The Clever Mrs Straithwaite
“There is a slang injunction to ‘keep your eyes skinned.’ That being out of my power, I habitually ‘keep my ears skinned.’ You would be surprised to know how very little you hear, Louis, and how much you miss. In the last five minutes up there I have had three different newsboys’ account of this development.”
AKLI CANLANDIRMAK
Rakibinizle sonu gelmez gibi görünen bir çarpışmaya girdiğiniz zaman, tümüyle farklı bir teknik kullanmak çok önemlidir. Bir yandan rakibinizle dövüşmeyi sürdürüp bir yandan aklınızı ve tekniklerinizi canlandırırsanız, onu yenecek en uygun ritm-zamanlama fırsatını bulursunuz. Rakibinizle karşılıklı olarak hamleniz kalmayınca, onu yenebilmek için tümüyle farklı bir yöntem kullanmalısınız.

Taken together, Renewalists grew nearly four times faster than both the Christian population and the world population from 1910 to 2010. As a result, Renewalists at the time of this writing made up between 25 and 30 percent of all Christians. In 2010 Latin America had the largest number of Renewalists in the world (especially Brazil), but Africa was close behind and may soon take the lead. The region in which Renewalists were growing the fastest was Asia. The five countries with the most Renewalists were Brazil, the United States, China, Nigeria, and the Philippines.
Protestantism also spread in Korea. In 1960 one in twenty Koreans identified as Protestant. By 2010 that number was one in four. In 2020 Korea was home to five of the world’s largest churches, the largest of which, Yoido Full Gospel Church, began in 1961 and was believed to have 800,000 members in 2018.
Carey took up the five objections that people raised against missions to heathen lands: their distance, their barbarism, the danger that would be incurred, the difficulties of support, and the unintelligible languages. One by one he answered these. The same obstacles had not prevented the merchants from going to distant shores. “It only requires,” he wrote, “that we should have as much love to the souls of our fellow creatures, and fellow sinners, as they have for the profits arising from a few otter skins, and all these difficulties could be easily surmounted.”
