Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Church Missions This little book is intended as a kind of sequel to my "Story of the Bible," and is written primarily for the same class of young readers. But as the knowledge of Missions among Church people - "children of larger growth" - is much less than their knowledge of the Bible and its sources and versions, the following chapters may perhaps be accepted also by them as an elementary and introductory account of what the Anglican Churches are doing abroad, both for their own scattered members and for the evangelization of the non-Christian world. The book professes to be no more than the briefest summary, in simple language, of the Missions of the Church of England and its sister and daughter Churches. Other Missions, Protestant, Roman, and Russo-Greek, are not ignored; they are alluded to as occasion requires, but there is no attempt to describe them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church Missions This is the symbolizing of a real Church Mission. The giant upon whose shoulders is seated the Infant Saviour is the nation to whom, for the time, Christ has committed the office of evangelizing the world. It is a heavy duty, and the bearer bends under the weight of it; but in the act of performing it, he has acquired the strength to perform it. His proportions are already gigantic; he out-tops by the head and shoulders all the figures that are around him his limbs seem capable of sustaining far more than the weight they carry; and the fir tree, uprooted from where it grew beside his path - that is to say, the natural advantages which present them selves in the very path of his duty - supports his steps; for, be it observed, he is not taking a devious or arbitrary course, but follow ing the beaten path - the path marked out to him by the Eternal Wisdom, and direct Revelation of God. The remainder of the picture explains itself; it is the natural fruit of his labors. He carries the true Christ, and high and low, rich and poor, young and old, kings and subjects, priests and shep herds, alike blessed by the outstretched Hand, crowd after the giant that bears it. Willingly and cheerfully they swell his retinue, and contribute to his earthly pomp and glory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Concise History of Missions Classic Reprint written by Edwin Munsell Bliss and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Concise History of Missions The history of missions is the history of the extension of Christianity. It is thus a depart ment of general church history, and cannot be fully understood except as its relations to other departments are kept in mind. The progress of the Church has been by no means uniform. There have been periods of special missionary activity, others in which doctrinal statement, ecclesiastical organization, the consolidation and strengthening of church life, have absorbed attention. Each, however, has had its in uence on all the others, and the work as a whole has a unity which can only be realized as one takes a survey of the whole field. Such a survey it is the purpose of this book to give. There is no detailed statement of different epochs or of the various phases Of mission work. The aim is rather to indicate the general char acter of the epochs, show the mutual relation and in uence of the phases, and thus make it some what easier to place correctly the details as we come across them elsewhere. To use the phrase of one who has himself done much to help in the general knowledge of missions, Mr. John R. Mott, it lays the rails that connect the remoter sections and make passage from one to another possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Great First Work of the Church Missions Classic Reprint written by Wilbur Brenner Stover and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great First-Work of the Church, Missions The author of this little volume has given us a great truth in its title - "The Great First-Work of the Church Is Missions." While most of us may not need anything further to convince us of this truth, we are all much in need of that more important thing - the dynamic of conviction that expresses this truth in the reality of service. If these chapters help to that end in any one of us, they will be fully worth while. The writer of this book needs no introduction in his own denomination. While his twenty-eight years in the mission work of western India; the faith and courage that led him to be the first to answer the call to pagan lands in the Church of the Brethren; his desire to maintain habits of study and investigation, which was expressed in his receiving a degree from Northwestern University, where he and his son Emmert spent a year in the graduate school, easily entitle W. B. Stover to honor and titles that would be the envy of most of us, yet he is best known and happiest as Bro. Stover, a friend of men, and a servant of the Lord. In these few chapters he has written well. He has called our attention to the more important things in missions - the things which he has learned and exemplified in his successful missionary service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Christian Missions The story of missions, which reaches back to the beginning of the Christian era, and embraces almost every country in the world, cannot be told within the limits of a single volume. The task which I have ventured to undertake is of a far less ambitious character, my object being to provide the intelligent reader with an outline sketch of Christian missions which may enable him to obtain a correct perspective, but which will need to be filled in for each several country and period of history by much careful study. This volume is not intended to serve as a diction ary nor as a commentary upon missions, but as a text-book to encourage and facilitate their study. Those who have devoted the largest amount of time to such study will be most ready to forgive its imperfections and shortcomings. A well-known authority on the subject of Foreign Missions, to whom the task of writing this book was originally assigned, but who failed to respond to the invitation, wrote to its present author, You have an almost impossible task; I should absolutely quail at the work you are doing.

Mrs. Lewars has met this need and answered this call with The Story of Lutheran Missions. It is fitting that this book should make its appearance in the Quadri centennial Year of the Reformation and that it should be the first book issued by the first co-operative Litera ture Committee of the Woman's Nlissionary Societies of the Lutheran Church, representing the General Synod, the General Council, and the United Synod in the South.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Decisive Hour of Christian Missions The World Missionary Conference held in Edinburgh in June of the present year constituted in its plan, in its personnel, in the Spirit which characterized it, and in its promise, the most Significant gathering ever held in the interest of the world's evangelization. In preparation for the Conference eight representative international Commissions had been at work for over eighteen months making a scientific investigation and study of some of the most pressing and vital problems Of Christian missions. Associated With these Commis Sions as correspondents were the principal missionaries and leaders of the Church on the mission fields, as well as many of the foremost thinkers and workers of the missionary forces at home. The reports re sulting from these special investigations have afforded a very comprehensive presentation of the Tacts about the main aspects of the missionary situation. Those who have had opportunity to examine the mass of evidence gathered by the Commissions and to listen to the discussions of the reports at the Edinburgh Con ference must have been impressed with the fact that the present is the decisive hour of Christian missions.

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.
