Excerpt from Organization and Methods of Mission Work: Being Part III. Of "a Concise History of Missions"

It was originally intended as simply Part III. Of A Concise History of Missions, in course of preparation, but is published in this form in advance, to meet what has been represented as an immediate want in connection with the study of missions by Student Volunteer Unions, Chris tian Endeavor Societies, mission bands, and other similar organizations. The first section of the complete book will give a survey of the develop ment of the missionary enterprise of the Church, while the second will take up the different fields. It is evident, therefore, that this division must to an extent presuppose certain statements in those sections, and occasional references of the kind will be found. The same fact will explain the meager account, and sometimes the entire omis sion, of facts which are not immediately germane to the special topic in view.
