Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Addresses on Foreign Missions: Delivered Before the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions The following addresses, excepting the last, were delivered at successive Annual Meetings of the American Board, by Dr. R. S. Storrs, President of the Board from 1887 to 1897. The last one in the series was delivered by him, in answer to special request, at the concluding session of the International Congregational Council in Boston, in September, 1899. In this latter service he took the place, for the occasion, of Dr. C. M. Lamson, who had succeeded him in the Presidency of the Board, but who had passed out of earthly life in the previous summer; and his particular theme was the one which had been selected by Dr. Lamson for himself, in anticipation of that important meeting. It has seemed, therefore, altogether appropriate to add this address to the others which had preceded. None of the addresses had been written beforehand, and they were accordingly preserved only by the skill and diligence of reporters. Where special arrangements for such had been made - as at Cleveland, Minneapolis, Chicago, and elsewhere - the reports were commonly accurate and complete. Where, for any reason, the reports had been left to be made by representatives of the secular press, they were commonly found to be incorrect in important particulars, or abridged and partial, as at Pittsfield. In one instance, of the address at Madison in 1894, while certain leading lines of thought had been reproduced, the report as a whole was so unsatisfactory that no effort was made to revise and complete it, and hence it is not included in this collection.
