Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Missionaries of the Reformed Church The gulf stream of modern Christianity is Christian missions. On and on, while the chilling winds from the desolate shores of doubt vex and rock the whole sea of Christian truth, this influence keeps steadily flowing towards the frozen zones of heathenism. Already these Arctic shores of desolation and chill begin to shoot forth such verdure as grows upon the banks of the River of Life. Because of the recent revival of missionary activity in the Reformed Church we are in danger of forgetting that this candle never went out. There were times when it was burning low, but it was burning. Though its shining was in one of the lower windows of the temple, yet its light was none the less steady; and the highway along which it shone was so bright that no man needed to stumble therein if he were searching for the Light of Life.

Download or read book Pioneer Missionaries of the Church Classic Reprint written by Charles C. Creegan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneer Missionaries of the Church The cordial reception which has been given in England, as well as America, to Great Mission aries, which was issued several years ago, has led to the preparation of this Volume. Since the noble men whose life story is briefly told in these twenty six sketches were nearly all of them founders of missions, if not makers of empires, the title Pio neer Missionaries Seems the only one which clearly defines the scope of the book. If the writer had been so inclined, the limits of space would have prevented any embellishment. It has not been an easy task to compress the main fea tures of the biography of a great man of whom the world is not worthy into a single Chapter, when one longs for two or three hundred pages to tell the thrilling story of toil and sacrifice and triumph. Brief as are these sketches, it is hoped they may be found to give the leading facts in the career of each of these missionary heroes, and that not a few of those who read the book, especially among the stu dents in our colleges, may be inspired to follow in their train.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Missionaries: A Series of Biographies The Author, some few years since, delivered in Edinburgh, Manchester, and Liverpool, a lecture bearing the title of this volume, containing six short biographical notices of eminent missionaries. A wish was then expressed by many who heard the lecture, and has often been repeated since, that those notices should be enlarged and others added; and the present volume is the result of those suggestions. While not ignorant that the labours of primitive missionaries present a tempting subject for narration, the Author has restricted himself to the toils of modern evangelists, both because this gives greater unity to his notices, and because even this field is more than ample enough for one volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Missionary Studies for the Sunday School, Second Series: Great Missionaries to the Red Men; Great Missionaries in the Dark Continent Long before our forefathers came to this country, there lived here men of quite a different race. They were not white, but of a dark bronze color, with high cheek-bones and straight hair as black as a raven. By Columbus, who discovered America, they were called Indians because when he landed here he thought that he had reached India. Their traits of bravery, cunning and endurance are too well known to need comment, and in some cases they have proved themselves also treacherous and revengeful. One marked trait is their keenness of observation. An Indian left his lodge for several days. On his return, some deer meat which he had left hanging on a tree was gone. Instead of asking questions of his neighbors at first, he just used his eyes and then, after a time, went to a wigwam and asked: "Did you see a little old white man with a short gun?" "Did he have a small dog with a short tail?" "Yes," was the reply, "he and his dog took the trail going south."

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.

Download or read book With Our Missionaries in China Classic Reprint written by Mrs. Emma Anderson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With Our Missionaries in China Since the days when those early apostolic heralds of the glad tidings brought home to the churches of Antioch and Jerusalem the reports of their conquests among the heathen, the mission story has never failed to enrich the spiritual life of the church, and to inspire God's children to respond to His call for workers. Missionary information is necessary to missionary inspiration. Our young people, to whom the calls from the regions beyond come with special force to day, need.to lift up their eyes and look on the fields white already to harvest. They need to study the great mission fields of the world, and to know how God is using persons like themselves to bring the message of His grace into the lives of those who sit in darkness. God has wonderfully blessed the heralds of the ad vent message ih China since they entered that great country, only a few years ago. This book is not an attempt to tell the story of this work. It is merely a series of typical pen sketches, which will give the reader a concrete idea of our missionaries at work. We shall see their surroundings, understand their methods, appreciate their perils, and enter into their joy of seeing souls turned from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God.

