Book Description

Excerpt from Along the Lines at the Front: A General Survey of Baptist Home and Foreign Missions Many omissions which may be noted in the following pages in records of travelling experience and missionary incidents will be found supplied in Mrs. Bainbridge's book, Roand-t/ze World Letters, and in another she is preparing, entitled Glimpses of Mission se in Many Lands. It has not been possible, in the limits of this book, to make many references to the work and workers Of other denominations; but the reader is referred to the general volume on Christian missions mentioned on the title-page, with the assurance that it was the endeavor of the writer therein to give a universal survey of evan gelistic work in such form as to encourage the desire of all for the information. A thorough appreciation of Baptist missions demands acquaintance with all other missions. Our track crosses Bible lands, and this time by way of Babylon and Nineveh. Yet upon these pages I cannot linger, however tempting the détour, but must again ask the reader who may desire to accompany me into the lands of sacred story to turn to a volume I hope soon to publish, entitled From tko Garden of Eden to tko Isle of Patmos: A Complete T our of Et'ole Lands.
