Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Missionary Herald, Vol. 23: For the Year 1827 Great and noble as these objects are, and imperious as the claims are which have been described, there are still serious obstacles in the way of calling forth the full energies of the professed friends of God - those who have consecrated themselves and all that they possess to the service of their Lord. Among these obstacles must be mentioned the embarrass ments arising from obstructed commerce and disappointed plans of acquit. Ing or employing property. There are those, who seem to imagine, that it all their expectations of worldly prosperity are not answered, they are excused from doing any thing for the relief of sorrow and suffering; or if God has taken away part of their property, even if it be a small part, they are to be justified in applying the remainder to their own use, without any sense of responsibility to Him. But in coming to these conclusions, they err against the plainest principles of the divine law, and do great injury to their own souls. The simple question is, when distant nations call to us for the Gospel, dre we able to send it? N at whether we can send it with little self-denial, with a small effort, which shall not interfere with any of our fa verite plans of ease and personal gratification? But can we impart the means of salvation to our fellow sinners by a great and long continued efi'ort, by the most strenuous exertions, and by such an agonizing struggle, as a drowning man would make for the preservation of his life, or as the votary of human applause would make for the vindication of his character. Ls money wanted? It must be provided, if it is at the disposal of the church and its friends. Are laborers needed? They must be inquired for and diligently sought, and suitably furnished for the work, and sent forth to it, at the ear liest moment possible.

Download or read book American Missionaries in the Ottoman Empire written by Hami Inan Gümüs and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a metaphor based analysis of the texts produced by the missionaries of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in the Ottoman Empire between 1820-1898. It explores the conceptual metaphor networks inherent to the official missionary discourse. The explication of these networks uncovers how the missionaries defined and depicted themselves and what they encountered. Being a synthesis of literary studies, linguistics, cultural history, and religious studies the work analyzes the missionary narrative in its historical context by applying literary, narratological, and linguistic tools.
Download or read book Choctaws and Missionaries in Mississippi 1818 1918 written by Clara Sue Kidwell and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1997-02-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present-day Choctaw communities in central Mississippi are a tribute to the ability of the Indian people both to adapt to new situations and to find refuge against the outside world through their uniqueness. Clara Sue Kidwell, whose great-great-grandparents migrated from Mississippi to Indian Territory along the Trail of Tears in 1830, here tells the story of those Choctaws who chose not to move but to stay behind in Mississippi. As Kidwell shows, their story is closely interwoven with that of the missionaries who established the first missions in the area in 1818. While the U.S. government sought to “civilize” Indians through the agency of Christianity, many Choctaw tribal leaders in turn demanded education from Christian missionaries. The missionaries allied themselves with these leaders, mostly mixed-bloods; in so doing, the alienated themselves from the full-blood elements of the tribe and thus failed to achieve widespread Christian conversion and education. Their failure contributed to the growing arguments in Congress and by Mississippi citizens that the Choctaws should be move to the West and their territory opened to white settlement. The missionaries did establish literacy among the Choctaws, however, with ironic consequences. Although the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830 compelled the Choctaws to move west, its fourteenth article provided that those who wanted to remain in Mississippi could claim land as individuals and stay in the state as private citizens. The claims were largely denied, and those who remained were often driven from their lands by white buyers, yet the Choctaws maintained their communities by clustering around the few men who did get title to lands, by maintaining traditional customs, and by continuing to speak the Choctaw language. Now Christian missionaries offered the Indian communities a vehicle for survival rather than assimilation.
Download or read book From Revivals to Removal written by John A. Andrew, III and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the end of the Revolutionary War in 1781 and Andrew Jackson's retirement from the presidency in 1837, a generation of Americans acted out a great debate over the nature of the national character and the future political, economic, and religious course of the country. Jeremiah Evarts (1781-1831) and many others saw the debate as a battle over the soul of America. Alarmed and disturbed by the brashness of Jacksonian democracy, they feared that the still-young ideal of a stable, cohesive, deeply principled republic was under attack by the forces of individualism, liberal capitalism, expansionism, and a zealous blend of virtue and religiosity. A missionary, reformer, and activist, Jeremiah Evarts (1781-1831) was a central figure of neo-Calvinism in the early American republic. An intellectual and spiritual heir to the founding fathers and a forebear of American Victorianism, Evarts is best remembered today as the stalwart opponent of Andrew Jackson's Indian policies--specifically the removal of Cherokees from the Southeast. John A. Andrew's study of Evarts is the most comprehensive ever written. Based predominantly on readings of Evart's personal and family papers, religious periodicals, records of missionary and benevolent organizations, and government documents related to Indian affairs, it is also a portrait of the society that shaped-and was shaped by-Evart's beliefs and principles. Evarts failed to tame the powerful forces of change at work in the early republic, Evarts did manage to shape broad responses to many of them. Perhaps the truest measure of his influence is that his dream of a government based on Christian principles became a rallying cry for another generation and another cause: abolitionism.
