Excerpt from Wonders of Missions

The purpose of this book is not to narrate the story of Foreign Missions, but to illustrate it. No attempt has been made to present a comprehensive thesaurus of striking episodes in the course of missionary history. I suppose, were this to be done, not even the world itself could contain the books that should be written. The incidents and characters described, gleaned from many sources, may not transcend in interest or importance multitudes not here included. These have been chosen as typical and significant. They are set forth in the belief that, however familiar, they will serve afresh as a tonic to our faith and to our devotion.
