Book excerpt: Excerpt from Missionary Pathfinders: Presbyterian Laborers at Home and Abroad Interest in Mission Study ought to be maintained. To keep it constantly aroused suitable provision must be made for it. The first requisite is a text book. What more helpful or fascinating course of study could be provided than that which is furnished by these brief biographies? These life stories tell of heroic, self-denying services rendered in this country and in lands afar. The young people who read them should surely feel that they are "the heirs of as noble deeds as were ever done neath the all-seeing sun"; that they should make the most of the heritage, and that they should prove themselves worthy successors of those noble souls whose characters are here portrayed. The aims of the Committee when selecting subjects for treatment were to deal with each outstanding feature of our Church's work; and to pass under review the various fields in which our Church is laboring. These aims are, at least, measurably realized in the following pages. Possibly another committee would have selected different subjects, but it is only fair to say that the subjects herein treated were chosen after earnest and careful deliberation.

Download or read book The Book of Missionary Heroes written by Basil Mathews and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True stories of the thrilling adventures and daring deeds of the great heroes of sea and land who have faced perils among wild beasts and wilder men to tell of the love of God. Through the centuries, the world has been witness to an unbroken trail of heroes--men and women who braved privation, danger, and death to bring the light of Jesus Christ to the darkest corners of the earth. Some are well known, others long forgotten, but all belong to the same indomitable band of torch-bearers. Join a few of these heroes as they face cannibals, battle slave traders, and care for sick enemies, always with one mission at the forefront--to serve their Lord and bring others into His light. "No field of experience offers greater possibilities for stories of heroism and adventure than the lives of pioneer missionaries. Mr. Mathews is a master narrator as his lives of Livingstone and Paul clearly prove. Here he has given us stories of early pioneers such as Wilfred of Sussex and Francis of Assisi; adventurers in the South Seas, like John Williams and Patteson; African pathmakers like George Grenfell and Alexander Mackay; apostles to Moslems like Raymond Lull, Henry Martyn and Archbald Forder. There are also stories of native Christian converts like Kapiolani of Hawaii, Khama of Africa, and Abdallah, the Moslem boy. These true stories are especially good reading for boys and give excellent material for teachers of boys and girls." -The Missionary Review, Volume 45, January, 1922 "In this book Mr. Mathews presents the Missionary Movement in action. Starting with Paul, the lives of a number of hero missionaries 'are told as yarns to boys and girls around a camp fire.' The volume is divided into four books, taking up in turn, The Pioneers, The Island Adventurers, The Pathfinder of Africa and Heroines and Heroes of Plateau and Desert. "Although written for boys and girls, it provides an excellent insight for an older person into the lives of twenty-five men and women who have been faithful. Every Student Volunteer should gain a greater consciousness of the bigness of his task, and every non-volunteer's sympathy for the missionary cause should be warmed after reading this book."

Excerpt: ... xiii wanted: A college Let a man contend to the uttermost For his life's set prize, be it what it will. The thing wanted, soon or late, will be supplied.--Robert Browning. "F one thing I am certain, the College shall be I I built if the Lord prolong my life another ten years, though the straw for the bricks may have to be gathered one by one from the furrows of the field." December, 1873. In this sentence penned by Dr. Hogg with deep feeling eighteen months after his return from furlough we find the key-note of a new period, during which the inadequacy of the Academy's new building, the inadequacy of its teaching staff, and the inadequacy of the mission force in the Upper Country, pressed on his heart with unceasing and painful force as he sought to cope with the bewildering claims to which growing success gave birth. To this period the work of 1872-73 is but as the tuning up of an orchestra. In Dr. Hogg's absence the instruments had lost tone. By no deft rearrangement of forces can a body of missionaries too small for its tasks supply a temporary vacancy in such a way that no loss shall accrue to the work. In Dr. Hogg's absence the church at Assiut had changed hands four times, and being left finally to its own resources, dissensions had sprung up revising the church 185 among its members, who, accustomed to high-class fare, grew critical of leaders of their own race no more advanced than themselves. The nightly meeting had dwindled almost to nothing, and the volunteers for work in the villages contented themselves with mild efforts nearer home, meeting to enjoy their own spiritual possessions rather than to share them with those who lacked. Mutual reconciliations, a nourishing but limited diet, and abundance of exercise were the...
