Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sketch of the Syria Mission The object of this pamphlet is to bring to the attention of its readers the Syria Mission as it is at the present time. Any attempt to give a history of this interesting field would require more space than is desirable in this publication; those desiring a more complete historical review than is given here are referred to the excellent pamphlet already issued from the pen of Rev. Thomas Laurie, D.D., and to the forthcoming "History of the Syria Mission," by Rev. Isaac Bird, soon to be issued by the Presbyterian Board of Publication. We propose herein simply to group together in a condensed and connected review the salient facts of interest which mission work in Syria presents, and if possible to bring the field more vividly and clearly before the minds of its friends at home. This plan involves: I. A Glance At The Field And Its Peculiarities. II. A Statement Of Progress Up To The Present Time. III. A Glance At The Present Condition And Future Prospects Of The Mission. I. The Field And Its Peculiarities. 1. Its Geography and History. - The geographical limits of the field, reach from Acre on the sea coast northward for about 150 miles, and extend from the coast inland an average breadth of fifty miles. The prominent and interesting feature of the natural scenery of the Syrian coast, as thus limited, is the grand Lebanon range, which towers in sublimity and beauty along nearly the entire extent of the mission territory. Along the sea-coast are populous cities, and the western slopes of Lebanon are thickly dotted with villages, some of them of considerable size. For convenience in the prosecution of missionary operations this whole field is subdivided into four smaller fields, named respectively after the prominent and central station where the missionary families reside, the Beirut, Tripoli, Sidon, and Abeih fields.
