Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Great Value and Success of Foreign Missions: Proved by Distinguished Witnesses; Being the Testimony of Diplomatic Ministers, Consuls, Naval Officers, and Scientific and Other Travelers in Heathen and Mohammedan Countries; Together With That of English Viceroys, Governors, and Military Officers in In This most timely book fits the need of the day, as ball fits socket, or tenon fits mortise. To decry, or even deny, the good work done by heroic missionaries does not disprove it; the logic of events will convince any candid mind, and this book is simply a grand massing and marshalling of testimony. Nehemiah, the model reformer and organizer, met manifold forms of antagonism. But, in face of apathy and lethargy on the part of Jews, and derisive ridicule and malicious enmity on the part of Horonite and Ammonite and Arabian, he held his tongue, kept his temper, minded his own business, and moved right forward, till the wall was built, the gates hung, and law and order were reestablished. That ancient "repairer of the breach, and restorer of paths to dwell in," was not alone in his experience of opposition in doing his great and good work. "A light word is the Devil´s keenest sword." There are many who are "willingly ignorant;" and if all that they do not know were put in print, the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
