Пра гэту электронную кнігу
The Rev. Thomas Gowles, well known in Colonial circles where the Truth is valued, as Òthe Boanerges of the Pacific,Ó departed this life at Hackney Wick, on the 6th of March, 1885. The Laodiceans in our midst have ventured to affirm that the world at large has been a more restful place since Mr. Gowles was taken from his corner of the vineyard. The Boanerges of the Pacific was, indeed, one of those rarely-gifted souls, souls like a Luther or a Knox, who can tolerate no contradiction, and will palter with no compromise, where the Truth is concerned. Papists, Puseyites, Presbyterians, and Pagans alike, found in Mr. Gowles an opponent whose convictions were firm as a rock, and whose method of proclaiming the Truth was as the sound of a trumpet. Examples of his singular courage and daring in the work of the ministry abound in the following narrative. Born and brought up in the Bungletonian communion, himself collaterally connected, by a sisterÕs marriage, with Jedediah Bungleton, the revered founder of the Very Particular People, Gowles was inaccessible to the scepticism of the age.
His youth, it is true, had been stormy, like that of many a brand afterwards promoted to being a vessel. His worldly education was of the most elementary and indeed eleemosynary description, consequently he despised secular learning, and science Òfalsely so called.Ó It is recorded of him that he had almost a distaste for those difficult chapters of the Epistles in which St. Paul mentions by name his Greek friends and converts. In a controversy with an Oxford scholar, conducted in the open air, under the MartyrsÕ Memorial in that centre of careless professors, Gowles had spoken of ÒNicod_mus,Ó ÒEub_lus,Ó and ÒSteph_nas.Ó His unmannerly antagonist jeering at these slips of pronunciation, Gowles uttered his celebrated and crushing retort, ÒDid Paul know Greek?Ó The young man, his opponent, went away, silenced if not convinced.
