Description
Excerpt from China and Formosa: The Story of the Mission of the Presbyterian Church of England, With Many Illustrations Prepared for This Work and Four Maps
The likenesses of Missionaries have been a source of much anxiety and trouble, and are far from'' being what I would desire. It was found impossible to get all, although they were written for a year ago. Many are left out whom it would have been a pleasure to have inserted; and I must ask to be excused by some whose likenesses are inserted without permission being received. The great purpose in printing them is to enable those at home to know and pray for the labourers in the field with more intelligence and sympathy. The difficulties in the way of getting any large number of likenesses of Chinese pastors or preachers in a satisfactory form was found insuper able. Those introduced are far from satisfactory.
