Description
Excerpt from The Autobiography of Theophilus Waldmeier, Missionary: Being an Account of Ten Years Life in Abyssinia; And Sixteen Years in Syria
Many friends have repeatedly asked me to write down my experiences in Abyssinia and Syria. I have hesitated for many reasons, but finally I have thought it good to comply with their wishes. Some years ago I wrote a book in German about my ten years' residence in Abyssinia which was translated into French, Swedish, and Arabic, but not into English. As I have the privilege of knowing so many dear friends in England and America I have therefore written this Autobiography in the English language. My great aim in doing so is to show forth to the reader how wonderfully our heavenly Father has led me from my early childhood until the present time. Not only in the beautiful highlands of Abyssinia, where the greatest and most wonderful events of my life have taken place, but in Beirut and Mount Lebanon also I have experienced the overshadowing power of the Almighty. I therefore say with the Psalmist, "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things" (Psalm lxix. 18).
