Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Missionary Ammunition for the Exclusive Use of Pastors, Vol. 1: The Pastor as a World Leader, November 1, 1916
As to this Opening number, the material is arranged in four parts. The first contains several preliminary articles as to the place of the pastor in the foreign missionary enterprise of his denomination, both in the matter of preaching and planning. In the second part we give a survey of the missionary situation in certain non-christian lands. This by way of acquainting our pastors with the outstanding conditions abroad - a sort of general background against which they can sketch in as many incidents and illustrations as they wish. The statement of the general situation is followed by a typical missionary incident, which should be quotable in a sermon or address, and a typical personality, either missionary or native, who may be described as representative of the work in that particular area. The third part describes certain missionary books of special interest to pastors. There follows as a fourth section A Sanctuary of Blis sions, which we hope the pastors will appreciate as a stimulus and guide to prayer in behalf of the world-wide enterprises of the church. Do we not all feel that intercessory prayer is our greatest need?
The second number in this series, to be issued about March 1, 1917, will be of an apologetic character, under the title, In Defense of Foreign Missions. There will follow a number in which we mean to gather the very best stories of missionaries of all boards and lands illustrative of how human lives are transformed by the gospel. Finally, there will be a biographical number.
