Richards, Thomas Cole. Samuel J. Mills, missionary pathfinder, pioneer and promoter. *$1.25. Pilgrim press.
The life of Samuel J. Mills follows closely the founding and promulgating of American foreign missions. The influences brought to bear upon his awakening to the subject of missionary work, his education, and contemporary plans for the beginning of definite work in heathen lands, and later his own untiring efforts at home and on the Dark continent which was his passion, furnished material for a full and thoroly subjective study of the man and his work.
