  Poland, the Knight Among Nations With Introduction by Helena Modjeska.
Poland is worth knowing—it is interesting. How could it be otherwise when it gave us Copernicus, Kosciusko, Chopra, Paderewski and Sienkiewicz. Not much has been known about the people because they have been hard to get at. Mr. Van Norman went to Cracow, won the hearts of the people, was treated like a guest of the nation and stayed till he knew his hosts well, and he here conveys an extensive array of information. The Continent of Opportunity: South America
Dr. Clark writes from a thorough-going tour of examination, covering practically every centre of importance in China and America To-day
Dr. Smith is one of America's ablest representatives at foreign courts. He is not so accredited by the government of this country, but rather chooses to be known as a missionary to China. In this capacity he has learned much of China which in another relation might be denied him. Being a statesman by instinct and genius, he has taken a broad survey of conditions and opportunities and here presents his criticisms of America's strength and weakness abroad. Ancient Jerusalem
This work will immediately be recognized as authoritative and well nigh final. Dr. Merrill, as the American Consul, has lived at Jerusalem for many years, and has given thirty-five years of thorough, accurate study and exploration to this exhaustive effort. It contains more than one hundred maps, charts, and photographs. Palestine Through the Eyes of a Native
The author, a native of Palestine, has been heard and appreciated in many parts of this country in his popular lectures upon the land in which so large a part of his life was spent. His interpretation of many obscure scriptural passages by means of native manners and customs and traditions is particularly helpful and informing. MISSIONARY The World Missionary Conference
A whole missionary library by experts and wrought up to the day and hour. The Conference has been called a modern council of Nicea and the report the greatest missionary publication ever made. Vol. 1. Carrying the Gospel. Echoes from Edinburgh, 1910
The popular story of the Conference—its preparation—its management—its effect and forecast of its influence on the church at home and the work abroad. An official publication in no way conflicting with the larger work—which it rather supplements. Fifty-three Years in Syria
"A rich mine of information for the historian, the ethnologist and the student of human nature apart from the labors to which the author devoted his life. A thoroughly interesting book that will yield endless pickings."—N. Y. Sun. Christianity and the Nations
Among the many notable volumes that have resulted from the well-known Duff foundation Lectureship this new work embodying the series given by Mr. Robert E. Speer in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, will rank among the most important. The general theme, "The Reflex Influence of Missions Upon the Nations," suggests a large, important, and most interesting work. Korea for Christ
An effective report of the recent revivals in Korea told by an eye witness, who himself participated in the work. A History of Protestant Missions in the Near East
A companion volume to "A History of Missions in India," by this great authority. The progress of the gospel is traced in Asia Minor, Persia, Arabia, Syria, and Egypt. Non-sectarian in spirit, thoroughly comprehensive in scope. The Modern Missionary Challenge
These lectures, by the author of "India's Problem, Sketches from the Karen Hills
These descriptive chapters from a missionary's life in Burma are of exceptional vividness and rich in an appreciation for color. His pen pictures give not only a splendid insight into native life, missionary work, but have a distinctive literary charm which characterizes his "Soo Thah." The Unique Message and Universal Mission of Christianity
A volume dealing with the philosophy of missions at once penetrating and unusual. It is perhaps one of the most original and valuable contributions to the subject yet made. Winners of the World During Twenty Centuries A Story and a Study of Missionary Effort from the Time of Paul to the Present Day. Cloth, net 60c.; paper, net 30c. Children's Missionary Series Illustrated in Colors, Cloth, Decorated, each, net 60c. Children of Africa. James B. Baird. The Foreign Missionary
Dr. Brown, out of a long and intimate experience deals with such questions as: Who is the Missionary? What are his motives, aims and methods? His dealings with proud and ancient peoples. His relation to his own and other governments? His real difficulties. Do results justify the expenditures? How are the Mission Boards conducted? etc., etc. The book is most intelligently informing. The Conquest of the Cross in China
The contents of this book were first delivered as lectures to the students at Colgate University. Mr. Speicher has the true instinct of the news bringer. He has lived in South China long enough to know it thoroughly. He is distinguished by common sense in his judgments, made palatable by a free literary style. China in Legend and Story
By one of the C. M. S. best known missionaries. It consists of seventeen stories, true to legend or to fact, ten of them studies of the Chinese people as they are when heathen, and seven of them of the same people when they become Christians. The stories cover a wide range of social life, representing every class in the community, from mandarins to thieves and beggars. As Mr. Campbell Brown is a keen observer, and wields a graceful pen, the book is unusually interesting and valuable. A Typical Mission in China
