Daily Gleaner,
MONDAY, MAR. 4, 1959 A sermon by Rev Walter Foster, M.A. of Calabar. TEXT - St Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians, Chapter 2, verse 14: "For Christ Is our Living Peace" (Dr. J B. Phillip's Translation) . . . . Joseph Jackson Fuller, one of the great Jamaican Baptist missionary pioneers who spent forty years in West Africa, told the story in his old age of the time, when he was a little boy in Jamaica and a slave, he was given a Bible by the Rev. James Mursell Phillippo as a gift from an English boy. In 1892 he declared — 'That Bible sent by that boy — who he was I never knew — has made me what I am. It has carried me across the sea to Africa and has enabled me today to say that God has used me, imperfect as my efforts have been, to be a means in His hand of training at least forty young boys and men who today preach the gospel to their own brethren in their own country. So it is that the chain of love and peace stretches out around the world for 'Christ is our Living Peace' '. |