Download or read book Classic Texts in Mission and World Christianity written by Norman E. Thomas and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic Texts in Mission & World Christianity, a unique sourcebook on the history and mission of the church. Nearly two hundred selections covering the two millennia of the Christian era are represented, including both classic and contemporary voices of persons in mission - women and men, from Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe - and key texts for understanding the mission of Christ, the vocation of the church, and the nature of Christianity. Following the outline of David Bosch's monumental Transforming Mission, Classic Texts offers its readers the full texts cited throughout that best-seller, as well as dozens of additional primary sources from every era and every part of the world. From the seventh century abbess Bertilla of Chelles (who directed both women and men missionaries in England) to the Nestorian Monument detailing struggles with issues of contextualization in 8th century China, to David Livingstone's oft-cited espousal of civilization, commerce, and Christianity (seldom quoted in its entirety), Classic Texts provides a depth and breadth of resources unparalleled elsewhere.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of a Missionary in the Great West When he could barely walk, I took him to the cathedral one afternoon when I went back for something I had left: after morning service. I left him down in the nave by the door, while I walked up to the chancel. I was busied there for a few moments, and when I turned to go out, he had advanced half-way up the middle aisle, and was standing where the declining sun, streaming through the great painted west window, threw a golden light around his curly head. And a tiny little oh jcet he was in that great, quiet church. It was very still. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of the Mission Field To some who may read these pages, the very names of some of my Missionary Heroes will be strange. If so, I rejoice in giving a wider fame to men who deserve to be better known. Other names, however, will be missed which seem equally deserv ing of high memorial; but it must be remembered that this is not a history of all Missionary Heroes, but a selection of the most typical amongst them, and of those, moreover, who were sundered far from each other not only by time, but by distinctive peculiarities of work, and position, and character. It will be seen, moreover, that one or two names have been introduced which some might think had better have been omitted, but in my judgment they were necessary to the completion of my plan.

This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Counsel to New Missionaries From Older Missionaries of the Presbyterian Church This is a book not of missionary policy but of personal counsel. All Of its chapters were written bv experienced missionaries. There is some inevi table duplication, but very little. The various chapters deal in the main with distinct questions and represent such a wide range of experience that even where the same questions are considered, it is with fresh suggestiveness. Each chapter is shaped, of course, by the conditions of the field in which its writer has worked, but this enriches the value of the whole. N O attempt has been made to present an exhaust ive book of counsel, but the Board has desired to place at the disposal of new missionaries some of the invaluable experience of men and women who know thoroughly whereof they speak, with the hope and prayer that the young men and women now going out to the field may be helped in this way to be better, happier and more fruitful serv ants Oi Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Download or read book Our Heroes Vol 2 written by William Marion Weekley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Heroes, Vol. 2: Or United Brethren Home Missionaries It has not been an easy task to gather the material for these biographies. The standard histories of the church have but little to say about these remarkable men, and in the whole range of periodical literature, we find a strange dearth of reference to them. So that the larger part of the material composing these chapters is new, having been gathered from other and various sources. Moreover, it has not been an easy task to compress the main features of the biography of a great man of whom the world is not worthy, into a single chapter, when one longs for two or three hundred pages to tell the thrilling story of toil and sacrifice and triumph, We hope, however, that the chapters may be found to give the leading facts in the career of each of these missionary heroes, and that not a few of those who read the book may be inspired to follow in their train. These chapters record no deeds of men whom the world calls great; they record the great deeds of men whom God counts as heroes. The reader will search in vain in the early records of United Brethrenism for any names that are well-known in the annals of the Church at large. The denomination was founded by humble pioneer preachers, men who were willing to serve in obscurity, if through their efforts the souls of men might be saved, and the kingdom of God advanced even in the wilderness. And to these brave men, who cut their way through the forests, who forded dangerous streams, who endured much hard ship and privation, not only our denomination, but the Nation as well, owes a great debt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Children's Missionary Story-Sermons It was Victor Hugo who said that the Eighteenth Century distinguished itself by the discovery of Man, but the glory of the Nineteenth Century was the discovery of Woman. Were he among us to-day he would complete his interpretation of history by saying that the Twentieth Century belongs to the Child. This is the Children's Century. Anything, therefore, that will help the children find their place in the coming work of the world is worth while, and what work can compare with that of winning the world for Christ? It was to interest children, first in the wonderful lives of the missionaries themselves, and then in their great work - the greatest work in the world - that these Story-Sermons were written. They grew out of a felt need in my own church work. Leaders of Mission Bands and Lightbearer Circles and teachers of Sunday-school classes were at a loss to discover a method of approach to the missionary problem.
