Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our West China Mission: Being a Somewhat Extensive Summary by the Missionaries on the Field of the Work During the First Twenty-Five Years of the Canadian Methodist Mission in the Province of Szechwan, Western China Canadian Methodism has been making history and writing on the venerable face of China for twenty-eight years. Brief as is this period in the life of that potentially great Empire, it is a much larger fraction in the days of our Church, but in both it has a spiritual and eternal significance beyond words. What a monument it is of vision, consecration, sacrifice, heroism, inventiveness, spiritual diplomacy and practical sagacity, in those who planted the banner of our Church and bore it ´mid thick fighting until it has been the beneficence of protection, and a symbol of healing for body and soul; a great light shining in and dispelling the deep darkness of an awakening nation! The passing of Omar L. Kilborn so recently in itself demands a history of the first great period of our endeavors there, but by the glimpses of his greatness we are permitted to catch in this book, we are assured that time must pass before he and his fellow laborers are seen in their true perspective. This book, the precursor of many that must be written to reveal the activities and the successes of our Church through its devoted missionaries, is made luminous and appealing with appended illustrations, and is indispensable to the student who would visualize Chinese work and conditions at first hand to-day. It should be in the hands of every intelligent Canadian Methodist, and be read as a means of entering into that world-citizenship, to which every Christian is called and should aspire.
