Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ten Years Review of Mission Work in Madagascar, 1880-1890 The following report of mission in Madagascar has been prepared in accordance with a regulation of the London Missionary Society requiring that a General Review of the progress made in the Society´s missions should be drawn up at the end of every decade. The first Review of the kind, prepared by Rev. W. E. Cousins, was published in 1870, and contained a brief history of the mission during the preceding ten years. The second, prepared by Rev. B. Briggs, appeared in 1880. It consisted of over 300 pages, and was of a very exhaustive character. No period in the history of the mission in Madagascar has witnessed so many changes and such remarkable progress in the spread of Christianity among the people as that between 1870 - 1880: churches sprang up on every hand, the number of church-members increased more than threefold, schools multiplied, and numerous beneficial changes of a social and political character kept pace with the spread of the Gospel; and in order to enable the Directors and friends of the Society to comprehend the new order of things, it became necessary, at the end of that decade, to give the fullest details concerning our work here and to enter into particulars which, once told, it is no longer needful to speak of. The Review therefore published in 1880 remains to this day a valuable record of facts and events directly and indirectly connected with the work carried on, not only by the London Missionary Society, but by all the Protestant Missionary Societies in the island. The work of the past ten years has been one of consolidation rather than expansion, of growth in knowledge and Christian life among the churches rather than in numerical increase.
