Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Commencement Annual of the University of Michigan, Vol. 12: June 30, 1892
Each age in the life of the Christian church has been marked by some striking and distinctive characteristic. The age of primitive simplicity was followed by that Of struggle and Suffering. There was a period in which in great councils the intellectual giants of the early church laid deep and strong the theological foundations on which the church builded her confessions. There was a period in which the monastic life with its profound meditations on spiritual things and its inestimable services to learning was the most conspicuous feature in her history. During the last hundred years the missionary spirit has largely pre vailed and has carried the gospel to almost every nation.
