Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Picket Line of Missions: Sketches of the Advanced Guard
WE here present for our Reading Course a book which we trust will inspire the hearts of all Epworthians with a freshened enthu siasm for Christian missions. Nothing seemed more likely to effect this than to bring our young people into close touch with the hearts and life work of a select number of our noble missionaries, some sainted, others still living. While some of the characters here sketched are not as famil iar as others that might have been chosen, yet each, one is truly heroic, and the writers were well fitted for their task, all by genuine sympathy, and some by long and intimate acquaintance with, their subjects. We are sure that the book will well repay a careful reading.
