Missions From The Modern View Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Missions From the Modern View The lectures following contribute to the solution of a problem at once intricate and fascinating. That problem is the readjustment of missionary ideals and methods to the modern state of knowledge. To admit the need of read justment in the field of missions is to place that field in the same honorable category with every other field of lofty human enterprise. Readjustment means growth, progress, aug mentation of power, as the effects of increased knowledge and experience. It would be mis taken loyalty to great leaders of the past to contend that their successors in work must occupy the same point of view and practice the same methods. The great leaders of the past, could they speak to us, would protest against such well-meant but erroneous conservatism. They themselves were prophets, gazing beyond the things they saw, and testifying beforetime of a better day to come after them. William Carey, of Serampore, was a statesman and a prophet. None can stand in his library, or look upon his buildings on the river bank, or trace the outline of his missionary policy with out realizing that his mind anticipated and.

Excerpt from Modern Missions: Their Trials and Triumphs In the following pages an attempt has been made to bring together, within brief compass, the more important facts relating to modern Protestant missions. Special prominence is given to their earlier history, inasmuch as a knowledge of it is essential to a proper estimate of their present position, and also because there were exhibited, during the period referred to, deeds of heroic self-sacrifice that deserve to be held in lasting remembrance. The work has extended far beyond the limits originally contemplated, and, in consequence, it has been found necessary to reserve a large portion of the material. The issue of a second volume will depend upon the measure of acceptance which the Christian public may give to the present one. The fields thus reluctantly reserved are Greenland, Labrador, South America, Syria, Armenia, Persia, and Egypt, as well as missions to them Jews. The narrative must be regarded as little more than a mere outline. Very much has been left unsaid which might have been with advantage recorded. Many honoured names are altogether omitted, while others are alluded to only incidentally. The space, too, allotted to the various missions may not be, in some cases, in proportion to their relative importance.

Excerpt from Missions and Modern Thought Every institution and activity of Christianity finds itself challenged at the bar of modern thought. The glory of this age is its skepticism which is the natural outcome of its extensive discoveries. It is not to be taken for granted that modern thought is always right and that all that is not modern must either give place to what is new or adjust itself to it. The adjustment must Often be made from the other side. A new railway compels many established things to make way for it, but some of the mountains and the rivers compel the new railway to take them into account, and adjust itself to their permanence. Yet our life and work are in the modern world and it is our business at least to' seek to understand the relations of whatever we deem worth while to the spirit and tendencies of our times. It is hoped that the following pages may contribute somewhat to defining the relations of the missionary enterprise of the Church to the thought of the time in which we live.

Excerpt from Modern Missions in the East: Their Methods, Successes, and Limitations Tmc substance of this volume was first presented in the form of lectures in Andover Theological Seminary, on the Hyde Foundation, and subsequently in Yale Divinity School and Beloit College. The contents are based upon a twenty months' missionary journey around the world vyith the express purpose of studying the mission work of various denominations. Since my return I have given months of special attention to the subject, that the discus sion might have a more permanent value than that of a simple report of things seen upon the field. I have hoped that in some ways such a volume might serve as a text book for those who wish to look into the science of mis.

Excerpt from The Modern Mission Century; Viewed as a Cycle of Divine Working: A Review of the Missions of the Nineteenth Century With Reference to the Superintending Providence of God To trace, in the history of the missionary century just closed, the footsteps of God, is the one main end now in view; studying the divine plan, and its unfold ings in action and achievement. To know the supreme aim of a book helps to a right reading of it, and, if these pages are read in the light of this, its professed purpose, its form and content will, we hope, be found to agree with such design. Form, in its true sense, determines also content, for it is an idea taking shape. It must therefore be one with it self, and must both include and exclude, if unity and consistency are not lost.
