The Story of Our Missions (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from The Story of Our Missions

For some years many of the auxiliaries have based their study on the text-books issued by the Federated Boards of the Women's Missionary Societies of North America. The series has been invaluable as a means of education towards self-dependence in the outline of programmes and as an inspiration to greater zeal in the world missionary enterprise.

Now, at the further call of our membership, we are diverging into a line of study, based on the missionary efforts of our Canadian Presbyterian Church at home and abroad, and in line with the enlarged work undertaken by the women of our Church under the Women's Missionary Society.

The material for the several chapters has been gleaned from many sources, including letters, reports and pamphlets bearing on the subjects treated. Grateful acknowledgment is also made for the valuable aid given by missionaries and others, in particular the Rev. F. H. Russell for assistance on India, the Rev. J. U. Tanner, Superintendent of French Work, Miss Houston and the Secretaries of the W. M. Board, Miss Craig, late Secretary for Indian work, and also Miss Waters of the Woman's Board, New York.

The fields dealt with include all those with which the W.M.S. of the Western Division is in direct touch.
