Excerpt from The FrontierThe last five years have given us a new frontier. This book attempts to scan its out line and mark a few Of its home missionary opportunities. The task is fragmentary and incomplete, as sources Of information are meager. That conditions are unprecedented and the missionary situation critical is evident.While blazing the way, we have endeavored to point out strategic positions and call atten tion to certain centers where multitudes are gathering for a momentous world movement.The Church will doubtless meet this situa tion by volunteer brigades and forced marches.A reader Of American History and Its Geo graphic Conditions, by Ellen Churchill Semple, and The History of the Pacific Northwest, by Joseph Schafer, also The Conquest of Arid America, by William E. Smythe Will readily note my indebtedness in chapters one and two to these books.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
