Opis

Rev. Dr. John Gibson Paton was a Protestant missionary to the New Hebrides Islands of the South Pacific. Constantly under threat of death, Paton preached faithfully to the islands of the New Hebrides, raising a family there. Paton also raised great support for world missions at home in Scotland and inspired hundreds of missionaries to also take up the Great Commission and make disciples of all nations."EVER since the story of my brothers life first appeared (January 1889) it has been constantly pressed upon me that a YOUNG FOLKS EDITION would be highly prized. The Autobiography has therefore been re-cast and illustrated, in the hope and prayer that the Lord will use it to inspire the Boys and Girls of Christendom with a wholehearted enthusiasm for the Conversion of the Heathen World to Jesus Christ."A few fresh incidents have been introduced; the whole contents have been rearranged to suit a new class of readers; and the service of a gifted Artist has been employed, to make the book every way attractive to the young. For full details as to the Missionarys work and life, the COMPLETE EDITION must still of course be referred to."JAMES PATON.GLASGOW, Sept, 1892.
