Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from "Murmurmontis", Vol. 1 Dr. Wier, was born in Windsor, Nova Scotia, coming of sturdy Irish parents. He received his early training in private schools, but later studied in six of the leading colleges and universities in America and Europe, taking the highest Academic degrees. Early in life he made up his mind to be a minister, and afterwards held successfully the highest position in six different conferences. In 1888, he was chosen as the first president of the Anglo-Japanese College, after its transportation to the Methodist Episcopal Church. Shortly afterwards he was requested by the Bishop to accept the office of presiding-elder of the Northern Japanese District, then about one-third of the Empire. From this work he was called as foreign president to Tokio, the seat and centre of Methodist educational work. He was a member of the committee of five who distributed the entire missionary funds, also the commission which provided chaplains for the field and Christian literature for the army and navy during the Chinese and Japanese war. He was leader in bringing about a change in the entire missionary policy, which meant the purity of American and Japanese workers, and the placing of natives in the best educational positions as soon as they were fit for them. He is the author of different works in Ethics and New Testament Theology and Religion, which are used as text-books in the Methodist schools of Japan. His entire period in Japan was one of intense political activity. He has circumnavigated the globe twice, visiting numerous bible scenes in the Holy Land. He returned to America and was elected president of Scio College in 1899. In 1909 our Seminary was blest with the coming of Dr. Wier. During his stay with us he has secured over two hundred thousand dollars in endowments of one kind and another. He is a man who is equally at home among all races of people and makes many friends wherever he goes; is simple and unassuming in appearance and deportment, kind and genial in manner, standing high among the student body, honored, respected and loved by everyone.
