"The Service of Missions to Science and to Society." By M. W. Keen, M.D., LL.D., American Baptist Missionary Union, Boston, Mass. Price, ten cents.
This little brochure, very neatly printed, is the presidential address delivered before the American Baptist Missionary Union, at Dayton, Ohio, May 21, 1906, by Dr. Keen. It reviews the evolution of missions, demanding in later days trained experts as well as earnest Christianity, the manifold services of the missionary, the development of the medical missionary, the gospel of cleanliness, the vices common on heathen soil, and the effect of mission work in changing these conditions. This thoughtful address certainly presents facts that are worthy of the consideration of him who is interested in missions.
