  • Special attention has been called recently to the life and work of the Apostle Eliot by the observance of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of his first preaching to the Indians. New facts have been brought to light by recent investigations in respect to his life and work. It is quite possible at this time to form a more intelligent idea of his missions, and of their results, than it was even a generation ago. He is no longer regarded as an isolated missionary, a gifted and saintly man who stood quite apart from his environment; and entered upon a work which the men of his time did not appreciate; but rather as one who sought to carry out in definite and practical ways a missionary idea, which the Puritans had long before accepted, and which number of other men among the Colonists were also seeking to carry to successful results.
