Missionary Survey As An Aid To Intelligent Co-Operation In Foreign Missions
CHAPTER XI.
THE RELATION OF THE STATION TO THE WORLD.
A world-wide work can only be conducted on world-wide principles These world-wide principles must govern the work in every part, however small No country, however large, can be an isolated unit from missionary point of view How shall we gain a view of this large whole? We suggest that four tables would suffice for our purpose:-- (1) A table showing the force at work in relation to population (2) A table designed to reveal something of the character and power of the force (3) A table showing the relative strength expended in evangelistic, medical, and educational work (4) A table showing the extent to which the native Christians support existing work This is only a tentative suggestion proposed to invite criticism
