Excerpt from Missionary Life in Samoa, as Exhibited in the Journals of the Late George Archibald Lundie: During the Revival in Tutuila in 1840-41The Editor of these journals had spent many hours over them, which generally were begun with mourn ing, but led gradually to thankfulness and praise, when the idea arose, that like the lepers regaling in the deserted camp of the Syrians, we ought not to feast alone. We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's The idea became more vivid, till by degrees conscience was enlisted in the cause, and the result is, that to the household of Our King this little work is humbly and affectionately offered. The mixed character of the subjects may require some apology. In attempting to strip the missionary intelligence of all the private matter, it was found to be deprived, not only of its verisimilitude, but also of much of its interest. For the observations of one who was not a member of the mission band, are less.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
