Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bishop´s Conversion It has long been a cause of regret to missionaries in the foreign field that people at home seemed so prone to form incorrect ideas, both of their method of work and style of living. Many honest and earnest attempts have been made to correct the false impressions which have become current, both in England and America, but these have not always proved successful. The root of the difficulty is found in the fact that most persons measure all conditions of life and labor by the same standard without making allowance for the thousand points of difference which must prevail between people and countries so radically different as those found in the Oriental and Occidental worlds. To this must be added the fact that for two generations past a false ideal of missionary character and missionary work has been devoutly cherished both in England and America. The missionary is very much like other good men. His work is a very practical work, and all romantic ideals, or exaggerated ideas of angelic perfection, must be thrown to the winds by the practical observer who wishes to get a correct view of missionary life as it is.
