in the King's Service Author:Charles R. Watson A MISSION STUDY COURSE ALONG BIOGRAPHICAL LINES - 1905 - PREFACE - The Bible is written largely biographically, said a leading Bible student, and I am glad for that, because I take great interest in a mail when I dont take great interest in a thing. Should not these lives, spent in the Kin, S service and done here in ink and paper, lead many to ... more »a better understanding of the true character, the joy, and the glory of that service May it not be, too, that they will bring many even into the I ing7s presence This is the purpose of their writing. This book gives the life records of but six men and vomen three from each of the two mission fields to which special attention is called, Egypt and the Punjab, India. Others have been in the Icings service and have received their promotion many others are still rendering heroic service to the Icing and His kingdom. 6 Preface To all these, this book makes no reference. It lays no claim to completcness. Its character was determined by the material available, the writers v110 would co-opcrate, and the requiremcnts of a mission study course for the Young Pcoplc of the Uilitcd Presbyterian Church. It will bc found, l owcvcr, that thc livcs here prescntcd, call up for study different phases of the grcat missionary enterprise. In the stutly of these lives, evcry questioning reader will be led far aficld into a study of geography, history, religions, social customs, and missionary methods. For the guidance of all such, supplementary helps have been placed in the back of the book. - CONTENTS - IV. XNIIREW GORDON- THE FOUNDIN O G F A I S S I O N , BY REV. D. K. GORUOX . VZ.
