Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Foreign Christian Missionary Society
It has been thought advisable that the history of the origin and achievements of the Foreign Christian Missionary So ciety should be told while some of the founders are still living. The names of the men and women who made the Society should be preserved in a permanent record. There are those now, and there will be others in the coming years, who will wish to know how the Society came into existence, who managed its affairs at home, who represented it on the field, the sources and growth of its funds, and a thousand and one other things of perennial interest. An added reason for this publication is found in the fact that arrangements are being made for the union of the Foreign Christian Missionary Society, the American Christian Missionary Society, the Christian Woman's Board of Missions, the National Benevo lent Association, and the Board of Ministerial Relief, to form the United Christian Missionary Society. It appeared de sirable that some account of what the Society did before the union should be published; what it will do after the union is another story. The writer of the History was chosen because he happened to be present when the Society was organized, and because he has been connected with it ever since either as a contributor or as an officer.
