Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memorial Record of the New-York Branch of the United States Christian Commission: Compiled Under the Direction of the Executive Committee The following brief Record has been prepared at the request and under the direction of the Executive Committee of the New-York Branch of the Christian Commission. It has not been the object of the compiler to give a history of this Branch of the Commission, but to collect and group together some of the more important facts and features of the work. While the war was waging, and the Commission was in full operation, nearly every one throughout the entire community became familiar with it. But at a period of such wonderful activities and rapid progress, when men live almost exclusively in the present and the future, the past, however full of incident and instruction, quickly fades from the public mind, and is buried in oblivion. As the Christian Commission, in its origin and operation, is something unique and without a parallel; and, as it impressively illustrates the power and comprehensive spirit of the Gospel of the Saviour, it ought not to be forgotten, but should be held in perpetual and grateful remembrance. It affords one of the most powerful and conclusive arguments in favor of the divine nature, and of the humanizing, alleviating, comforting, and saving influences of Christianity which history records. To keep alive, therefore, with the present generation, the name and doings of this Mission of Mercy, and to hand the same to those who shall come after, is the chief purpose of this Memorial Volume.
