Excerpt from Foreign Missions: Being a Study of Some Principles and Methods in the Expansion of the Christian Church

The following pages are merely an essay. They can lay no claim to completeness, and more experienced eyes will convict them of many inadequacies besides those of which I myself am conscious.

We may sometimes be irritated by the seeming lethargy of our Church, and its activity in the Mission Field does not always compare favourably with that of some other communions.

But it is probably true to say that the Church of England takes more interest in the Mission Field now than it has done at any period since the Norman Conquest.

Missionary meetings are many, and the output of missionary literature of various kinds has become so large that it is impossible to maintain an acquaintance with it all. To prevent being lost in a maze of detail, I have tried to consider the missionary work of the Christian Church as a whole. I have tried to set forth shortly the grounds upon which missionary enthusiasm rests, to sketch the missionary history of the past, and to offer some suggestions as to methods of maintaining and extending interest in missions, and of equipping missionaries for their work.
