Contact seller5-star sellerWritten for the ministers and members of the Methodist Episcopal Church: "The life of a missionary, in a wild and uncultivated field, is far from being monotonous. He is constantly brought into contact with extremes. His life is often a checkered scene not all made up of thorns, not all of clouds and storms. The cheerful sunligh…t often breaks in upon his path. Hardship itself imparts a power of endurance not a gift of nature, enabling its possessor to frown down formidable obstacles. It is often the lot of missionaries to wade through the deepest trials and experience the greatest consolations. The sketches given in the following narrative, it is hoped, may not prove entirely uninteresting to the indulgent reader. Often it is the case that, in new and unsettled portions of the country, the travels and labors of missionaries form an important link in its after history. And without these, the history of the Church can not be fairly written' and unless the missionary make the record it is not likely to be made by others. Indeed, in many instances, none but he can make it." Corner tips rubbed. Head and foot of spine somewhat rubbed. Front and back fly-leaves foxed. One signature beginning to loosen slightly but overall binding is tight and book is very good. 8vo. Decorative blind stamped black cloth covered boards.431 pp. Illustrated with four engravings. (illustrator).
