Excerpt from Presbyterian Foreign Missions: An Account of the Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A The Bishop of Durham, whose devotion of his sons to the mission work in India has given evidence of the depth of his own interest in missions, recommended some time ago to the clergy of his diocese the study of the present conquests of the Cross. Scarcely any other study can be so fruitful in quickening spiritual purpose and confirming Christian faith. What the mission work is accomplishing is intelligible only in the light of the presence in it of the living power of God. The whole work of missions, however, is too great for Christians any longer to comprehend. Each one must make selection of those phases of it which are of most interest and significance to him. Whatever else may be included in such a selection, we surely must not pass over the mission work of our own Church. Histories of the missions of the various churches make this kind of study possible, and they also give hopeful proof of the power and extent of the missionary enterprise. This little volume is intended to meet the needs of Presbyterians in this regard, and to provide for others who may wish it a brief account of the foreign missionary work of the Presbyterian Church.
