Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Luther Halsey Gulick: Missionary in Hawaii, Micronesia, Japan, and China It gives me great pleasure to commend a volume which sets forth in such fitting terms the life and work of Dr. Gulick. The volume has been prepared as a labor of love by his daughter, Mrs. Jewett, than whom no one of my acquaintance is better fitted for the task, both through her thorough acquaintance with the incidents of his life and work and because of her command of language and of a style well fitted for this object. Few men have had a more varied experience on mission ground than Dr. Gulick; few have shown greater ability and power of adaptation to the most varied circumstances, and it is fitting that the record of his career in Micronesia, in the Sandwich Islands, in Spain, and in Italy should be commemorated as a part of the missionary history of the past generation. The more I reflect upon it the more I wonder at the work which Dr. Gulick was enabled to do at Ponape, at Ebon, as Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, and, later, in the organization of missions in Papal Lands, and, last of all, in the splendid work of distributing the Scriptures in Japan and China. Certainly he must rank among the great missionaries of the world. Many in this country remember his rare eloquence in setting forth the missionary work. He has a record unsurpassed in missionary annals. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
