FOR MISSIONARY WORKING-PARTIES.
These are of such very different composition that all that can be done here is to suggest books bearing on varieties of Mission labour at home and abroad, such as may interest either cultivated ladies, middle-class women, or very young people.
659. Home Workers for Foreign Missions. By E. J. Whately. (R.T.S.) 1s. 6d.
A remarkably sensible, clever book. Should be read by all beginning a working-party, to show them what to do and what not to do.
660. Black and White. By H. Forde. (S.P.C.K.) 3s. 6d.
Short sketches of home and foreign missions admirably sandwiched together.
661. Pioneers and Founders. By C. M. Yonge. (Macmillan) 6s.
Brief biographies of English and American missionaries.

A short life of Bishop Patteson.
664. An Elder Sister. By Frances Awdry. (Bemrose) 4s. 6d.
The lives of Charles Mackenzie, first Bishop of Zululand, and his fellow-worker and sister.
665. Our Maoris. By Lady Martin. (S.P.C.K.) 2s. 6d.
Very life-like accounts of work in New Zealand almost from the first settlement, often droll, always striking, taken from letters written at the time the events happened.
666. Three Martyrs of the Nineteenth Century. (S.P.C.K.) 3s. 6d.
Short biographies of Dr. Livingstone, Bishop Patteson, and General Gordon.
667. A Wider World. By Crona Temple. (S.P.C.K.) 1s.
An attempt to show how interest in missionary life enlarges the whole mind and interest. The execution is not equal to the conception, but, such as it is, it may be a useful opening of the subject.
668. New Ground. By C. M. Yonge. (Walter Smith) 3s.
Story of a missionary’s family in Natal chiefly founded on letters from the Mackenzie family.
669. Life of Bishop Venables of Nassau. By Rev. W. H. F. King. (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) 3s. 6d.

Brief and very interesting biographies of two noble-hearted missionary bishops.
671. Ten Years among the Coloured Folk.
This is an American clergyman’s experience among the emancipated negroes of Baltimore. (A small book, about 2s., can no doubt be procured through Sampson Low.)
672. Dust Ho! By H. A. Forde. (S.P.C.K.) 2s.
Descriptions of home mission work.
673. Master Missionaries. By Dr. A. H. Japp. (Unwin) 3s. 6d.
The life of General Oglethorpe, with which this begins, is very curious and interesting. Fit for the educated.
674. Effie and her Ayah. (S.P.C.K.) 1s. 6d.
675. Little Tija. (S.P.C.K.) 1s.
Short studies of Indian child life, suited to a simple audience or those including children.
676. Alone among the Zulus. (S.P.C.K.) 1s. 6d.
The veritable adventures of a lady, some twenty years ago, when she went to attend a brother who had fallen sick on a hunting expedition.
677. Mrs. Poynter’s Missionary Box. (S.P.C.K.) 2d.
May be useful in showing how these can be used.
678. My Two Years in an Indian Mission. By H. F. Blackett. (S.P.C.K.) 1s. 6d.
A vivid picture of actual mission work by the clergy; full of interest in both town and country work.
679. Ten Years in Melanesia. By the Rev. Alfred Penny. (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) 5s.
680. Mission Work in British Guiana. By the Rev. W. G. Brett. 3s.

Missionary work in British Columbia.
684. Straightforward. By H. A. Forde. (Church Extension Society) 1s.
May be reckoned as properly a tale of adventure; but as it results in intercourse with the Papuans, it might serve well for a work party needing something of a story to keep up their attention.
685. Our Navvies. By Mrs. Garnett. (Hodder) 3s. 6d.
An excellent book that should be read whenever it is desirable to interest people in navvy missions.
686. A Promise Kept. (See [No. 572].)
