Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pioneer Missionaries of the Church
The cordial reception which has been given in England, as well as America, to Great Mission aries, which was issued several years ago, has led to the preparation of this Volume. Since the noble men whose life story is brie?y told in these twenty six sketches were nearly all of them founders of missions, if not makers of empires, the title Pio neer Missionaries Seems the only one which clearly defines the scope of the book.
If the writer had been so inclined, the limits of space would have prevented any embellishment. It has not been an easy task to compress the main fea tures of the biography of a great man of whom the world is not worthy into a single Chapter, when one longs for two or three hundred pages to tell the thrilling story of toil and sacrifice and triumph. Brief as are these sketches, it is hoped they may be found to give the leading facts in the career of each of these missionary heroes, and that not a few of those who read the book, especially among the stu dents in our colleges, may be inspired to follow in their train.
