Description
Excerpt from Mission Schools in India of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions: With Sketches of the Missions Among the North American Indians, the Sandwich Islands, the Armenians of Turkey, and the Nestorians of Persia
This volume does not so much represent my own views as it does the Views of my brethren in the foreign field, and Of the Officers of the American Board. Its chief aim is to gather up the most important facts, incidents, and results in the his tory Of our mission schools. In doing this it sometimes brings to view the discouraging details and patient, persevering toil involved in this work Of missions, but it also brings to view the rich and abundant blessing which God has bestowed upon such toil. Many pages will be found to develop the results Of our schools, in scenes and events as preciou''s and glorious as those Of the dayr of Pentecost.
In my efforts to let facts and the views of others rest on their authority rather than mine, and at the same time avoid cumbering my page with references and foot-notes, I have used frequent quotations. These may have interfered somewhat with a forcible style, but if so, it is hoped the ready authority they carry will furnish ample compensation.
Discrepancies and errors in dates may exist; but so far as a most laborious and patient examination Of manuscript and printed reports and letters from the missions, and of the or gans of the Board, could avail, all errors have been guarded against with scrupulous care.
