Adoniram Judson's homes

[ljm14]

The foreword his biography by Courtney Anderson, To the Golden Shore states this summary of his life. It always moves me. It was quite a life.

Pictures of his homes here. If anyone has information about his Wenham and Braintree homes I'd be interested.

“The house is still standing yet time has encroached upon its former state and memories of Judson are now sadly removed. And in truth, that was the trajectory of his life: in navigator’s language, from latitude 42 degrees 25.75’ North, longitude 71 degrees 04.4’ West, to 10 latitude 13 degrees North, longitude 93 degrees East. The great circles of his navigation on our globe had certain intersections:
at an unidentified inn in western Massachusetts;
in a grove behind the Academy at Andover;
in the front room of a commodious house in Bradford;
in the Death Prison at Ava on the Irrawaddy;
beside a long open grave in the tigerish jungle below Moulmein;
in the harbor of the island of St. Helena;
in the city of Philadelphia;
at the seaport of Amherst by the Gulf of Martaban.
And there is a final trajectory on a curve only on Navigator can draw, to an intersection only one Navigator can locate.
This One issues a command:
All power is given unto Me in Heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the earth.
He obeyed it.”

Man, he experienced tremendous loss throughout his life

Thank you for posting this, ljm14! Adoniram Judson is one of my missionary heroes. God used him in a very unexpected way to reach the Karen tribespeople when he was aiming at the Burmese (and of course he saw many of them saved too)! We have had several of the spiritual heirs of Judson's evangelism come to our Bible college here in the US. Wonderful young people.

The best biography of Judson, I feel, is The Life of Adoniram Judson by his son. I was so blessed reading that!
