Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Rev. S. F. Johnstion, the Rev. J. W. Matheson, and Mrs. Mary Johnston Matheson, Missionaries on Tanna: With Selections From Their Diaries and Correspondence, and Notices of the New Hebrides, Their Inhabitants and Missionary Work Among Them Some apology may be deemed necessary for bringing before the public the following memoirs. We do not claim for either Mr. Matheson or Mr. Johnston any unusual talents or extraordinary attainments; their labours in the Lord´s vineyard on earth were short; and however diligently they may have sown, they were not permitted to reap. Why then, it might be objected, trouble the public with their biographies, when there are so many other individuals in the church, whose labours have been more extensive and more successful? To this the author would deem it sufficient to reply, that he believes the record of their lives is fitted to be useful in various ways. In the examination of the memorials of these beloved brethren placed in his hands, he has felt himself instructed and reproved, and as he hopes that their influence has been to make him a better man and a better minister, so he believes he is doing a service to the church in preparing them for the perusal of others. But in addition he would remark that while these brethren may have no claim to such a record from the church at large, they are entitled to it from the Presbyterian church of the Lower Provinces.
