Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Wesleyan Methodist Foreign Missions This History appears at a moment when the missionary spirit of Methodism has found memorable expression in the removal of a burdensome debt and a large addition to the annual income of the Society. The facts given in this volume abundantly justify the confidence of our Church, and show that the sacrifices it has made during the last century and a quarter for the spread of the gospel are bearing fruit for which we can never cease to be grateful to God. If the History helps in any measure to supply fuller knowledge of the work and workers of the past and the tasks of the present, the writer will be well rewarded for the enormous labour involved in preparing such a record. The history of each mission can be traced chronologically by following the references given in the Index. The penny History of A fissions may also be of service for more general distribution. The proof-sheets have been read by the Revs. J. Milton Brown, W. H. Findlay, M.A., and Henry Haigh, to whom the author is greatly indebted for many valuable corrections and suggestions. Miss Hellier has also kindly revised the passage about the Women's Auxiliary. Any help towards making the volume more complete and reliable at any point will be welcomed.
