Brown, Arthur J. Foreign missionary: an incarnation of a world movement. **$1.50. Revell.
7–23292.
A text-book for the student contemplating going into the field. “Beginning with a statement of the missionary motive and aim, he describes simply and clearly the essential qualifications for the work, then passes on to a detailed account of the missionary’s relations to the society which sends him out, his duties to it, and its obligations to him. The principal arguments against foreign missions are briefly stated and answered, and the book closes with a striking portrayal of the modern missionary, not as a saint on a pedestal with a halo about his head, but as ‘preëminently a man of affairs.’” (Nation.)
