Evangelisation Of The World A Missionary Band PDF Download

Excerpt from A Missionary Band: A Record and an Appeal This testimony is true, and, throughout the world, wherever the English language is spoken, much interest was awakened. The event was regarded as unique in the history of Missions, and the extraordinary demand for such particulars as have from time to time been published, has led to the preparation of this fuller account, which, it is believed, will be eagerly welcomed by many in all parts of the world. But let no one mistake the Object of its publication - that object is not to extol the beloved brethren of whom it speaks, as though they had done some work of supererogation. The service of christ in the foreign mission field confers a far higher honour on the man who devotes himself to it, than the man, be he who he may, can confer upon the work. Our brethren know this full well, and inspired by true loyalty to christ, and an enlightened regard to the interests of His cause on earth, they have counted it their high privilege to give themselves to missionary work in a distant land and we believe that the days are not distant when hundreds and thousands of young men of equal position and fitness will do as they have done. Towards the hastening of this time their example is of unspeakable value, and cannot be too widely known, with all of detail that may render it influential. No one, it is hoped, will lose sight of the fact that the chief qualification for missionary work is something immeasurably higher than anything social po'sition or University training can give, and it is the possession of this qualification which affords such deep satisfaction concerning these brethren.
