Excerpt from Ion Keith-Falconer of ArabiaIon keith-falconer takes his place among Master Missionaries in virtue Of the circumstances which marked his dedication to the work and the in¿uence he exerted. Of noble birth and brilliant scholastic gifts, possessing wealth, a lover Of sport and champion cyclist, he relinquished the cer tainty Of a distinguished career in England to pioneer a mission amongst the Muslims Of Southern Arabia. In his brief span Of life there be accomplished little, but the work he initiated continues, and the inspiration Of his character and example has been deep and wide-spread. It is a question whether such a record as is here presented by one who has the privilege Of following in his footsteps is not better fitted to produce recruits for the mission field than biographies more charged with tales Of successful achievement.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
