Bible Studies and Missions.
12mo, cloth, net $1.25.
As Professor of Comparative Religion and Missions in the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary at Louisville, Dr. Carver has prepared
in these chapters the fruit of many years' study. His aim is to show
that the foundation principles of the Christian task of world
conquest are found in the Bible not so much in the guise of a
commanded duty as in the very life of the Christian faith.

Illustrated, 16mo, cloth, net 60c.
There can never be too many missionary books like this. A story
written with literary skill, the story of a girl's life in Korea,
her unhappy marriage and how the old, old story transformed her
home. It reads like a novel and most of all teaches one, on every
page, just what the Gospel means to the far eastern homes.
_ISABELLA RIGGS WILLIAMS_
=By the Great Wall=
Selected Correspondence of Isabella Riggs Williams, Missionary of
the American Board to China, 1866-1897. With an introduction by
Arthur H. Smith. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.50.
"This volume is a little window opened into the life and work of an
exceptionally equipped missionary. It was at Kalgan, the northern
gateway of China, that a mission station was begun amid a people
hard and unimpressible. It was here that Mrs. Williams won the
hearts of Chinese women and girls; here that she showed what a
Christian home may be, and how the children of such a home can be
trained for wide and unselfish usefulness wherever their lot is
cast. No object-lesson is more needed in the Celestial Empire than
this. Many glimpses of that patient and tireless missionary activity
which makes itself all things to all men are given."--_Arthur H.
Smith, Author of Chinese Characteristics, Etc._

Transcriber's note:
Minor punctuation errors have been corrected without note.
The phrase 'dung cake' was changed to 'dung-cake' in The Infidel:
"mass of fuel dung-cakes" to make it consistent with Old Sarah: "at
a fire of twigs and dung-cakes".
Where the use/non-use of the hyphen is either not clear, or used in
a consistent way, these have not been changed. These are
'dirty-white', 'well-known', 'first-class', 'second-class',
'third-class'.
Changed '--' to ',' in "beautiful wife, as fair" in the list of
illustrations for consistency with the caption and the text.
Inserted 'the' in the notes relating to The Continent of
Opportunity: South America-"of importance in _the_ South American
continent".
Replaced Krisha with Krishna in notes relating to the Modern
Missionary Challenge-"India's Problem, _Krishna_ or Christ?".
James Stewart's qualifications were actually D. D., M. D., F. R. G. S.,
