LAMBUTH, WALTER RUSSELL.[[2]] Medical missions: the twofold task. il $1 S. V. M. 266
20–9358
“The growth of medical work in Christian missions is a romantic chapter in the record of the extension of the kingdom of God on earth. The writer draws from a wide range of material and experience and presents the great work of medical missions in a most attractive form. The book furnishes a mighty appeal to the young man or woman who is looking forward to the practice of medicine and surgery as a life-work. One is forced to face the need of the world and to decide whether it is right to remain in one’s own land struggling for a practice, or whether it is far better to go where the need is desperate and invest life there.”—Bib World
“The pictures are well chosen; the specific examples of effective missionary service are stimulating; the field of study is wide and is surveyed with discrimination. An excellent book for private reading or class study.”

“Unfortunately the book is propaganda and the references to the adventures of the medical missionary are drowned in a misrepresentation of heathendom. Although he, Bishop Lambuth, does voice the cry for service in an antiquated religious idiom, he is really bigger than his creed and values humanity more than proselyting.”
