PREFACE

The author acknowledges her indebtedness to the many persons who have furnished data for _The Story of Lutheran Missions_, and to those who have read the manuscript. The authorities consulted have been chiefly _The History of Protestant Missions_ by Gustav Warneck, D.D., _The History of Christian Missions_ by C. H. Robinson, D.D., _The History of Lutheran Missions_ by the Rev. Preston A. Laury, _Geschichte der evangelischen Heidenmission_ by R. Gareis, _The Lutheran Encyclopedia_ and _the Encyclopedia of Missions_, beside numerous magazine articles and reports. Only enough statistics have been included to indicate the size of each mission. With the book should be used such admirable books and pamphlets as _Missionary Heroes of the Lutheran Church_, _Our First Decade in China_, _The United Norwegian Mission Field in China_, _Our Colored Mission_, _Our India Story_, and the many interesting illustrated mission reports. _Above all, maps should be constantly referred to._

If the study of _The Story of Lutheran Missions_ gives to the reader, as its preparation has given to the author, a sense of the essential unity of the Lutheran Church and a renewed love for her and her history, it will achieve its purpose.
