Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Labors of Rev. Samuel Worcester, D. D, Vol. 1: Former Pastor of the Tabernacle Church, Salem, Mass Whatever reason may be assigned, the history of the Church and of our country has been too little known among us, or too little regarded. This remark applies to some, whose reputation for general intelligence should denote "a perfect understanding of all things from the very first." We may thus explain the very illusive views and erroneous opinions of many, as it respects the introduction of the Missionary Element into the spirit and character of our institutions and our times. Some appear to be well satisfied, by doing honor to a few more recent names. Others may find it sufficiently agreeable, to exult in the advanced position, which it is our privilege to have reached. It is not very strange, perhaps, since as compared with the early part of the present century, the objects and anticipations of christian philanthropy have so entirely changed the prevailing habits of thought and modes of expression. The minds of the people are not now absorbed in watching the progress of the revolution in France; nor is the word "march" applied, with a thrill of military sensation, to every political and moral movement. At the present day, the language of literature and popular eloquence has not a more favorite or acceptable term, than the word Mission. This is a truly auspicious token of progress in the right direction, and is of itself a volume in proof of such progress. But there were "days of old," which are not now to be "despised," as "days of small things." And there is "a record on high," we may be grateful to believe, which "Time´s effacing fingers" can never touch; and which it is wise in all to consider, if they would "share a glorious part" in the recompense of "works of faith," and "labors of love," and "afflictions accomplished in brethren," "of whom the world was not worthy."
