Memoir Of The Rev Pliny Fisk Am PDF Download

Excerpt from Memoir of the Rev. Pliny Fisk, A. M., Late Missionary to Palestine Some of the documents, transmitted to this country by Mr. Fisk, have in part been published in religious periodi cals, particularly the Missionary Herald. From these it has been necessary to make copious selections, as well as from his private journal and correspondence. The constant aim of the Compiler has been, to make such a selection from the copious and valuable materials collected, as will furnish a just exhibition of the life and character of this eminent Missionary; and as may, with a Divine blessing, subserve the cause to which, with untiring zeal and diligence, he devoted his talents and sacrificed his life. If this record of his religious exercises and benevolent works may but excite others to emulate his sterling virtues, or inspire any one with the holy resolution to gird himself for the perils, conflicts, and sacrifices of the same self-deny ing service, the labor of preparing it for the press will not have been in vain. That such may be the results, this volume is respectfully committed to the Christian public, and is com mended with earnest prayer to the blessing of Almighty God.
