When did Orson Hyde dedicate Jerusalem?
October 24, 1841. "Now, O Lord! Thy servant has been obedient to the heavenly vision which Thou gavest him in his native land; and under the shadow of Thine outstretched arm, he has safely arrived in this place to dedicate and consecrate this land unto Thee, for the gathering together of Judah's scattered remnants, according to the predictions of the holy Prophets -- for the building up of Jerusalem again after it has been trodden down by the Gentiles so long, and for rearing a Temple in honor of Thy name. Everlasting thanks be ascribed unto Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou hast preserved Thy servant from the dangers of the seas, and from the plague and pestilence which have caused the land to mourn. The violence of man has also been restrained, and Thy providential care by night and by day has been exercised over Thine unworthy servant. Accept, therefore, O Lord, the tribute of a grateful heart for all past favors, and be pleased to continue Thy kindness and mercy towards a needy worm of the dust."

The way to deal with gossip is to not participate in it at all. Gossip is a bad thing because when we gossip about someone or a particular thing about that person, we are saying things that might not be true but just our opinion. This can cause hurt feelings and we don't want to ever intentionally hurt a persons feelings. If, you are with someone who starts gossiping about someone else, tell them you would rather not talk about it or just simply change the subject quickly. Gossip never accomplishes anything accept hurt feelings and misunderstandings.

How did the Africans feel about the missionaries?
From the lighter side(!);
My very young son once said, " Some African people thought missionaries were very tasty and boiled them before eating. "
- Most of the Africans who don't have any faith in GOD but who still believe in statues do not accept the missionaries and they kill them or eat them as they think it is legal and fair to punish them in this way...
- In most of the Africans countries,it is not accepted to preach because it is illegal to preach the name of JESUS which is not the formal religion of the African countries because the formal religion of the African countries is the Islam religion...but it is always depending on the country itself...we should respect the laws and the regulations of all the countries
What must have been allowed by the Romans for Christianity to spread so far and wide?
By the third century, Christianity was well established in and around Greece and the Middle East, as well as in Rome, Alexandria, Carthage and a few cities such as Lyons in the 'barbarian' western Europe.
Christianity had largely failed to penetrate Egypt outside Alexandria, or much of western Europe. Even Italy, outside the city of Rome, seems to have largely resisted Christianity. It seems that the Egyptian and Celtic religions had not entered a period of decline and scepticism in the way that the Greco-Roman religion had done. However, there was no impediment to Christians preaching in those areas, other than a lack of interest on the part of the population.
Christian tradition suggests that the Christians suffered constant harrassment and persecution by the Roman authorities. However, Euan Cameron (Interpreting Christian History: The Challenge of the Churches' Past) says, "Contrary to popular tradition, the first three centuries of Christianity were not times of steady or consistent persecution. Persecution was sporadic, intermittent, and mostly local." Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) goes further and, on a number of occasions, praises the pagan Romans for their general tolerance towards Christianity. Widespread and persistent persecution of other faiths only really began with the Christian Empire.
There was a total of perhaps 12 years of official persecution of Christianity during nearly three hundred years in which Christianity existed in the pagan Empire. Otherwise, the Christians were largely allowed to worship as they pleased, and even to proselytise their faith, as long as they took care not to offend others or disturb the peace. This allowed Christianity to prosper and spread far and wide.
Most people who become missionaries do so because they feel that God is directing them into that path. They desire to serve others, using the gifts that God has given them, whether that be pastoring, medical service, or teaching. Many missionaries also enjoy travel and adventure, which is definitely a part of the job.
