Crawford, M.A., Missionary of the Irish Presbyterian Church Doubtless the letters of many others of our Missionaries tell of equally or more marvellous tales of God's grace, and I earnes wish that more news of the splendid work being done by our Missionaries in India and China could be made accessible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eleven Months to Freedom recounts the daring World War I escape of German midshipman Erich Killinger. Falsely accused of bombing a railway station after crashing his plane at sea, he was sentenced to life in the Sakhalin coal mines. Shipped by rail with several other POWs across Russia, Killinger was determined to return home. In order to do this, though, he needed to jump from the train, cross Siberia, and make it to a German-run escape pipeline in China—all while braving bandits, subzero temperatures, threats of starvation, the risk of capture by Japanese and Russian troops, and possible internment by the Chinese. Once he made it to China, Killinger used money and fake identity papers to survive along the 800 miles to Shanghai. Improbably playing the role of a dashing French blade, Killinger lived the high life on one ship, then later served as a humble deckhand on another. Risking discovery by the British, he made a bold and risky move as his final destination neared.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Call of the East: Sketches From the History of the Irish Mission to Manchuria, 1869-1919 On the occasion of the jubilee of the Manchuria Mission of the Irish Presbyterian Church, and at the suggestion of the Conveners of the Foreign Mission, these sketches have been put together, largely from the pages of The Missionary Herald and, to some extent, from Woman's Work. The book is intended for the members of the Young People's Guild and for general reading, its aim being to present a picture, however incomplete, of certain outstanding events of the history, and some principal phases of the work, of the last fifty years. While, in the main, the arrangement followed is in accordance with chronological order, nevertheless each chapter is meant to be complete in itself, a plan which should be of service for purposes of study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of Rev. Carstairs Douglas: Missionary of the Presbyterian Church of England at Amoy, China, 1877 The following extract from one of his letters, dated Amoy, 22 December, i869, gives an example of these. I am quite up to my usual strength, I just got back last night from my first two-week country visit of the winter, having been away thirteen days at Anhai, kwan-kio, and Chin-chew I visited also a new place, where a station is growing up, called Siong-si, at the mouth of the Chin-chew river. My long walks on this journey have been as follows Friday 20 miles, Saturday 20 miles, Wednesday 27 miles, Thursday 17 miles, Friday 9 miles, Saturday 37 miles, Tuesday 20 miles. The 37'14 life: value for discipline and training. A brother missionary writes, He was famous for the long journeys he used to perform on foot in his missionary tours. If He had a very intimate acquaintance with all the best walks among the rugged Amoy hills, and it was a special delight to him, when he could get any of the younger missionaries to join him, to ramble over them, and through their quiet valleys. Another writes, One of the most delightful features in his missionary character was his exceeding helpfulness towards younger labourers. Lhe had ever a cheery and encouraging word for them, delighted to furnish them with books, to explain difficulties and answer questions, and would rouse them up to physical exercise when they were inclined to over study. Above all, his own example was a daily stimulus to diligence, perseverance, method, and con centration in the work of a missionary.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XII Asceticism NOT long ago there was a warm discussion on the luxury of missionaries in India whose incomes were at or under 300 per annum. They were belittled as destitute of the true missionary spirit which was manifested by the man who lived in a garret, under a hot roof, who went out barefoot in the dusty street, and whose head was protected from the burning sun only by a handkerchief. Asceticism appeals with peculiar force as a virtue to those who are surrounded by a superabundance of the good things of this life, in which they find their chief enjoyment, and the voluntary renunciation of which seems to them the highest form of self-denial. This respect is manifested not to the work done, but to the voluntary privations undergone by the ascetic. It is of a piece with the value attached by some natures to ritualistic practices. Both forms of respect have the common origin of ignorance of the true nature of Christian principles, and of the consequent importance attached to externals, whether in eating, drinking, or ceremonial. As not a few Christian people are ever readyto applaud what appears to be self-denial in the way of voluntary privation; and especially as many believe that the ascetic makes the ideal missionary, the subject is worthy of examination. Affecting the missionary there are four forms of asceticism--I. Asceticism proper, or abstention from ordinary food; II. Celibacy; III. Self-Exile; IV. Self-Sacrifice. I. ASCETICISM This term is usually applied to a moderation in food and drink approaching to or merging in abstemiousness or even abstention. It originated with the Greek athletes, who knew, as their modern representatives know, the necessity of moderation in all things when in training for athletic...
