Considerations on Foreign Missions: Addressed to Candidates for the Holy Ministry (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
No one can so forcibly present the claims of Missions as the man who is himself a missionary. Hence there is an urgency in the appeals of Hall, Ward, and Swan, which is almost irresistible. And this might seem to stamp with presumption, if not insincerity, the attempt of a domestic pastor to enlist men for the foreign service. Physician heal thyself, might seem a very natural rejoinder. This, hovcver, is simply a prejudice ;and the flaw of the objection is betrayed as soon as we hold it up to the light; for the true ground upon which the claims of Missions should be rested, is the broad foundation of the Christian ministry itself And therefore every minister is culpable if he has not, even in his most private toils, the spirit of a missionary. He who becomes a pastor, rather than an evangelist, from fear, selfishness, lukewarmness, or pride, is as unfit to preach in the city as in the wilderness.
