As Professor of Comparative Religion and Missions in the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary at Louisville, Dr. Carver has prepared in these chapters the fruit of many years' study. His aim is to show that the foundation principles of the Christian task of world conquest are found in the Bible not so much in the guise of a commanded duty as in the very life of the Christian faith.

There can never be too many missionary books like this. A story written with literary skill, the story of a girl's life in Korea, her unhappy marriage and how the old, old story transformed her home. It reads like a novel and most of all teaches one, on every page, just what the Gospel means to the far eastern homes.

=By the Great Wall=

Selected Correspondence of Isabella Riggs Williams, Missionary of the American Board to China, 1866-1897. With an introduction by Arthur H. Smith. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.50.

"This volume is a little window opened into the life and work of an exceptionally equipped missionary. It was at Kalgan, the northern gateway of China, that a mission station was begun amid a people hard and unimpressible. It was here that Mrs. Williams won the hearts of Chinese women and girls; here that she showed what a Christian home may be, and how the children of such a home can be trained for wide and unselfish usefulness wherever their lot is cast. No object-lesson is more needed in the Celestial Empire than this. Many glimpses of that patient and tireless missionary activity which makes itself all things to all men are given."--_Arthur H. Smith, Author of Chinese Characteristics, Etc._

Transcriber's note:

Minor punctuation errors have been corrected without note.

The phrase 'dung cake' was changed to 'dung-cake' in The Infidel: "mass of fuel dung-cakes" to make it consistent with Old Sarah: "at a fire of twigs and dung-cakes".

Where the use/non-use of the hyphen is either not clear, or used in a consistent way, these have not been changed. These are 'dirty-white', 'well-known', 'first-class', 'second-class', 'third-class'.

Changed '--' to ',' in "beautiful wife, as fair" in the list of illustrations for consistency with the caption and the text.

Inserted 'the' in the notes relating to The Continent of Opportunity: South America-"of importance in _the_ South American continent".

Replaced Krisha with Krishna in notes relating to the Modern Missionary Challenge-"India's Problem, _Krishna_ or Christ?".

James Stewart's qualifications were actually D. D., M. D., F. R. G. S., see: The Romance of Missions in Africa told in the Life of James Stewart, D. A., M. D., F. R. G. S. (not corrected).
