FOREWORD 11 
From old volumes, some of which have long been out of 
print, from current missionary journals, and from mission- 
aries still living among savage peoples, information has been 
gathered. It has been a pleasure to assemble the statements 
of so many of God’s servants, and bring them within the com- 
pass of one volume. Gratefully acknowledging my indebted- 
ness to all those from whose works I have drawn, I now 
send forth this story of pioneer missionary endeavor with 
the earnest prayer that it may bless its readers, and prove 
to be an inspiration to many whose interest in foreign mis- 
sions makes missionary effort everywhere possible. 
C. H. Watson.
