Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memories of Gospel Triumphs Among the Jews During the Victorian Era In sending forth this Jubilee volume we have to express our regret that its publication has been so long delayed, on the one hand through illness and absorbing secretarial and editorial duties, and on the other hand, from causes which it was not in our power to obviate. We are sorry also that for want of space we have been obliged to give portraits of preachers and missionaries without sketches, and crush out articles and illustrations enough to fill a volume equal in size to this. Then, once more, the lives and labours of such representatives of the Society as the Revs. John Gill, M.D., Josiah Miller, M.A., Robert Grant Brown, Principal McAll, &c.; and such spiritual sons as the Rev. Abraham Ben Oliel, and his brother, the Rev. Maxwell Ben Oliel, Dr. Schnlhof, Dr. Benzion, Mr. J. B. Lazarus, Mr. C. D. Joseph, of Jerusalem, and the Revs. John Wilkinson, and James Adler, of the Mildmay Mission, would take more than one volume to do them justice; and yet we have only been able to insert a brief account of the work of the last two named. Many years ago Mr. Wilkinson wrote to the office for copies of the Annual Reports, Jewish Heralds, lectures, sermons, &c., which the Society had published. A parcel of these was sent to him in due course, which ho studied diligently, and afterwards, in his own way, reproduced in the discharge of his difficult and important double task as the Society´s able and earnest Missionary and Deputation. The Jubilee volume contains some fine specimens of these early literary products of the Society; it also includes many striking incidents of Jewish conversion, and all the telling arguments in favour of Jewish Missions. In fulfilling our task as editor, our aim has been for the glory of God and the good of His people Israel, to make the book an impressive and inspiring record of the British Society´s Jewish Mission work; and we entertain the conviction that we have succeeded. The hook proves that the London and British Societies are the illustrious mothers of modern Missions to Israel. In a word, our Jubilee volume is a storehouse of interesting and instructive facts and figures, arguments and illustrations, adapted alike to the aged and the young, which unmistakably show that the work of Jewish evangelization during the last 50 years has been so rich in spiritual results that it deserves and demands from the members of the Christian Church a million-fold more support than it has yet received. Again, in perusing the book, we would affectionately ask all our readers to bear in mind, and carry along with them to the end, the following important considerations: - (1.) That the golden sheaves presented in it are only a few taken from ten thousand reaped by our faithful missionaries in our home and foreign fields during the past half-century.
