Book Description

Excerpt from Narrative of a Mission of Inquiry to the Jews From the Church of Scotland in 1839, Vol. 1 We have had specially in view the people of the parishes of Scotland, feeling it our duty and our privi lege, as ministers Of Christ in the Church of Scotland, to promote the cause of the Jews among our brethren. If the Church Of Scotland in these perilous times, take hold of the skirt Of the J ew, God may remem ber her for Zion's sake. The work has been long delayed, longer than was de sirable, but this delay was unavoidable. During at least twelve months after returning home, scarcely a week passed wherein we did not receive some call to visit this or that other parish in order to tell orally the things we had seen and heard. And even now, when at length we have found time to sit down and write these records of our journey, it has been amidst the incessant demands for parochial labours, to which every pastor is daily subjected, and which he feels to be imperative.
