a great deal of hearty good-will and an energy most praiseworthy, but with very little system. It is certain that the result of such study will be the accumulation of a quantity of miscellaneous information about missions, but very little knowledge. The reading of some good general outline of missionary history is indispensable, if our young people would avoid a serious case of mental dyspepsia. It is not pretended that this is the only book available, but it is believed to have certain features that will make it both welcome and effective. At all events, the author cherishes the hope that whoever carefully studies Chris tian epoch-makers will find that, if he has learned less than he might have wished, he has nothing to unlearn.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Decisive Hour of Christian Missions The World Missionary Conference held in Edinburgh in June of the present year constituted in its plan, in its personnel, in the Spirit which characterized it, and in its promise, the most Significant gathering ever held in the interest of the world's evangelization. In preparation for the Conference eight representative international Commissions had been at work for over eighteen months making a scientific investigation and study of some of the most pressing and vital problems Of Christian missions. Associated With these Commis Sions as correspondents were the principal missionaries and leaders of the Church on the mission fields, as well as many of the foremost thinkers and workers of the missionary forces at home. The reports re sulting from these special investigations have afforded a very comprehensive presentation of the Tacts about the main aspects of the missionary situation. Those who have had opportunity to examine the mass of evidence gathered by the Commissions and to listen to the discussions of the reports at the Edinburgh Con ference must have been impressed with the fact that the present is the decisive hour of Christian missions. In the history Of Christianity there has never been such'a remarkable conjunction of Opportunities and crises on all the principal mission fields and of favor ing circumstances and possibilities on the home field.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters on Missions As the New Model for Christian Missions has been republished in the United States, Mr. Orme's Introduction has a greater importance, than would otherwise be attached to it. Yet it will be found interesting and instructive, and well deserving of an attentive perusal, even by those who have not read the Essay, Which it is chiefly designed to controvert. The mind of Mr. Orme was vigorous and' well regulated; and though the church of Christ has been called to lament his decease since the publication of this volume, he will long continue to speak, in Eng land and America, by means of his Life and Times of Richard Baxter.

Download or read book The Story of Church Missions Classic Reprint written by Eugene Stock and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Church Missions This little book is intended as a kind of sequel to my "Story of the Bible," and is written primarily for the same class of young readers. But as the knowledge of Missions among Church people - "children of larger growth" - is much less than their knowledge of the Bible and its sources and versions, the following chapters may perhaps be accepted also by them as an elementary and introductory account of what the Anglican Churches are doing abroad, both for their own scattered members and for the evangelization of the non-Christian world. The book professes to be no more than the briefest summary, in simple language, of the Missions of the Church of England and its sister and daughter Churches. Other Missions, Protestant, Roman, and Russo-Greek, are not ignored; they are alluded to as occasion requires, but there is no attempt to describe them.
