Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fifty Years With the Baptist Ministers and Churches of the Maritime Provinces of Canada Having been mercifully preserved amid manifold dangers, by sea and by land, at home and abroad, for more than half a century, in the ministry of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus, it is deeply impressed on my mind that it is a sacred duty which I owe to my covenant God and Father, to place upon permanent record what my eyes have seen, my ears heard, and my hands have handled, of the glorious triumphs of His Kingdom in that section of the Church of Christ with which I have been identified in body, soul and spirit, during these long years of ministerial service. Not indeed that frail and imperfect humanity may he exalted; but that Christ the Saviour may be glorified and the interests of His Church promoted. It has been said that "there is a future for the Baptists." I believe that is true of them in relation to this country as well as elsewhere. They have also a past that has laid foundations broad and deep upon which they may go on to build, with prospects bright and cheering, until the voice of the Archangel and the trump of God shall summon all to give an account of their stewardship. Nowhere in this wide world are the foot-prints of Zion´s King more distinctly seen than in the rise and progress of a vital Christianity, as associated with the origin and multiplication of Baptist Ministers and Churches in these Maritime Provinces. Their wondrous history is all radiant with light from the celestial hills, and thoroughly permeated with the power of sovereign grace. Men - feeble men - were the agents for carrying forward this mighty work; but Jehovah wrought through them with irresistible power to save. Redeemed men planted and watered: but God gave the increase. To His name be all the glory. My purpose is to so review the past as to stimulate to renewed vigor and increased activity in prosecuting the great work so nobly commenced. In this way David, the man of God, braced up the ancient Church for the performance of her great mission. "We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work Thou didst in their days. How Thou didst drive out the heathen with Thy hand, and plantedst them: how Thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
