Excerpt from The Bishop's Conversion
It so happens that at the present time India is the most prominent Of the great mission fields of the world, and it is therefore fitting that Mrs. Maxwell should have chosen that great empire as the field from which to draw her illustrations. In many important respects, however, these sketches will be found to represent faithfully scenes in China and other fields. All missions to non-christian countries possess many important features in common. The missionary's problems in one country reappear in another, and hence all foreign missionaries are drawn together when they meet as if by the bonds Of family relation ship. TO defend and help one is to hold up the weary arms of a hundred others. It may confidently be hoped, therefore, that Mrs. Maxwell's effort to speak a word'for her fellow-workers in India will prove of great service to all workers in all lands who belong to the great and growing host Of foreign missionaries.
