Excerpt from The Call of Cathay: A Study in Missionary Work and Opportunity in China Old and New
AN important part of our Centenary Movement will be to foster missionary study throughout the Methodist Church, and particularly among young people. To this end it has been decided to issue a series of Centenary text-books for the use of Missionary Study Circles and this volume is the first of that series. It has been written with the needs of Study Circles in View, the general scheme of chapters and method of treatment conforming to the principles which have been tested and approved in the larger Study Circle Movement. The Committee is deeply indebted to Mr. Cornaby and his fellow missionaries, Messrs. Tope, Clayton, and Cooper, for their ready response to its request, and for the ability and devotion with which they have discharged the task undertaken.
