Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Church in Eastern Canada and Newfoundland: With Map The writer of this volume has felt himself under very hampering constraint in the attempt to produce a History of the ten Eastern Dioceses of Canada, in a volume not exceeding 256 pages. Fluency of style and freedom of treatment have necessarily been excluded. The attractive feature of biographical illustration had, in the main, to be passed by, and the bare narrative of events adhered to. This of course deprives the volume of that heroic interest which the history of the pioneer days of the Church´s life in Canada ought to possess. Enough, however, has perhaps been said to awaken interest in the subject, and to direct the attention of those who have more leisure and more ability for such writing, to fields where abundant material may be found. And yet the writer has been made painfully aware of the little regard with which the records of these toilsome years have generally been treated. Most of the Dioceses have no record of their past history, except such as may be painfully gathered from Bishops´ Charges, Synod and Church Society Reports. The only record the writer has been able to find of many of the noble men who have toiled in the hard places of the field, is their surviving work. Not a scrap written of which any trace could be found. This speaks well for the men who have thought so humbly of themselves and their doings; but it has inflicted great loss upon the Church.
