Excerpt from Pioneer Work in Hunan by Adam Dorward and Other Missionaries of the China Inland Mission: With Portraits, Illustrations, and Map A recent study of the work of the China Inland Mission in Hunan has led the writer to believe that a record of that work is not unworthy of being published for the benefit of that ever increasing circle of readers interested in missionary effort. The story of Pioneer Work in that important province has in it much which entitles it to a place in the, romance of missions, and, as an illustration of patient labour rewarded after many days, it has its useful lessons.
