More Fascinating than Fiction
THE ADVANCE GUARD OF MISSIONS
“Our young people need missionary biography, and I hope this is just the book that will inspire them to go and do likewise.” “It is indeed intensely interesting. I am sure that it will awaken the people's interest in missions—not only the young, but the older ones as well.” “I do not see how it can fail to stir up a missionary spirit in those who read it, whether old or young.” Do you know Marcus Whitman, the missionary physician to the American Indians? His famous ride from Oregon to the nation's capital in the dead of winter, visit to President Tyler and Secretary Webster in a garb of wild animal skins, recruiting of 1,000 emigrants, and return to the West and his beloved Indians, are all told in one of the chapters. Multiply this fascinating, helpful story by fifty, and you get some idea of the value of the book from an interest-sustaining standpoint alone. In this 347-page book, you learn of some of the providences of God, and of the wonderful work done by John Eliot, David Brainerd, the Wesleys, Christian Schwartz, William Carey, Robert Morrison, the Judsons, Dr. John Scudder, Robert and Mary Moffat, David Livingstone, J. Hudson Taylor, William Miller. Prized by those who have a copy.
