Clark, Henry Martyn. Robert Clark of the Panjab. **$1.75. Revell.
“This volume commemorates the life and work of a pioneer missionary amidst a fierce and fanatical people, in northwestern India.... The courage and gentleness, the energy and patience, the self-devotion and tactfulness of the ideal missionary were all illustrated in him, and he did not lack ‘the saving grace’ of a sense of humor. The narrative is blended with sketches of the land and the people, their ways, and the lights and shadows thence resulting. Especially noticeable are the indications of an active interest of both officers and privates of the British army in Christian missions, outrunning a timid policy of the civil government.”—Outlook.

Mr. Clark “approaches the problem of religion and the object of religious belief from the ethical standpoint. He proposes to treat religion, not as a science of God and his relation to man, but as an art, the ‘art of character-production.’ His book is itself evidence that the Christian religion is primarily a mode of life and conduct, rather than a system of science or philosophy.”—Am. J. Theol.
“Mr. Clark writes eloquently and persuasively. His argument would be stronger and more complete if he had pointed out in his chapter on ‘Christian self-culture’ how identification with Christ involves for man the realization of a definite ideal of service and self-sacrifice. But, on the whole, the book possesses rare merit, having a freshness of inspiration and a cogency of thought quite unusual among works of its class.” Henry W. Wright.
