Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Labors of Rev. Reuben Gaylord: Home Missionary for Iowa and Nebraska and Superintendent for A H. M. S. For Nebraska and Western Iowa The narrative of Mr. Gaylords life and labors will be given, as far as practicable, from his own writings, and will consist of somewhat copious extracts from a journal, embracing a period of time from 1837 to 1844, and also letters written by him to various friends, and to the American Home Missionary Society, which have been preserved, extending through many years. His numerous letters to his mother, toward whom he ever cherished the tenderest regard, have not been found; and this will make a vacancy which cannot be supplied. Letters are often journals, telling what the writer and those around him are doing, and giving a narrative of interesting events, which are taking place in the world. Some incidents will be related for the sake of the children and grand-children of the deceased, which may not be of much interest to the general reader. New England, once the asylum and the home of saints and heroes, was the birthplace of Mr. Gaylord. It was the garden of the Bible, where its truths were planted deeply and in such congenial soil that they grew most luxuriantly, and yielded those wholesome fruits which are necessary to promote true spiritual life and growth in the human soul. As the years have grown to centuries, the sharp sickles of error and unbelief have lopped off some of the branches, but the plants still live. Most of her Christian men and women, who have been transplanted to other climes as home or foreign missionaries or business men, have maintained the true faith once delivered to the saints. They have held fast to the plain, strong, Scriptural doctrines, which are able to make men wise unto salvation, with greater tenacity than some of their New England brethren are doing at the present day.
