Charles Henry Mackintosh
Charles Henry Mackintosh (October 1820 – 2 November 1896) was a nineteenth-century Christian preacher, dispensationalist, writer of Bible commentaries, magazine editor and member of the Plymouth Brethren.
==Early life==
Mackintosh was the son of Captain Duncan Mackintosh, an officer in a Highland regiment. He is considered to be the older cousin of Charles Herbert Mackintosh." Charles Henry had a spiritual experience at the age of eighteen through the letters of his sister and the reading of John Nelson Darby's ''Operations of the Spirit''. In 1838 he went to work in a business house in Limerick, Ireland. The following year he went to Dublin and identified himself with the Plymouth Brethren. About 1874, Mackintosh reflecting on his course wrote, "I had not the honour of being among the first of those who planted their feet on the blessed ground occupied by Brethren. I left the Establishment about the year 1839, and took my place at the table in Dublin, where dear Bellett was ministering with great acceptance ... As a young man I, of course, walked in retirement, having no thought of coming forward in public ministry of any kind ... Indeed, I may say that nothing but the most solemn sense of responsibility could ever have induced me to stand up in public."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=C. H. Mackintosh (1820–96) )〕
In 1843 Mackintosh wrote his first tract entitled ''Peace with God''. When he was twenty-four years of age, he opened a private school at Westport〔 where he developed a special method of teaching classical languages. The Great Irish Potato Famine ("An Gorta Mor" – The Great Hunger) of 1845–1850 raged around this time and though the British Government had repeatedly attempted to relieve the desperate poverty among the Irish (following the Act of Union 1800), the intense and increasing suffering of the common people only worsened. During school holiday periods Mackintosh went around Co. Mayo preaching the gospel to the poor. The endeavour to run a boarding school in such a poor and famine-hit district caused Mackintosh to cease the enterprise in 1853: in February he told John Nelson Darby that "Nothing could induce him to go on with a boarding school".
For a while he tried farming. He wrote again to Darby on 31 August 1853, "I cannot resist sending you a few lines to tell you of the Lord's peculiar mercy and faithfulness to His unworthy servant since I last wrote amid much conflict of soul from various causes. I was led to preach a little from share of circumstances and gave myself entirely to the work to which, I feel convinced, He has called me. I earnestly desired, at the same time, if possible, to work with my hands and for this purpose, I bought a small farm. However the Lord did not suffer me to take such a thing, but called me into larger service than ever, and blessed be His name, owned the service most manifestly, while at the same time He most graciously passed in upon me far more than enough to meet all my need. I mention this to you, my beloved brother, because I knew how your heart is interested in the work and those engaged in it." It was not long before he concluded he must give himself entirely to preaching, writing and public speaking.
