Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life and Labours of Rev. Anselm Schuster: Late City Missionary in Belleville, Together With Some of His Articles Published in Our Mission, a Memorial Sermon by the Editor, and Miscellaneous Writings Bearing Upon the Mission
The popular lecture on his early life, conversion, entrance into the Ministry, and work among the Germans on the Ottawa, which our beloved brother so frequently delivered, was put into my hands for revision by Mrs. Schuster. It was my intention to have written a brief memoir of my dear friend. But finding the manuscript to have been carefully written, it became evident that I should let him tell the story of his life in his own words. The only change will be found in the division into Chapters with headings indicating their contents. This. I am sure, will answer the purpose Of the volume far better than to have given the lecture as it stands. At the same time, one has only to read on through the seven Chapters to have the lecture as delivered. Mr. Schuster himself told me Of the good to souls with which it had pleased the Spirit of God to bless what he called his humble effort. I feel certain that the many friends of the late esteemed City Missionary will like to possess his work as a memento of his life and labours. Mrs. Schuster is also encouraged by the thought that a lecture which was SO greatly blessed by God during the life-time Of its author, will still further be made instrumental in winning souls to Christ. With the conviction that this little volume will do good, I have pleasure in commending it to the public of Belleville and Canada, and to all who are interested in our mission, now so faithfully and successfully continued by Mrs. Schuster.
