Missionary Remains: Or Sketches Of The Lives Of Evarts, Cornelius, And Wisner is a book written by Samuel Henson Cox, originally published in 1835. The book is a collection of biographical sketches of three prominent American missionaries who lived in the early 19th century - Jeremiah Evarts, John Cornelius, and Benjamin Wisner. The book begins with an introduction that sets the context for the lives of these missionaries, describing the religious and social climate of the United States during the early 1800s. The author then provides detailed biographical sketches of each of the three missionaries, highlighting their backgrounds, education, and missionary work.Jeremiah Evarts was a lawyer and editor who became involved in missionary work in the early 1800s. He played a key role in the founding of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) and was a vocal advocate for the rights of Native Americans. John Cornelius was a missionary to the Cherokee people and played a significant role in the establishment of the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory. Benjamin Wisner was a minister and missionary who served in India and later became the first foreign secretary of the ABCFM.Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the dedication and sacrifice of these missionaries, who left behind comfortable lives in America to devote themselves to spreading the gospel in distant lands. The book also provides insights into the challenges and opportunities of missionary work during this period, including the difficulties of language and cultural barriers, as well as the excitement of witnessing the growth of Christianity in new and unfamiliar places.Overall, Missionary Remains: Or Sketches Of The Lives Of Evarts, Cornelius, And Wisner is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the lives and work of three influential missionaries who played a significant role in the spread of Christianity in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
