Life and Work in India, an Account of the Conditions, Methods, Difficulties, Results, Future, Prospects and Reflex Influence of Missionary Labor in ... Presbyterian Church of North America New

It presents the surroundings, the details and the results of Christian pioneer work, especially as they are exhibited in the great field of modern missions I ndia. And it strives to do so in a fuller and more systematic form than that of any single volume now before the public. A concrete case is made the chief source of illustration, so as to give unity, vividness and point to the narrative; and naturally the example selected for this purpose is that one with which the writer is most familiar and in reference to which he can speak from personal observation and experience. But this case is largely a typical one, and in all its main features resembles that of most other missions in I ndia; while, in many of its characteristics, it bears a stronof likeness to foreign missions in every part of the world. Moreover, differences, when they do exist, are frequently noted. Hence the author expects his book to be read with interest, not only by members of his own church, but also by Christians of every name. Considerable attention is given to missionary problems, and the arguments, or materials, required for their solution are frequently presented.
