Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Society of Inquiry on Missions: And the State of Religion January 3d and 4th, Brother Schwinn was engaged in speaking with the condidates for baptism. Many complained bitterly of what they had suffered by the disturbance made by the so-called christians, who came hither on new year´s eve, when they had hoped for a particular blessing. However, we had reason to rejoice that the Spirit of God convinces them more and more of the truth of the gospel, and the necessity of being washed from sin, in the blood of Jesus; and the general tenor of their expressions, was a token of a broken and contrite spirit. 6th, being Epiphany, we celebrated the first appearance of our Lord, as the Saviour of the Gentiles, and experienced of a truth, that He has also collected in this place, a congregation, amongst whom He deigns to reveal His presence. Seven adults were added to the church, by holy baptism. 7th. A wolf approached near our dwellings, howling for hunger. Some of our Hottentots immediately set off in pursuit of him, but in vain. The day following, one of our servants had a narrow escape. Stretching out his hand to pluck some figs, he discovered a large venemous serpent in the tree, helping himself at the same time to the fig next to that he had hold of. On the 10th and following days, we spoke with all the new people. Piet Hartbeest said: "When I go to the church, and the door is shut, I am frightened, and the thought arises in my heart, that it will be so with me, when the thread of my life is cut. Then the kingdom of Heaven will be shut against me." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
