Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pioneer Church of the State of New York Even a hasty glance through the pages of this little work convinces me that its author can claim much merit in this contribution to the Christian literature of our early Catholic missions in this part of the country. The Latin historian, Salust, tells us that he who records and transmits to posterity the noble deeds of ancestors, confers a benefit on the commonwealth, and in a measure deserves praise, no less than those who perform these noble deeds. He considers the writing of history the highest occupation that can occupy human energy and engage the efforts of the mind. And, indeed, history is a prime fact or in the enlightenment, refinement and cultivation of the human race.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tale of a Pioneer Church All history is alie, said Sir Robert Walpole; and Landor insists that no history is ever true. But so far as, under the circumstances, lay in my power I have sought, in the following pages, to give the lie to both of these lies. I prefer to believe with Kossuth that history is the revelation of Providence; and with Shenstone, A history will live, though written ever so indifferently. And why should not this be true of the following pages, since every character in them is either a hero or heroine P If for no other reason, then at least on Massillon's principle: Every Christian is born great because he is born for heaven. It has been said that history is philosophy teach ing by example. If so, there is nothing local in the following pages, but rather a universal lesson for the benefit of all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pioneer Church: Or the Story of a New Parish in the West Many of the incidents recorded are founded upon facts within his own knowledge, and he has written with the aid Of some twenty years' experience in western life. It is his thorough conviction, that the great want Of the Church is not so much more missionaries, but more working laymen, who, like Mr. Yates, will not forget Christ and His Church in the eager strife after money and lands; but, seeking first the kingdom Of God and His righteousness, will begin their work for Him when they are planning for themselves. The story Of Grace Church, Arlington, might be repeated in hundreds of villages throughout the Valley Of the Mississippi, would the pioneer Churchmen, appreciating their responsibilities, seize each favorable Opportunity and act with promptness and vigor, instead Of casting blame for the neglect, upon the want Of a missionary at the right time. Grace Church, Kirkwood, the most flourishing country parish in the Diocese Of Missouri, was be gun within the last ten years by lay services in a pri vate parlor; and a tasteful stone church was built, and a class Of fifteen prepared for Confirmation, be fore a Rector had been called.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church of the Pilgrims, Brooklyn, New York: Its Character and Work, With the Changes Around It, During Forty Years of Pastoral Service A certain reserve has therefore characterized it, such as used to be more common in churches than it has been of late. There has never been felt here the passion for publicity which finds the church-life most exhilarating when public mention of it is frequent; to which the church appears walking victoriously on high places when the newspapers are occupied with what is said or done within it. We have preferred to live in the privacy secured to us, and to do our work, in our special sphere, without proclamation. It has never been our wont to advertise our services, except on the rarest public occasions; and the many strangers whom we have gladly welcomed to them have come from an impulse in themselves, not as attracted by notices in the papers. I imply in this no adverse criticism on a different plan. I see, indeed, that that. May have advantages. I speak only of what our own custom has been, as naturally suggested by the particular composition of the church. The families thus associated have by no means been wholly from New England, or descendants of the Puritan stock; nor have they been such, only, as had previously been accustomed to the Congregational order or worship. English, Scotch, and German families have been as pleasantly at home in the church as have been those of American origin so have families of the Holland lineage, or those springing from a Huguenot ancestry; families from the North of Ireland, or from Canada; from the West, the Middle States, or the South, as well as those from New England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mann's Chapel Country: A Chronicle of a Pioneer Community, Church, School Mann's Chapel, Vermilion County's most famous pioneer church, stands on a winding country road just east of the point where the Old Hubbard Trail bridges the North Fork of the Vermilion River south of Rossville. For over a century it has stood there while its red brick walls weathered to pink the little graveyard at its back became dotted with new stones and new names (five generations in some families), and Hubbard's Trail changed from a silent wilderness path to a noisy concrete speedway. The Mann's Chapel plot lies in an area of rich prairie farm land. Along the road, and in small woodlands nearby, there grows an amazing variety of na tive trees and plants. Small wonder the pioneers were attracted to this part Of the country; it was bountiful beyond compare. Wives of the early settlers found wild strawberries, raspberries, grapes, and elderberries for fine preserves; or wild gooseberries for plump pies. The chil dren made a game Of gathering baskets Of black walnuts, hickory and hazel nuts to crack by the winter fireplace; dug aromatic sassafras roots to be steeped into that hot steamy brew known as sassafras tea, highly regarded as a fine spring tonic. The pioneer's ax had broken the stillness which lay on the land for thou sands of years. With constant clanging it brought down wood for building or burning - oak or maple, wild cherry or ash, maybe straight-splitting hackberry to fence the clearings, perhaps a cottonwood to hollow into a little log cradle. An old Vermilion county history tells us: Wild game was plenty. You could shoot prairie chickens from the roofs of houses. Wild geese were plenty on the prairies, staying here awhile spring and fall. Deer were so plenty as hardly to attract much comment, and (here we have a sour note) wolves would hardly keep away from the dooryard. That last phrase was to be taken literally, and figuratively, too, for money was scarce in those Old days.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Presbyterian Home Missions: An Account of the Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A The work of home missions in this country has been, in large measure, identical with the work of the Church and, accordingly, the history of home missions is, in large part, the history of the Church. If it is true that the organized work of home missions, as now represented by our Board, is only a hundred years old, it is because up to the beginning of the nineteenth century, all church work was literally home missionary work. To live was to be aggressive. The older East was then a frontier region and settled pastors were forced to be missionaries or they failed. Moreover, the truth that foreign missions and home missions are one, and not two, has its proof in the primitive stages of American Christianity. The Indians were aliens though they were the aborigines, and Edwards and Brainerd and Whitman were as truly foreign missionaries, as were Speer and Loomis among the Chinese of San Francisco.

Book excerpt: Brings to life one of the most significant figures in the crusade for women's rights in America This comprehensive biography of Susan B. Anthony traces the life of a feminist icon, bringing new depth to our understanding of her influence on the course of women’s history. Beginning with her humble Quaker childhood in rural Massachusetts, taking readers through her late twenties when she left a secure teaching position to pursue activism, and ultimately tracing her evolution into a champion of women’s rights, this book offers an in-depth look at the ways Anthony’s life experiences shaped who she would become. Drawing on countless letters, diaries, and other documents, Kathleen Barry offers new interpretations of Anthony’s relationship with feminist Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and illuminating insights on Anthony’s views of men, marriage, and children. She paints a vivid picture of the political, economic, and cultural milieu of 19th-century America. And, above all, she brings a very real Susan B. Anthony to life. Here we find a powerful portrait of this most singular woman—who she was, what she felt, and how she thought. Complete with a new preface to honor the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage and Anthony’s vital role in the fight for voting rights, this thorough biography gives us essential new insight into the life and legacy of an enduring American heroine.
