Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Moravian Missions Among Southern Indian Tribes of the United States, Vol. 1 History or fiction of which the American Indian is the subject has a peculiar fascination for many people. Those who remember the high privilege, while at school, of taking out a library book on Friday afternoons will, most likely, have a picture in their minds of the shelf upon which stood the "Leather-Stocking Tales" or other Indian books. Places made historic by having been haunts of the Indian or scenes of his special activity, good or evil, are invested with an unfailing glow of romance and Indian names are retained in spite of difficult spelling and pronunciation. The Indian´s arrowheads and other relics never cease to charm. The writer has experienced all these thrills, but wishes to record that, for him, the greatest interest attaching to the Indian has been to observe him responding to the Gospel. This is the best part of Indian lore. Moravian mission history is particularly rich in this field, for the Indians ever lay near to the hearts of the Moravian Brethren - hearts filled with the great love of the Saviour. Histories of the labors of the Moravians among the northern tribes in the United States and Canada have been written, and it is fitting that this story of the Moravian missions among southern Indian tribes of the United States should be added, a history which has never before been written, except in outline. This mission, also, is a finished work of the Church, and, from that viewpoint, deserves to be written and read. This story forms part of the early history of Wachovia, the Moravian settlement in North Carolina, which, in turn, is one of the main chapters in the history of that State. The primary work of the Church of Christ is the spreading of His Gospel. Methods do and should change; people change; times change. Fifty years ago, the farmer plowed his field with an old-fashioned plow, drawn by a team of horses or a yoke of oxen. He reaped the grain with a cradle, bound it by hand, and separated the grain from the chaff with a flail. The grain was ground between two millstones, and then the dough was baked in the fireplace. The result of this difficult process was Bread. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
