Download or read book Women and Missions written by Sara Estelle Haskin and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women and Missions: In the Methodist Episcopal Church, South In the following pages the author has set fourth merely the outstanding facts in the history of the organized woman's missionary work in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The great underlying purpose, however, has been to state these facts in such a way that they themselves will tell the story of God's marvelous leading through the years. The vision of service came first to a small group of women without means, without experience, and with no authorized channel through which to work; but in less than fifty years their prayers and their small efforts had resulted in the enlistment of over two hundred thousand women and children in the auxiliaries of the Woman's Missionary Society. The appeal of one small school in China and the cry of distress sent out in behalf of the poorly paid preachers on the frontier resulted in an organization which in 1920 was conducting well-equipped schools and social-evangelistic centers in the homeland and in seven foreign mission fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Early Methodism in Indiana: Including Sketches of Various Prominent Ministers, Together With Narratives of Women Eminent for Piety, Poetry and Song The heroic age of the Methodist Episcopal Church is not ended. The fire still glows on her altars; zeal still flames in her heart. The men who traveled the primeval forests of the West by blazed trees, forded or swam, as occasion required, the numerous and unbridged streams, who often slept under the friendly woods, faring hard and working harder - these heroes of a rough time were the fathers of noble sons. If the sires were heroic, their children are not cowardly. If the fathers laid the foundations, their sons rear the superstructure. The sublime purpose which inaugurated the Methodistic movement still pushes the conquering march of her sacramental host. Her theology maintains its integrity; her worship retains its simplicity; her methods are more direct and efficient than those of any other church; her book of discipline makes no concession to popular sin. She stands as unshaken and unaltered among the opinions and customs of these changeful times as Gibraltar in the midst of the changeful waters.

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifth Annual Report of the Board of Managers of the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, for the Year 1885-86 To-day, we have assembled here to extend a cordial greeting to this noble band of eminent Christian ladies, and to welcome them to our homes, to our beautiful house of worship, and to our city, which we think in healthful location and moral status will compare favorably with any city of its size. With open arms and hearts full of love, we give you a happy, loving welcome, trusting that this meeting of Christian ladies will serve to inspire us with new zeal, and thus help us to devise plans that will be the means of bringing increased vigor and usefulness into this branch of Christian work. Judging from the past I feel assured of a grand, brilliant future for this organization. I trust there will be no withered hands in this Society. In the Word of God we are told that our Savior healed the man with a withered hand, and it only speaks of this one man that was thus healed. I have no doubt that there were more people at that time with the same affliction, and I often wonder how many withered hands could be found in our Christian Churches at the present day - hands that hang lifeless by their owner's side, and find nothing to do for the Master. In the mission ary field there is something for every Christian to do. We can not all go as missionaries to foreign lands, but we can help those that go and in this Home Missionary Society we can do a grand, noble work here in our own country, among the foreign people that are flooding our shores. I am fully impressed that the work of this Society in the future will be very largely with the foreign population in our large towns and cities, where thousands of people live that are never seen in the Churches. A pressing need to-day is for Christian workers among these neglected classes of people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Blood Done Sign My Name written by Timothy B. Tyson and published by Crown. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “riveting”* true story of the fiery summer of 1970, which would forever transform the town of Oxford, North Carolina—a classic portrait of the fight for civil rights in the tradition of To Kill a Mockingbird *Chicago Tribune On May 11, 1970, Henry Marrow, a twenty-three-year-old black veteran, walked into a crossroads store owned by Robert Teel and came out running. Teel and two of his sons chased and beat Marrow, then killed him in public as he pleaded for his life. Like many small Southern towns, Oxford had barely been touched by the civil rights movement. But in the wake of the killing, young African Americans took to the streets. While lawyers battled in the courthouse, the Klan raged in the shadows and black Vietnam veterans torched the town’s tobacco warehouses. Tyson’s father, the pastor of Oxford’s all-white Methodist church, urged the town to come to terms with its bloody racial history. In the end, however, the Tyson family was forced to move away. Tim Tyson’s gripping narrative brings gritty blues truth and soaring gospel vision to a shocking episode of our history. FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD “If you want to read only one book to understand the uniquely American struggle for racial equality and the swirls of emotion around it, this is it.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel “Blood Done Sign My Name is a most important book and one of the most powerful meditations on race in America that I have ever read.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer “Pulses with vital paradox . . . It’s a detached dissertation, a damning dark-night-of-the-white-soul, and a ripping yarn, all united by Tyson’s powerful voice, a brainy, booming Bubba profundo.”—Entertainment Weekly “Engaging and frequently stunning.”—San Diego Union-Tribune
Download or read book Canadian Methodist Women 1766 1925 written by Marilyn Färdig Whiteley and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadian Methodist women, like women of all religious traditions, have expressed their faith in accordance with their denominational heritage. Canadian Methodist Women, 1766-1925: Marys, Marthas, Mothers in Israel analyzes the spiritual life and the varied activities of women whose faith helped shape the life of the Methodist Church and of Canadian society from the latter half of the eighteenth century until church union in 1925. Based on extensive readings of periodicals, biographies, autobiographies, and the records of many women’s groups across Canada, as well as early histories of Methodism, Marilyn Färdig Whiteley tells the story of ordinary women who provided hospitality for itinerant preachers, taught Sunday school, played the melodeon, selected and supported women missionaries, and taught sewing to immigrant girls, thus expressing their faith according to their opportunities. In performing these tasks they sometimes expanded women’s roles well beyond their initial boundaries. Focusing on religious practices, Canadian Methodist Women, 1766-1925 provides a broad perspective on the Methodist movement that helped shape nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Canadian society. The use and interpretation of many new or little-used sources will interest those wishing to learn more about the history of women in religion and in Canadian society.
Download or read book Hiroshima written by John Hersey and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hiroshima is the story of six people—a clerk, a widowed seamstress, a physician, a Methodist minister, a young surgeon, and a German Catholic priest—who lived through the greatest single manmade disaster in history. In vivid and indelible prose, Pulitzer Prize–winner John Hersey traces the stories of these half-dozen individuals from 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, when Hiroshima was destroyed by the first atomic bomb ever dropped on a city, through the hours and days that followed. Almost four decades after the original publication of this celebrated book, Hersey went back to Hiroshima in search of the people whose stories he had told, and his account of what he discovered is now the eloquent and moving final chapter of Hiroshima.
