Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of the Early Church These graphic sketches of the "Heroes of the Early Church" are the latest series penned by the distinguished author, whom Spurgeon fittingly called "The Prince of Children's Preachers." The sketches are in many respects the best work of the gifted man. As he ripened in saintship for heaven, his literary style became even more rich with the aroma of the gospel, and so more forcible, simple and crisp than in his earlier writings. The articles were originally prepared for The Youth's World, and were issued in that periodical. The revision and preparation of them for publication in this form has been an easy and delightful task. Indeed, so carefully did Dr. Newton prepare his copy for the press that little was required to be done beyond the omission of some repetitions of statement, necessarily incident to serial articles in a periodical. Dr. Newton had planned another series on the "Heroes of the Modern Church," to follow these, but was compelled by ill health to give up writing them. Yet he continued to work so diligently that the last article from his pen was written for the number of The Youth's World which appeared the month after his death.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Studies of the Heroes of the Early Church If the heroic element lent a charm to the study of Old Testament characters, it must give an added interest to the study of these makers of the early Church, whose every-day life was so full of heroism for the cross of Christ, and who, with one exception, gave his life for the Master. It would have been interesting to carry out the plan of the Character Studies, as in the first book of the series; but, in order to make the setting clear, it has been necessary to con fine this book to sketches. Rather than stories, that in these studies of the heroes we might also give the history of the Apostolic Church.

This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Studies of Old Testament Heroes The world will never cease to love the heroic, whether it is found xin man or woman, boy or girl. Even better is the fact that people are rapidly learn ing that heroes are not all of the same pattern, and that they are to be discerned in quiet scenes no less than in those of war and adventure. For a long time the Old Testament has been a wonderful book of heroes, because of the interest aroused by some of its characters, but the circle of these is growing wider, as the real spirit and work of others come to be known, so that now Abel, Amos, and Isaiah are felt to be heroic, along with David, Josiah, and Daniel. Then the great value of these and other characters of the Bible is that they are heroes for God and goodness, for right and for the true religion, and not merely for something that ends with this world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saints and Heroes: To the End of the Middle Ages Just about the time when Cyprian was born in Carthage, Perpetua and Felicitas amazed the people. Everybody was talk ing about it. Perpetua was twenty-two years old. Cyprian's father and mother must have known her very well. The two families belonged to the same high-born and wealthy society. They were all pagans together. But Perpetua had become a Christian. It was as if, in Russia, the daughter of a noble family should become an anarchist.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coming of the Saints: Imaginations and Studies in Early Church History and Tradition Strangers and pilgrims, with few or none to notice and keep record of their wanderings, they came to distant countries and to strange peoples. They wandered about, being often destitute, afflicted, and tormented (of whom the world was not worthy). They wandered in deserts and in mountains, and they sheltered in dens and caves of the earth. We know this because something like it has been the almost invariable experience of missionary pioneers through all the succeeding ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Saints and Heroes Long, long ago, when the world was young and gay, grown-up people must have been much more like children than they are at present. The grown-ups were quite as fond of fairy tales as any child can be to-day; and they actually believed in fairies more than some wise and grave little boys and girls do at present. Why should they not believe in them, for they met them danc ing in the open dells of the forests, and saw them, beau tiful girl fairies, wading and swimming in the river pools. These fairies were as friendly as they were fair to see; and the fairy of the oak tree or the well would step out of it when a handsome shepherd or warrior passed; and the pair would fall in love with each other, and some times marry. Homer, the Oldest of Greek poets, tells us, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, about a man who married a fairy, and how as they were kind, friendly people, they built their house near a road and entertained all the passers-by. This sort of thing is still going on in the islands of the Pacific, or so the natives believe. A native of New Caledonia, a young man, the friend of a cousin of mine named Jim, came to see him once, and stayed long, and seemed nervous and cried when he was saying goodbye.

Download or read book Our Heroes Vol 2 written by William Marion Weekley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Heroes, Vol. 2: Or United Brethren Home Missionaries It has not been an easy task to gather the material for these biographies. The standard histories of the church have but little to say about these remarkable men, and in the whole range of periodical literature, we find a strange dearth of reference to them. So that the larger part of the material composing these chapters is new, having been gathered from other and various sources. Moreover, it has not been an easy task to compress the main features of the biography of a great man of whom the world is not worthy, into a single chapter, when one longs for two or three hundred pages to tell the thrilling story of toil and sacrifice and triumph, We hope, however, that the chapters may be found to give the leading facts in the career of each of these missionary heroes, and that not a few of those who read the book may be inspired to follow in their train. These chapters record no deeds of men whom the world calls great; they record the great deeds of men whom God counts as heroes. The reader will search in vain in the early records of United Brethrenism for any names that are well-known in the annals of the Church at large. The denomination was founded by humble pioneer preachers, men who were willing to serve in obscurity, if through their efforts the souls of men might be saved, and the kingdom of God advanced even in the wilderness. And to these brave men, who cut their way through the forests, who forded dangerous streams, who endured much hard ship and privation, not only our denomination, but the Nation as well, owes a great debt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unchangeable Church, Vol. 1 of 2: Her Heroes, Her Martyrs, Her Trials, and Her Triumphs Dear Sir: I have read with both pleasure and profit your work on "The Unchangeable Church," and I congratulate you on the completion of these excellent volumes. You have culled some noble and inspiring pages from that great book which the highest minds love to peruse - the history of the Catholic Church - and you have presented them to your readers in simple and truthful language. Your book is truly eloquent and convincing, and its title is amply justified by the history of every century and every nation. The Catholic Church remains at all times the one Unchangeable Church, not alone in her doctrine and government and discipline, but also in her devotion to the best interests of the whole people. She is, indeed, emphatically the Church of the People. In all ages, and amid all conditions, she is the friend of our common humanity, the consoler of woe and sorrow of all kinds, the protector of popular rights, and the intermediary with the Divine Father in heaven. I trust your book may serve to make the Catholic Church better known. May it confirm in their ancestral faith all good Catholics, and be the means of opening the eyes of non-Catholics to the merits and just claims of the Society that was truly founded by Jesus Christ; alone represents fully His principles and His teaching; and is therefore the only religious Society that remains the same from generation to generation.
