Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of the Otago Church and Settlement The following pages make no pretensions to deal exhaustively with the subjects of which they treat. They are offered merely as a contribution towards a fuller knowledge than now obtains, of the planting and progress of the first and only Free Church colony in the world. To myself it has been a pleasant and congenial task to look back across the years that have passed over us since the first adventurous bands of pioneers set foot on Otago, and to watch the social convulsions which supervened upon the discovery of gold; to mark the organization and the rapid growth of the churches, which arc now so marvellously multiplied in the land; and to note the more important public events which awakened a general interest, and affected, more or less remotely, the social and religious life of the people. All the accessible literature on Otago has been read, and put, to some extent, under contribution. I have used just so much of it as I believed to be suitable for the purpose which I had in view. I have to acknowledge my indebtedness to the early files of the daily and weekly papers of Dunedin and Southland; especially am I under obligation to the Otago Colonist, the Otago Daily Times, The Evangelist, and the New Zealand Presbyterian, for information which has been largely used in the following pages.
