John G. Paton, Missionary to the New Hebrides: An Autobiography (Classic Reprint)

Overview

Excerpt from John G. Paton, Missionary to the New Hebrides: An Autobiography

Love is omnipotent. Wherever true passion for souls burns, there we may find a new Mount of Transfiguration where the earthly takes on the complexion of the heavenly.

This book presents an example of the power of such love and holy enthusiasm, alike in one of the great cities of Scotland and in the isles of the sea.

Even among the riches of missionary biography few such volumes as this are to be found, and the most apathetic reader will find himself fascinated by this charming romance of real life. It has been well said that he who is not ready to peach the gospel everywhere and anywhere is fit to peach it nowhere Should every condidate for the office of the ministry be first tried in some such field as the wynds of Glasgow, it would prove a training in its way more profitable than any discipline in the class-room; and it might so shake the "napkin" at the four corners as to disclose whether or not there were in it even one "talent" for winning souls.
