Excerpt from A Memoir of the Rev. Robert Turlington Noble, B.A. Of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge: Missionary to the Telugu People in South India I have been requested by some of my late dear brother's most valued friends - earnest supporters of the cause of missions to the heathen - to write a Memoir of his life, and especially of his labours among the Telugu people of South India, where, with untiring zeal, for twenty-five years be exerted himself in educating the higher castes of Hindus, in order to raise up a Native Christian Ministry. There God graciously granted him such success that his school in Masulipatam has become one of the best in India.' There a goodly number of Brahmins, and young men of high caste, have been instructed in sound learning; and some, at the risk of life and earthly goods, have nobly renounced their idolatry and caste distinctions, and openly professed the faith of Christ, and are now preaching the Gospel to their brethren. I have felt it a duty to comply with this request; and I consider it a privilege, and trust it may prove a blessing to others, to trace such a life from its first commencement in Divine grace, through a long course of industry, self-denial, and benevolence, with its varied trials and successes, to its final triumph over sorrow and death. It was a noted saying among the wiser heathen, To see a good man struggling with adversity is a sight worthy of the gods.' St. Paul, in similar language, tells us on Divine authority, We are a Spectacle to God, to angels, and to men.' If this be true of all Christian men, how especially is it applicable to the Christian Missionary in heathen lands! For where are such important conżicts car ried on, and where such great and lasting interests involved? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
