Excerpt from The Miracles of Missions, or the Modern Marvels in the History of Missionary Enterprise These observations of Dr. Christlieb have suggested the somewhat emphatic title of this book. We have chosen to call it The Miracles of Missions, notwithstanding the objections frequently urged to the use of the word miracles for it must be remembered that a miracle, as the word indicates, is noth ing more nor less than a wonder to which God appeals as a sign of divine presence and power; and all that we mean by this term as now used is that, in the history of modern missions, there are amazing wonders of di vine interposition and human transformation which admit of no adequate explanation if we deny the divine element. The author would simply add, before pre senting a few of these instances somewhat in detail, that the impression with which he began these studies, now more than thirty years ago, has daily and hourly increased as these studies have been further prosecuted. With these prefatory remarks we submit to the candid judgment of the reader the testi mony of missionary biography and history.
