Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Samuel Rufus Harshman: Comprising His Autobiography, Recollections of Men and Events, Camp-Meetings, and Other Meetings Held in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois; Also Something of His Later Life, Obituary, Letters, and Sermons With the publication of these Memoirs, we think our Father would have liked us to explain that he felt no small degree of hesitation and reluctance about preparing them. It was only after repeated requests and repeated urging on the part of his children that he so far overcame his modesty as to consent to set down the story of his life. He has done so primarily for their pleasure, and that they may have an authentic record of his life and ancestry. After he had commenced the work, he found great pleasure in transcribing his experiences and recollections, and this coupled with his delight in the pleasure his children found in reading them, made of the task an enjoyment and a recreation. In fact, he became so interested in the work as many times to overtax his strength, and suffered much consequent discomfort. No, his life´s story was not written because he felt that in the eyes of the world he had done anything that was of any importance. From their point of view he was, as he said in his last sickness, "just a poor fool who spent his life trying to do men good." And this, is, no doubt, the gentlest pronouncement that carnal men would make on his life. He was so eminently foolish as to follow God´s admonition, "Whosoever of you will be chiefest shall be the servant of all." This we believe epitomizes his life; he was indeed "the servant of all." We feel that such a life cannot help but be an inspiration and encouragement to those who would follow in the foot-steps of the lowly Nazarene; and it is with this hope that his life is given to his friends.
