Rowe, H: Judson and the Gospel in Burma (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Judson and the Gospel in BurmaThis is the third of four articles furnished for our quarterlies by Prof. Henry K. Rowe of Newton Seminary. They were first delivered as a series of talks before a Men's Bible Class, in Eliot church of that city, and awakened so much interest that it seemed desirable to give them a wider circulation, especially in view of their adaptation to the centennial year of the American Board. The'first article, Around the World 'a Hundred Years Ago, gave, a graphic picture of the world as it existed eighteen hun dred years after Jesus Christ had been born. The second narrowed our vision to conditions in India, taking William Carey, the father of mod ern missions, as the central figure. This one carries our thought to Burma, a land made im mortal by the heroic life and achievements of Adoniram Judson and co-laborers. Prof. Rowe brings out very clearly some of the reasons, one of them being the absence of caste, why this great territory, lying between the giant empires of India and China, has proved a good soil for the seed of Christianity. In few fields has the principle of self-support been carried to such success. He has also depicted the character of Judson in a way to make his work ~as a pioneer, and his deep personal experiences, stand out in shining light against the dark background of those days of early struggle.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
