Book Description

Excerpt from First Decade of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church: With Sketches of Its Missionaries The preparation of this volume was concerned early in the year 1878; but the work has been delayed longer than we anticipated, because of the time required to conduct the preliminary correspondence, extending, of necessity, to the ends of the earth. We have spared neither time nor pains to make the volume reliable. In the preparation of the sketches we have made no statements without most ample warrant, either from the missionaries themselves or from their own personal friends; and we would gratefully record our especial obligation to these persons for their prompt and generous aid. We propose to give our readers only a part of the history of our toilers in foreign fields. Just so much is presented as precedes and covers the first ten years of our Society.
