Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of the Centenary Conference on the Protestant Missions of the World, Vol. 2: Held in Exeter Hall (June 9th 19th), London, 1888, Edited by James Johnston My own sphere of connection with the Missionary enterprise - not as a Missionary exactly - though as far as I can recollect my service in India, I can recall with pleasure my interest in the development and working of Missions throughout that vast continent, my own connection with Missionary enterprise has been in that great eastern dependency of our Sovereign; and I look back with gratification to the fact that in many places of that vast continent, in the North-west Provinces, and especially in Burmah, the work of Missions was chiefly carried on by Missionaries from Germany and America. I am present to-day rather as a listener and a learner than as an instructor in the special subjects of our Conference, and I will not detain you, at least at present, with any further words upon this subject. I will now call upon Mr. Barlow to read the first Paper. Paper. 1. - By the Rev. W. H. Barlow, B. D. (Islington). In addressing myself to such a subject as this, and in compressing my thoughts into an address of twenty minutes´ length, there is much that must be taken for granted. For example, I do not refer to the cases of those who offer themselves for Missionary work as ordained labourers, or as men already equipped, educationally, for foreign service, because the training of such agents is not in question. And in regard to those candidates for Missionary enterprise whose position I am about to examine - these points must be considered as settled, viz., that they arc themselves partakers of Divine grace, men of a holy life, of clear views as to the doctrines they hold and will be called upon to teach, of vigorous health, of energy and determination of character, aglow with love to souls, and able to show proof of activity and zeal in Christian work at home. My subject is the training of men of the class so defined. It will be remembered that I speak as an attached member of the Church of England, but with a real and ever-deepening brotherly regard for the members of every Protestant and Evangelical institution, whose end and aim are to preach the simple Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. I. The first point that I would press is the constant and thorough study of the Holy Scriptures. They arc the sword of the Spirit, the first and great weapon on which the Christian warrior has to rely. Whatever other books he may or may not know´, he must know this. It will be the beginning and end of all his teaching. Knowledge he must have, sooner or later, of the systems of religion, so called, which it will be his duty to attack and overthrow.
