Excerpt from The World of Missions: The Societies, Field Agencies, and Successes of Protestant Missions The world of missions is a vast and far-reaching subject. Hundreds of books would not, perhaps, exhaust it. I cannot, in the limits assigned a lecture, attempt much beyond the giving of an outline of the beginning and progress of the great and growing work of Protestant missions. The history of the rise and course of the modern missionary movement, brief as it is, is a history of noble sacrifices, of Herculean endeavors, of marvelous successes. It has been less than two centuries since the first Protestant missionary society was formed, and less than one century since the work of converting the heathen was actively and earnestly begun. The results have been wonderful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
