DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Heroes of the Cross in America The purpose in these pages has been to portray the leading characteristics and most striking experiences of some of the pioneer Heroes of the Cross in America. These men, and the great army of workers associated with them, were instruments of great power, used by God to make America Christian. Each character represents a great section and a special, but typical, work. Brainerd represents missionary heroism in colonial days in New England; Peck, brave pioneer evangelism in Missouri and Illinois; Whitman, dauntless zeal in the service of the Master on the extreme frontier, in the vast Oregon country; Dyer, self-sacrificing itinerant effort in the wild mining camps of Colorado; Ward, early pastoral evangelistic and educational effort in the Dakotas. The aim has been to present the wide scope, the immense value, and the tremendous cost in self-sacrifice and hardship, of the evangelization of the nation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Heroes of the Cross: Or Studies in the Biography of Saints, Martyrs and Christian Pioneers In selecting my examples, I have studied, first, variety, and second, novelty. As to the first point, I have brought together sketches of an English bishop, the founder of a great religious order, the mediaeval orator whose eloquence moved masses of men with eager sympathy, the great re former of Florence, a scholar missionary, an English matron, a Jesuit missionary. Resembling one another in their devout enthusiasm, they will be found to differ vastly in intellectual and moral characteristics, so that each presents a distinct type of the Christian life. With regard to the second point, I claim that this volume includes a number of biographies founded upon authorities not easily accessible to the general reader; some Of which are by no means so well known.
