Opis

Excerpt from A Circuit of the Globe He who goes abroad to visit strange lands and peoples, and comes in contact with strange scenes, customs, laws and languages, if he but have eyes to see and a mind to understand, can tell many things to interest and instruct those who are denied the privileges of such a journey. When the traveler who is to tell us the story of his travels is a man of cultivated mind, enriched by wide reading, and with a consecrated heart and life, who undertakes "A Circuit of the Globe," not from idle curiosity, but on a high and holy embassy, connected with the extension of Christ's kingdom in the world, and as the official representative of a great missionary society, his report of what he saw and heard, and his reflections thereon, possess a special and peculiar value. There are many globe-trotters in these days who go around the world without seeing or hearing anything that is of any great value to anybody. But this volume is the record of one who had been sent by his brethren to investigate the problem of missions in other lands, and especially to note the condition, progress and needs of our own missions in the Old World. It was at the national convention at Richmond, in 1894, that Prof. B. C. Deweese, at a proper place in the proceedings, presented a preamble and resolutions setting forth Mr. McLean's long and faithful service to the society, his unstinted labors and sacrifices to further its interests, his need of a rest, the encouragement that a visit from him would impart to our missionaries in foreign lands, and resolving that the society send him on a visit to our foreign mission stations, the details respecting time of departure, duration of tour, etc., to be left to his discretion after conference with the executive committee.
