Missionary Review of the World: August Number Overview
THOSE who wish a broad and intelligent view of the work of the kingdom of God at home and abroad cannot fail to find great satisfaction in reading the August number of the Missionary Review of the World. It opens with a masterful article on “Problems of Missions,” by the editor-in-chief, Dr. Pierson, who discusses some of the difficult questions which face the missionary to foreign fields of labor. Dr. Griffith John, the veteran missionary of Hankow, tells the wonderful story of “The Chang-Sha Deed,” and the entrance of the gospel into Hunan, China. The progress and conflict of “Romanism and Protestantism in France” are interestingly described by Rev. Ruben Saillens, of Paris; “Missions and Protestantism in Germany,” by Prof. George F. Schodde, and “The Anti-Clerical Movement in Spain,” by a French pastor. The work in home fields is set forth in articles on “The Doukhobors of Canada,” by Miss Nellie Baker, and on “Rescue Mission Work,” by Margaret Blake Robinson, of New York. Other articles of interest deal with the Philippines, Lifu Islands, the International Missionary Union, and Jewish missions.
