The digital copies of this book are available for free at First Fruits website. > INTRODUCTION THE volume which is herewith presented to the public is the result of a suggestion made by the President and faculty of Auburn Theological Seminary, that I should prepare a course of lectures on Christian Nurture with especial reference to the Society of Christian Endeavor as a means of Christian training. Much has been written on this subject, but never to my knowledge has there been a systematic effort to set forth the great principles of Christian nurture as they are related to the modern young people's movement. However imperfectly I have succeeded, this volume is an attempt in this direction. Much new light has been thrown upon child nature by recent studies in psychology that tend to establish the principles which in a practical way have been confirmed by the experience of a multitude of busy pastors during the past twenty years. These lectures were delivered first at Auburu, then at Oberlin, and afterward in an abbreviated form at the Congregational Seminary of Chicago, at McCormick Seminary of the latter city, and also in the schools of the prophets at Andover, Bangor, Newton, Rochester, New Brunswick, and in the Union Seminary of New York. They have often been received by faculty and students with a favor which I felt was beyond their desert, but which, however undeserved, has encouraged me to accept the further suggestion of the President of Auburn Semi- nary, and prepare them for publication with the hope that in their printed form they may still accomplish something for the advancement of the Kingdom among the young. In the Appendix will be found. much information concerning the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor and its later developments, which has not before been brought together within the covers of one book. This method of Christian nurture seems to be receiving the renewed and continual blessing of God. Nearly four mil- lions of young people are being trained in such schools of Applied Christianity, and millions more have graduated therefrom. The Society is constantly growing in numbers, and I believe in spiritual grace, in America and in every other land. It will soon be twenty-one years old, and as this society "comes of age " and enters upon its years of strength and maturity, I would ask the prayers of every reader of this book that it may in the years to come modestly, efficiently, and more fully than in the past, prove a training-school for the Church of the Future.

The digital copies of these recordings are available for free at First Fruits website. place.asburyseminary.edu/firstfruits > Preface ENORMOUS difficulties are involved in the preparation of such a book as this, where the field to be covered is the world in space and more than one century in time. The best authorities have been used, and there has been an earnest endeavor to be accurate in all points, and to observe right proportions. The author has labored under a profound sense of the importance of his task. In spite of conscientious care, however, it is very likely that specialists in each of the many fields surveyed will discover errors or infelicities. The author earnestly invites all such persons, for the sake of the missionary cause, to write him regarding these points, that the book may become more nearly what it should be. Let it be kept in mind, however, just what kind of book is aimed at. This is a biographical history of modern missions. It might almost be called an anecdotal history. It is based upon the assumption, true in the writer's case and he believes in most others, that an interest in missionaries is the basis of an interest in missions. An attempt is here made to convey an impression of the great number of beautiful and heroic souls that have wrought to bring the world to its Redeemer. I have tried to show the variety as well as indicate the number of these splendid characters. Under severe limitations of space, I have sought to select, for each brief sketch, not necessarily what Doctor Dryasdust would consider most important, but the deeds and sayings by which the man is known and can be remembered. It is somewhat such a scheme that has made Stopford Brooke's " Primer of English Literature," though it treats even more briefly a greater number of persons, so brilliant and effective a text-book. Attention might be directed to three other purposes of this little book: ( 1) while relating, as all accounts of missions must relate, the lives of the eminent English and Continental missionaries, yet to emphasize, as no other book has emphasized, the work of our own American denominations; ( 2) to show the present distribution of that work; and (3) to combine missionary history and graphically present it in a series of cumulative chronological diagrams and simple maps that is, so far as I know, unique. I have supplemented these, in the section devoted to class-work, with plans for many more, with lists of the most accessible books of reference, with many suggestions for further study, and especially with sets of test questions on each chapter. These will be of value to the general reader as well as the student in a class. AMOS R. WELLS. Tremont Temple, Boston, Mass.