"The book is comprehensive, instructive, well written, interesting and valuable in every way. Those who read it will get such a glimpse into Chinese life and methods as they may never have had, and will certainly be edified and stimulated to a new zeal in the work of missions."—Herald and Presbyter. Robert Clark of the Panjab
"The record of one of the makers of Christian India: as fascinating as a novel, and immensely more profitable. The more widely this book is circulated and read, the better it will be for the missionary enterprise. A book of this character is the best apologetic that can be written."—Missionary Intelligencer. MISSIONS, BIOGRAPHICAL The Life of Dr. George Brown
"Since the appearance of John G. Paton's Autobiography we have read no work of such entrancing interest. It is a narrative of this pioneer missionary's forty-eight years of residence and travel in Samoa, New Britain, New Ireland, New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands."—British Weekly. The Black Bishop
"The simple life-story, told mainly by himself, of a West African who was a kidnapped slave when a boy of fifteen and forty-three years later became the first negro bishop of the Church of England. Much information is given beside the biographical details, about the problems presented by the Nigerian peoples to their white rulers and particularly of the extent, influence and probable future of the Mohammedan invasion."—Nation. D. M. Thornton
"The Student Movement" says: "It is likely to dominate the thoughts of the missionary thinker for many years." Devoted largely to experiences in Egypt and lessons gathered on this field—it tells of a man who devoted his intellectual powers to thinking out the wider problems of the evangelization of the world and the spread of Christian institutions in Mission lands. The Life of George Grenfell,
"This may be regarded as a companion volume to Sir Harry Johnston's 'George Grenfell and the Congo'—it was, indeed, originally arranged that Sir Harry Johnston and Mr. Hawker should collaborate in a single volume as a memorial to one of the greatest names in the annals of equatorial Africa."—London Times. Stewart of Lovedale
"We may heartily congratulate Dr. Wells on having written a book that will live, and more than that, a book that will create life wherever it is read."—Dr. Robertson Nicoll, in the British Weekly. TRAVEL, MISSIONARY The Call of Korea
"As attractive as a novel—packed with information. Dr. Underwood knows Korea, its territory, its people, and its needs, and his book has special value which attaches to expert judgment. Particularly well suited to serve as a guide to young people in the study of missions."—Examiner. Missions in the Plan of the Ages
As Professor of Comparative Religion and Missions in the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary at Louisville, Dr. Carver has prepared in these chapters the fruit of many years' study. His aim is to show that the foundation principles of the Christian task of world conquest are found in the Bible not so much in the guise of a commanded duty as in the very life of the Christian faith. Daybreak in Korea
There can never be too many missionary books like this. A story written with literary skill, the story of a girl's life in Korea, her unhappy marriage and how the old, old story transformed her home. It reads like a novel and most of all teaches one, on every page, just what the Gospel means to the far eastern homes. By the Great Wall
"This volume is a little window opened into the life and work of an exceptionally equipped missionary. It was at Kalgan, the northern gateway of China, that a mission station was begun amid a people hard and unimpressible. It was here that Mrs. Williams won the hearts of Chinese women and girls; here that she showed what a Christian home may be, and how the children of such a home can be trained for wide and unselfish usefulness wherever their lot is cast. No object-lesson is more needed in the Celestial Empire than this. Many glimpses of that patient and tireless missionary activity which makes itself all things to all men are given."—Arthur H. Smith, Author of Chinese Characteristics, Etc.
Ex Libris The Canadian School of Missions
Minor punctuation errors have been corrected without note. The phrase 'dung cake' was changed to 'dung-cake' in The Infidel: "mass of fuel dung-cakes" to make it consistent with Old Sarah: "at a fire of twigs and dung-cakes". Where the use/non-use of the hyphen is either not clear, or used in a consistent way, these have not been changed. These are 'dirty-white', 'well-known', 'first-class', 'second-class', 'third-class'. Changed '--' to ',' in "beautiful wife, as fair" in the list of illustrations for consistency with the caption and the text. Inserted 'the' in the notes relating to The Continent of Opportunity: South America-"of importance in the South American continent". Replaced Krisha with Krishna in notes relating to the Modern Missionary Challenge-"India's Problem, Krishna or Christ?". James Stewart's qualifications were actually D. D., M. D., F. R. G. S., see: The Romance of Missions in Africa told in the Life of James Stewart, D. A., M. D., F. R. G. S. (not corrected).
