OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON VOLUME II. 
“Dr. Dennis treats the whole subject of ethics and of 
social order generally with great minuteness and in a most 
instructive way. He has done an inestimable service to the 
mission cause in so doing.”— Spectator . 
“ How great might be the impetus to mission interest in 
our midst if these volumes were made the basis of sermons 
all over the land.”— Expository Times. 
Dr. T. M. Lindsay says: “ Let me thank you warmly 
for Dr. Dennis’ splendid work on ‘ Christian Missions and 
Social Progress.’ It is in the highest degree interesting, and 
must be very useful.” 
“We confess at the very outset that we are only now for 
the first time reading the history of missions under the spell 
of an entrancing subject, a cultured writer, and a thoroughly 
impartial scrutiniser of facts.”— Dundee Courier. 
“The preparation of the volume must have involved a 
lifetime spent in collection of minute details and in careful 
sifting of facts from reports, and we know of no book 
approaching this in value as an encyclopedia of missionary 
progress, or of the Ascent of Man, through Christianity.”— 
Quarterly Register . 
* ‘ The book is a storehouse of information. It ought to be 
in every missionary library, and will be invaluable to all who 
speak or write on missionary questions.”— L.M.S. Chronicle. 
“ It is a storehouse of information, and the historian, the 
scientific man, and the Christian worker may alike find in 
the book facts and principles which will be of great use to 
them in their work.”— Daily Free Press. 
1 ‘ The positive social results achieved through Christianity 
are viewed impartially, with a wealth of evidence that 
becomes overwhelmingly convincing in the magnificent 
momentum that the argument gathers as it proceeds. This 
work, so far as we are aware, is the only really scientific and 
full examination in the English language into the sociological 
results of Christianity in mission lands.”— Puritan .
