Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hand-Book of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, 1883 The Editors make no apology for the publication of this little book. It was felt by them, and many others, that the Church, by its several unions, had grown to such dimensions that it was difficult for the best informed, and impossible for the most part of its members, by any means within their reach, to obtain any conception of the extent of its field of operations, of its great schemes of Missions and Benevolence, and of the Legislative, Judicial and Advisory actings of its General Assembly. It therefore occurred to them that no better way could be devised by which to represent the Church as a grand organization for the preaching of the everlasting Gospel, and the extension of Christ´s Kingdom within the wide Dominion of Canada, than by preparing, with their best ability, the Hand-book now published. It embraces the leading features of our Presbyterian Church as a living power in the country, sets forth the covenants and conditions of our last glorious Union, and details, to an extent commensurate with the information available, the personel of our Ministry. The novelty of this last feature has, doubtless, prevented many brethren from replying to our queries, and left us only the items provided in our published records. But the interest of these biographical notices will, probably, when another edition of the Hand-book is called for, induce a larger number to furnish the personal items required. Advantage has also been taken of public sources of information, to furnish fuller particulars than required by the schedules of those of our ministers, whose labors are worthy of special recognition. We have endeavored to present in collected form the judicial decisions of the Assembly since the Union. Its administration of justice and discipline is certainly one of its highest functions. The collective wisdom and learning of the Church, guided by the Spirit of Christ, is presumed to be afforded in these solemn determinations. They embrace subjects of faith, morals, and practical Christian life, than which there is surely nothing of more importance to the Church. In most instances the decisions are, happily, such as commend themselves to the conscience and intelligence of Christian men.
