Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eighth Annual Report of the Freedmen´s Aid Society: Of the Methodist Episcopal Church The Board of Managers of the Freedmen´s Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church respectfully submit their Eighth Annual Report: The past year has been a prosperous one, for which we are profoundly thankful to Almighty God, and the friends of Christian benevolence, who have so generously responded to our appeals for assistance; for in spite of the financial embarrassment of the country, and while there has been a falling off in the collections for almost every other benevolent work, in our own and in other denominations, our receipts for the year have been considerably in advance of those of any preceding one - a fact worthy of especial gratitude, and indicative of the increasing interest of the Church in this important work. The retrospection of our past efforts in behalf of this injured people awakens mingled emotions of gratitude and sadness: gratitude, that we have been enabled to accomplish so much in an enterprise so intimately connected with the safety of the nation, the elevation of man, and the prosperity of the Church; sadness, that, amid such general desolation, resulting from ignorance, superstition, crime, and slavery, we have been able to contribute so little to the relief and elevation of millions in our midst, suffering the accumulated wrongs of ages. The work upon which this Society has entered is a gigantic one, and taxes to the utmost the energies and the benevolence of the nation. It is the Christian training of five millions of people, one-eighth of our entire population, and through these the elevation of hundreds of millions of incoming generations. They are now freemen and citizens, endowed with the rights and privileges of citizenship. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
