Product Description

Excerpt from Origin and Progress of the German Missions in the Methodist Episcopal Church: Including an Account of the Christian Experience of Some of the Converts From Popery and Infidelity, as Furnished by Themselves In arranging the materials for the present work, the author has done the best he could, for the limited time allowed him from his ministerial and other pressing engagements. Whether it should be favorably or unfavorably received by the Christian public, he will have the satisfaction of having discharged, what, after due reflection, he deemed a duty - that of snatching from oblivion some important facts calculated to strengthen the hands and encourage the hearts of the friends of missions. When our German missions were commenced, we had but one solitary missionary in the field. Some of our brethren were in favor of giving up this small beginning; and concluded that our operations and success could be but very limited. Others, again, appeared to be confident that new fields of usefulness would open, and that the Lord of the harvest would convert and send forth men competent to the work. And such, to a wonderful extent, has been the result. Some of the very first German converts in Cincinnati, and other places, have become devoted and successful missionaries.
