The Foreign Missionary An Incarnation Of A World Movement
Author: Arthur Judson Brown

The Foreign Missionary - An Incarnation of a World Movement By ARTHUR JUDSON BROWN Author of New Forces in Old China The New Era in the Philippines NEW YORK CHICAGO TORONTO Fleming H. Revell Company LONDON AND EDINBURGH To my Children Preface to Eighth Edition. SINCE the preface to the first edition was written, the scale of foreign missionary ... more »work has been greatly enlarged. The World Atlas of Christian Missions, issued in 1911, reports 21,307 foreign missionaries, 103,066 native workers, 3,838 principal stations, 34,7 19 sub-stations, 18, 964organized churches, 2,346,086 communicants, 28,957 Sunday Schools, a Christian constituency of 6,837,736, 86 colleges and universities, 522 theological and normal schools and training classes, 1,714 board ing and high schools, 292 industrial schools, 30,185 element ary schools, 115 kindergartens, 576 hospitals, 1 077 dispensa ries, 111 medical schools, 98 nurses training schools, 271 or phanages, 88 leper asylums, 21 homes for untainted children of lepers, 25 institutions for the blind and for deaf mutes, 21 rescue homes, 103 opium refuges, 15 homes for widows and 28 industrial homes while the amount contributed for the mainte nanceof this workwas 30,378,489. As these figures were based on returns for the year ending January 1st, 1909, and the growth has been still more rapid since that time, the present scale of missionary work is considerably greater than even these richly suggestive statistics indicate. It is more true now than when the words were first written, that the Foreign Missionary Enter prise is the vastest enterprise of the Christian Church and that a study of its personnel, its methods, its problems, and its re sults is one of the first duties of Christian men and women. For the help which kind friends have declared that this book has given to this study, the author is deeply grateful to God. 156 Fifth Avenue, New York City. A. J. B. November 15th, 1912. Contents f.

The motives must be powerful, for weak motives would not lead thousands of earnest men and women to spend their lives among uncongenial people, far from the associations and opportunities of home and country, nor would they induce the Christians of Europe and America to give millions of dollars annually for the mainte nance of the enterprise. In fact, various motives are involved. Some operate upon one class of minds and some upon another, and all of them do not appeal with equal force to the same person. For convenience they may be divided into two main classes, primary and secondary, though this classification is arbitrary and though there may be difference of opinion as to the class to which certain motives properly belong. Something depends upon the viewpoint. The primary motives may be reduced to three. a The Souls Experience in Christ. In proportion as this is genuine and deep, will we desire to communicate it to others. Propagation is a law of the spiritual life. The genius of Christianity is expansive. Its inherent tendency is to propa gate itself. A living organism must grow or die...
