Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Geddie, Hero of the New Hebrides The name of John Geddie and of the New Hebrides will always be as ointment poured forth to Canadian Christians. John Geddie was the first missionary sent to the heathen upon the sole responsibility of a Colonial Church. He had in him no faintest touch of the modern German "superman," but was meek and lowly, tender and pitiful, like his Master. Like his Master, too, this weak man "after the flesh" was mighty through God to the pulling down of Satan´s strongholds, subduing savages to tenderness and transforming cannibals into Christian brothers. The New Hebrides will always be known to Canadians as the Martyr Islands, baptized with the blood of our early missionaries, but also as the scene of the most notable triumphs of the Gospel. The triumph of purely spiritual forces over the carnal and the material is nowhere better illustrated than in Aneityum and Erromanga. From this man and from these islands came the inspiration that has since carried our Church into eight other distinct parts of the non-Christian world. We owe a debt of gratitude to Professor James Falconer for uncovering these springs of life and putting within reach of all, in so brief and readable a form, the story of John Geddie´s life and work.
