A Concise History of Missions (Classic Reprint) by Edwin Munsell Bliss Pdf

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 influence 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 influence 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.

The Missionary Enterprise by Edwin Munsell Bliss Pdf

Excerpt from The Missionary Enterprise: A Concise History of Its Objects, Methods and Extension In view of all these facts, it becomes evident that not only did nearly every page of the earlier book need alteration, but in some respects the plan must be changed. The development of the missionary idea at home, and its execution abroad, have become so interlaced, that they cannot be dissociated. The churches influence the mis sions, but still more do the missions influence the churches. The same general principles, and much the same methods operate in both. If Evangelism is correctly defined as everything that helps to bring men to Christ, and Education as everything that builds men up in Christ, then both find their full manifestation in the organized church, whether native to America or Japan, to England or India, to Germany or Africa. Foreign missions give place to the Missionary Enterprise, the extension depart ment of the Kingdom of God. There are therefore two parts, instead of three: the first outlining the general history, its movement, princi ples and methods; the second surveying the conditions, problems and progress in different sections.

The facts given in this volume abundantly justify the confidence of our Church, and show that the sacrifices it has made during the last century and a quarter for the spread of the gospel are bearing fruit for which we can never cease to be grateful to God.

Our Centennial Memoir by Anonim Pdf

Excerpt from Our Centennial Memoir: Founding of the Missions In presenting this little volume to the public for their acceptance and approbation, the publisher does not think it necessary, or advisable, to trouble them with a lengthy preface. There are many reasons why a book like this, simple, unpretentious and purely historical in its character, should be laid before the citizens of San Francisco. They have but recently celebrated the hundredth anniversary of the foundation of their beautiful and interesting city, and it seems but right that some more enduring and substantial record than the reports, however full and complete, of newspapers, which are of their very nature but the things of a day, should be made of an event of such importance. The object of the publisher, therefore, is to contribute his humble but sincere effort towards transmitting to posterity the record of the foundation of civilization on the shores of California. If his labor meets the approval of those who participated in it, he will be amply satisfied and he will not think his toil in vain.

Inside Views of Mission Life (Classic Reprint) by Annie Laurie Adams Baird Pdf

Excerpt from Inside Views of Mission Life But there is another course - and I am happy to say that, as far as my observation goes, the large majority of young missionaries choose it in preference to the other - to take one's stand on the comfortable conviction that our seniors in the service are entirely ready to grant the fact of our ability and that it only remains for us to prove the possession of ability by diligent mastery of our profession. From the standpoint of the older missionaries, I suppose there are few indeed who do not look forward to the advent of fresh young life from America in high hopes of something better, brighter and more promising in every way than they themselves have been able to contribute to the common stock. And more often than not the young missionary finds himself, from force of circumstances, loaded up with work long before he should be so busy, in justice to his ultimate and highest usefulness.

Missionary Sketches by S. F. Smith Pdf

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."
