Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memoir of Edward Steere, D.D., LL. D : Third Missionary Bishop in Central Africa It is remarkable that, whilst Cambridge gave the first, and Oxford the second head to the Mission to Central Africa founded by the old Universities, the third was a distinguished alumnus of a new University, little more than fifty years old, and not attached by any special ties to the Church of England. Nevertheless, it is pleasant to think that a son of the Church of England, entrusted to her care, has by his life and work ennobled the University of London. This volume does not profess to be a record of such life and work. It is only a Memoir. It is an endeavour to catch, and to fix in print, a few glimpses of a great character. They are only glimpses of one, who, as the late Bishop Wordsworth of Lincoln declared, "Stood foremost among the missionary bishops of his age in special gifts, endowments, and attainments; in philosophical wisdom and meditative thoughtfulness, in ethical and metaphysical science, in sound Christian theology, in marvellous linguistic ability, joined with practical prudence, homely simplicity, indomitable courage, and universal sympathy; unflinching self-devotion, never-failing hopefulness and joy, and primitive holiness of life."
