Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. 99 Chapters. Imprimatur. Excerpt: CHAPTER I BELIEVING AND DOING MORALS pertain to right living, to the things we do, in relation to God and His law, as opposed to right thinking, to what we believe, to dogma. Dogma directs our faith or belief, morals shape our lives. By faith we know God, by moral living we serve Him; and this double homage, of our mind and our works, is the worship we owe our Creator and Master and the necessary condition of our salvation. Faith alone will save no man. It may be convenient for the easy-going to deny this, and take an opposite view of the matter; but convenience is not always a safe counsellor. It may be that the just man liveth by faith; but he lives not by faith alone. Or, if he does, it is faith of a different sort from what we define here as faith, viz., a firm assent of the mind to truths revealed. We have the testimony of Holy Writ, again and again reiterated, that faith, even were it capable of moving mountains, without good works is of no avail. The Catholic Church is convinced that this doctrine is genuine and reliable enough to make it her own; and sensible enough, too. For faith does not make a man impeccable; he may believe rightly, and live badly. His knowledge of what God expects of him will not prevent him from doing just the contrary; sin is as easy to a believer as to an unbeliever. And he who pretends to have found religion, holiness, the Holy Ghost, or whatever else he may call it, and can therefore no longer prevaricate against the law, is, to common-sense people, nothing but a sanctified humbug or a pious idiot. Nor are good works alone sufficient. Men of emancipated intelligence and becoming breadth of mind, are often heard to proclaim with a greater flourish of verbosity than of reason and argument, that the golden rule is religion enough for them, without the trappings of creeds and dogmas; they respect themselves and respect their neighbors, at least they say they do, and this, according to them, is the fulfillment of the law. We submit that this sort of worship was in vogue a good many centuries before the God-Man came down upon earth; and if it fills the bill now, as it did in those days, it is difficult to see the utility of Christ's coming, of His giving of a law of belief and of His founding of a Church. It is beyond human comprehension that He should have come for naught, labored for naught and died for naught. And such must be the case, if the observance of the natural law is a sufficient worship of the Creator. Besides, morals are based on dogma, or they have no basis at all; knowledge of the manner of serving God can only proceed from knowledge of who and what He is; right living is the fruit of right thinking. Not that all who believe rightly are righteous and walk in the path of salvation: losing themselves, these are lost in spite of the truths they know and profess; nor that they who cling to an erroneous belief and a false creed can perform no deed of true moral worth and are doomed; they may be righteous in spite of the errors they profess, thanks alone to the truths in their creeds that are not wholly corrupted. But the natural order of things demands that our works partake of the nature of our convictions, that truth or error in mind beget truth or error correspondingly in deed and that no amount of self-confidence in a man can make a course right when it is wrong, can make a man's actions good when they are materially bad. This is the principle of the tree and its fruit and it is too old-fashioned to be easily denied. True morals spring from true faith and true dogma; a false creed cannot teach correct morality, unless accidentally, as the result of a sprinkling of truth through the mass of false teaching. The only accredited moral instructor is the true Church. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Monsembe : Baptist Missionary Society, 1900. 'Imprimerie "Hannah Wade", Baptist Missionary Society, Bolobo, Haut Congo, E?tat Inde?pendant du Congo'(title page verso). Small octavo (174 x 121 mm), original pebbled red cloth over boards, upper board with stamped lettering and decoration in black; front pastedown with pencilled name of early owner Charles W. Carter, pp 79; text in Lingala; a very good copy; loosely inserted is a folded card inscribed in pencil: 'Congo Hymn-Book inLokeli Dialect. From Yakusu. Presented by Rev. Millman to C. W. Carter'. Hymns translated into Lingala by missionaries J.H. Weeks, W.H. Stapleton, C.J. Dodds, H.T. Stonelake and others. This association copy was given by English missionary Richard Millman,one of the most important figures at the Yakusu Mission in the Congo, to C. W. Carter, author of A half century of American Wesleyan Missions in West Africa (Syracuse, 1940). Lingala(Ngala) is aBantu languagespoken in what are today the northwest of theDemocratic Republic of the Congo, the northern half of theRepublic of the Congo, their capitals,KinshasaandBrazzaville, and to a lesser degree inAngola, theCentral African Republicand southernSouth Sudan. 'Yakusuwas a mission in theDemocratic Republic of the Congo, on theCongo Riverjust west and downstream ofKisangani.TheBaptist Missionary Societymission was established between 1895 and 1896 at the highest navigable point of the Congo, just below the Stanley Falls. The Stanley Falls zone consisted of strips of land 20 kilometres deep along both banks of the Congo betweenStanley FallsandIsangi. It was declared a free trade zone, where the state abandoned its interests to private enterprise. The people of the region included theLokele,Turumbu, Bakumu, Wagenya, Bamanga and Tovoke. The mission embarked on a program of educating local people, who in turn became teachers in village schools. With high demand, often the education of the teachers had to be rushed. By 1905 the mission had 3,200 pupils at 70 rural schools in the zone. Initially, the mission was on good terms with the authorities. However, as their influence grew there were rumours that the British planned to take over the region. In January 1907 the governor-generalAlbert Lantonnoisordered the district commissioner of the Orientale Province to take vigorous measures to counter the influence of the Protestants. A medical mission hospital was built at the Yakusu mission in 1920. The hospital was designed by architect Arnold Chesterman and was led by his brother Dr.Clement Clapton Chesterman. Dr. Chesterman developed a network of community clinics staffed by Congolese to address the epidemic of sleeping sickness. The mission treated numerous tropical diseases. In 1938 with the work of Stanley George Browne it became a leprosarium. During the colonial era from the 1930s to the 1960s Yakusu was a center of missionary and medical activity. Nurses were trained as both evangelists and health assistants. In the early 1930s the localMbole peoplebegan to be pressed into working on plantations and building roads. The Yakusu doctors were no longer allowed to use porters, and instead took to motorbikes, while the nurses used bicycles. There was a leprosarium across the river atYalisombo.' (Wikipedia).
