Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Artisan Missionary, on the Zambesi, Being the Life Story of William Thomson Waddell, Largely Drawn From His, Letters and Journals It is a great pleasure to be allowed to prefix a few lines to William Waddell´s life-story, which Mr. MacConnachie has written so graphically and sympathetically. My dear uncle and aunt, M. and Mme. Coillard, felt the warmest affection for him, and the warmest gratitude also, knowing that, humanly speaking, it was his mechanical skill which had captivated the material minds of the Barotsi rulers, and had thus secured not only an open door, but a permanent footing for the Mission in their midst. The apostle´s word, "I am made all things to all men ... that I might by any means gain some," must even to-day be the guiding principle of Mission work, and in Africa industrial missions seem to be the most suitable and acceptable. Herein, however, lurks a great danger; many people, both black and white, would like a policy of "industry" without the "Mission." The mighty civilisations of the past, all crumbled to dust, bear witness to the end of this so-called "Gospel of Labour." "Thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, brass and iron, wood and stone, ... and the God in whose hand they breadth is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified."
