His Map and Description of New England was published in 1616, and he became a colporteur of this, beseeching everywhere a hearing for his noble scheme.
"You are sent out by a society, I think?" said Aunt Elsie. "It is mostly Bibles that you sell?" "Yes; it's mostly Bibles that I carry with me." There was a pause. The colporteur sat looking into the red embers, with the smile on his face which Christie had found so attractive.
The hold was arranged with a view to being converted into a chapel on Sundays, and it was decided that, in order to keep it clear on such days, the trawl should not be let down on Saturday nights; a large medicine-chest which was afterwards reported to be "one of the greatest blessings in the fleet," was put on board; the captain made a colporteur of the Bible Society, agent for the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society and of the Church of England Temperance Society.
He's what's called a colporteur. That," he turned to O'Donovan with his explanation, "is a kind of Scripture reader, you know." If any one in the world except Malcolmson had suggested the employment of a Scripture reader for the distribution of The Loyalist, I should have applauded a remarkable piece of cynicism. But Malcolmson was in simple earnest. "Will you be able to get him?" I said.
He succeeded in making his escape to the house of a friend outside of the city walls. The colporteur made his escape over the wall of the city and fled to the house of some friends in the suburbs near the river-side. The insurgents are members of a secret society. For very many years there has existed in this region a society by the name of 'Thian-te-hoe, Heaven and Earth Society.
"Don't people die on Mondays and Saturdays?" said the colporteur, for such he was. "It would be a bad job if we could only have the Bible on Sundays.
The first is, `Though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson they shall be as wool. The other is, `It is God who giveth us the victory." Bones started and looked at his companion. It seemed as if the missionary had caught up and echoed the parting words of the colporteur.
The colporteur read and there in the dining hall before the curious onlookers knelt and poured out his heart to his Heavenly Father. He called down the blessing and the favor of God upon the family. The tears poured down his cheeks as he lifted his soul in this prayer. After he finished praying Mr. Vidal said, "I have never heard prayer like that. Teach me how to do it.
The missionary replied that he would, and then the girl explained how the Bible came to this community. One evening a colporteur approached her father's door and asked for entertainment, saying he had been refused by several families along the way. To the host's inquiry as to why he had been refused entertainment for the night the colporteur said: "They declined because I am a Protestant."
Stanhope has no money, and lives by this affair." Daumer and Miss Evans appear to have seen nothing odd in relying on an anonymous letter about Lord Daniel Alban Durteal! Lord Stanhope, says Miss Evans, 'was known to have subsisted principally upon the sale of his German hymnbook, and other devotional works, for which he was a colporteur. Weary of piety, Lord Stanhope became a hired assassin.
