Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Missionary History There is, of course, a right place for these things. But while the interest of the child is child like, the mere interest of the adult is childish. Let us have interest in the Sunday school, but let us have passion in the Church, based upon some knowledge of its progress. We must expect from the Church more than interest in that work of re demption for which Christ endured the agony of a Gethsemane and the heartbreak of a Calvary. The Master went to His death amidst apparent failure and defeat, content to foresee the result of that travail of His soul which should satisfy. The work which was thus initiated by the pas sion of Christ can hardly be carried on only as it appeals to the interest of the Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Missionary History The voices that are coining out of the East with increasing frequency in these days are being listened to more than formerly and with distinct advantage to ourselves. They not only interpret to us the life and thought of other peoples, but they convey to us the careful observations of those who have gone out from amongst us upon the errands of God and of the Church and who have cast in their lot with those people. One of these latter has recently sent out with peculiar force an appeal to which this book is a distinct and somewhat unique response. The thought that thus comes to us and which should be given heed to with especial care at this time, is that, if the evangelization of the world is a truer conception of the duty of the Church than mere proselytism for its own sake, the conception of the Church's responsibility must deepen into something very much more than mere interest in foreign missions, and her efforts must be something more than the purely superficial attempts to keep up that interest by the spectacular attractions and displays which may momentarily arrest the eye, but can not so assuredly and permanently affect the heart. If missionary work has to depend upon the power of keeping up such an interest its day is past. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Epoch-Makers: The Story of the Great Missionary Eras in the History of Christianity "There is a law of the imagination, forcing it to demand a concrete and personal center, around which (as a flint gathers around some organic substance in the chalk) its floating historical conceptions shall dispose themselves." These words, though they in no way suggested the writing of this book, not inaptly describe its organizing idea. The chapters following are the outgrowth of the author's experience in teaching the history of Christian missions to his classes for more than a dozen years. No method is so practically effective in arousing the student's interest and in helping him see the facts in their true perspective as the biographical. Many books already exist that tell the story of Christian missions, but none pursue this method. And yet the subject is one peculiarly fitted for biographical treatment - indeed, it cannot be treated in any other way without most inadequate presentation of the facts. It will occur to some readers, possibly, that other chapters ought to have been added on modern missionaries, the absence of whose names they will mark and deplore. But a little further consideration will make it plain that this would have been incompatible with the plan of the book. If one were attempting to give a complete history of missions, or even a fairly complete collection of missionary biographies, the omission of such names as Brainerd, Morrison, Paton, Neesima, would indeed be inexcusable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline of Church History In the present edition of the Outline of Church History, an effort has been made to adapt it more fully to the needs of the student, of the teacher, and of the general reader, than were the former editions of the work. Some departments have been thoroughly changed. Dates, so far as they can be definitely or approximately known, have been assigned to the tables of the Church Fathers. The chapter in the first edition treating of the latest history of the Church has been canceled, and another, bringing down the history to the present year, has been substituted for it. The Survey of Missions has been entirely re-written, giving the latest progress in the foreign mission fields of the Church. An Index, which was not thought necessary in the first issue of the work, has been found, by the use of the volume, to be a real want, and has been supplied in the new edition. The first summary which we give below, the General Periods of Church History, should be carefully committed to memory, to serve as a framework for the entire structure of Church History. The student will then have in mind a general survey of all the periods, in historical order, with exact dates defining the general divisions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches From Church History for Mennonite Schools The purpose of this little volume is to offer not what the pupil should hear in his classes, nor what the teacher should know, but what the former should learn and take with him from school and should use as a nucleus around which to gather further knowledge. Because of the fact that only a short time can be devoted to this study in school, it is self-evident that the amount of matter presented must be very limited. The teacher should let the class read each new paragraph and should explain such words and sentences as are not understood by the pupils. Then the pupils should close their books while the teacher enlarges upon the subject-matter of the text-book. This method will naturally arouse the interest of the pupils. The teacher, however, must guard against presenting too much outside matter. During the following recitation period he must expect the pupils to know what is given in the text-book. If they can give anything definite of what he added, they should be especially commended. It is scarcely necessary to warn against a discussion of the peculiarities distinguishing the various branches of our denomination. For that reason every occasion for such discussion has been avoided in this book. Short devotional meditations and applications are appropriate. They, however, will make deeper impressions if they are presented orally by the teacher instead of being read out of the text-book. We hope that this little volume will prove helpful in our schools.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Missionary Sketches: A Concise, History of the Work of the American Baptist Missionary Union These sketches were suggested by my friend Rev. Dr. Bright, of New York, and appeared in successive months in "The Examiner and Chronicle." They were received with much favor, and I have been requested by many whose judgment I respect, to gather them together into their present form. Each chapter is of proper length to be read at one sitting, or at a missionary concert; and each gives a concise view of a single mission. Within so narrow a compass, it was impossible to embrace every name, or interesting incident, or succession of events, or important detail. The work aims to be only what its title implies. I have revised the Sketches, and continued them to the present date. I lay the little volume on the altar of missions, and dedicate it to Him, to whom, in due time, "every knee shall bow."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Missions: Under the Care of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church Location. The mission supported by the Presbyterian Board, under the care of the Presbytery of Western Africa, lies in the republic of Liberia, whose limits are 7 25' N. lat. down to 4 44' N. lat., including a little over five hundred miles of sea-coast, with an average width in the interior of fifty, miles. This interior extension may be increased, the territory of native princes which has been ceded to the republic not leaving very definite eastern limits. Early History. The first settlement on that coast was January 7, 1821, by eighty-nine free blacks who sailed from New York in 1820. In April, 1822, a colony of manumitted slaves from the United States was planted by the American Colonization Society, which for twenty-five years retained the supervision of them, under Governors Ashmun, Pinney and others, until the establishment of the republic, with its capital at Monrovia, on July 26, 1847. Various missionary boards, representing all the evangelical Christian churches, followed with their agents those who had gone out as colonist. People And Government. The Government is modeled on that of the United States, having a President with his Cabinet, a Senate and a House of Representatives. There is no established church, and all faith are equally tolerated. In 1890 the population comprises about 20,000 civilized negroes, chiefly of American origin, and 1,050,000 half-wild native, who are gradually coming under the influence of civilization. The most interesting tribes are the Veys, Bassos, Kroos and Mandingoes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Decade of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church: With Sketches of Its Missionaries The preparation of this volume was concerned early in the year 1878; but the work has been delayed longer than we anticipated, because of the time required to conduct the preliminary correspondence, extending, of necessity, to the ends of the earth. We have spared neither time nor pains to make the volume reliable. In the preparation of the sketches we have made no statements without most ample warrant, either from the missionaries themselves or from their own personal friends; and we would gratefully record our especial obligation to these persons for their prompt and generous aid. We propose to give our readers only a part of the history of our toilers in foreign fields. Just so much is presented as precedes and covers the first ten years of our Society.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Catholic Church in Oregon, During the Past Forty Years The world has its heroes, but to the missionaries of the everlasting gospel must be assigned a far high er glory, because they are the heralds of a King whose footstool is the universe I It is in His service that deeds of heroism are performed which make all worldly actions pale into utter insignificance. The reason is obvious the hero of the world displays his valor for earthly glory alone, whilst the missionary of the Cross is animated by the highest and holiest aspirations that can illumine the soul - the hope of enjoying with God the eternal reward promised to those who scatter the seeds of Faith among the tribes and people who are without the knowledge of the true God.
