From the Preface: There is no field of literature which can supply more genuine thrills, adventures, and romance than that received from the missionaries stationed in the many different countries of the world. The adventures of mere travelers pale into insignificance beside the ordinary experiences of many missionaries. The oft-repeated lament of many religious leaders is that the wealth of mission literature is not in a form to appeal to the young people of the church. In an endeavor to meet this need, the present work was undertaken.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
