Excerpt from Letters to a Missionary It seems desirable to explain the circumstances under which the following Letters came to be written. Early in 1917 I received a circular letter from the Rev. Stanley P. Smith, a missionary stationed at Tsehchowfu, in the south-east of the Chinese province of Shansi. In this letter Mr. Smith states that as long ago as 1885 he became the leader of a small party of young men (known as "the Cambridge Seven") who decided to devote their lives to missionary work in China. For seventeen years Mr. Smith worked in connexion with the well-known society known as the China Inland Mission, and then (about the year 1902) was asked to retire from the Mission owing to his "views on eschatology" - in other words, his refusal to believe in an everlasting hell. According to Mr. Smith's own belief, "eternal punishment" is an undoubted truth, because clearly taught in the Bible; he denies, however, that the term translated by the word "eternal" necessarily means "everlasting."

Excerpt from Diary Letters: A Missionary Trip Through the West Indies and to South America These simple, homey, Diary Letters have been written under many difficulties - on trains, in depots; aboard steamers, sloops, sailing vessels, on the seashore, by roadsides, with many interruptions, often sent off without correction. When one day Brother Finch startled me with the request that they be put in book form, I was reluctant even to consider it, but after much prayer and reflection, I decided if God could use them to awaken His people to a deeper interest in His work in these islands and the neglected continent of South America, that I would consent. So the Letters have been corrected, revised, and illustrated. I am greatly indebted to Brother Finch, whose untiring kindness in traveling over the entire field, and valuable information, with that of the other missionaries, has helped to make these diaries possible and interesting. If, through the reading, some are led to give their lives to the field, and others their means to carry on the work, I shall feel abundantly repaid. The proceeds of the sale go to the work in the West Indies and South America. We are grateful beyond expression to the Revivalist Family, and friends everywhere, whose prayers lifted and carried us through so graciously. To our Heavenly Father, whose beautiful care, protection, strength and guidance enabled us to carry out the trip and return, be the glory and praise forever.

Excerpt from The Conflict of Good and Evil in Our Day: Twelve Letters to a Missionary Instead of being tolerant, I believe it is the very perfection of intolerance. I believe when it has achieved its own. Victory, toleration will be the thing which above all others it will hate with an intensity short only of the hatred which the Evil Spirit has for the simple gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. 111.

Excerpt from Chinese Letter = Writing: For Missionaries The contents of this booklet were prepared to serve as notes for a course of lessons given at the Kuling Language School, but have been considered of use to the missionary community in general. From the Chinese point of view, a missionary's task is to get men to learn the Doctrine, by his first having learnt the language in which that Doc trine is to be expressed. It behoves him, therefore, to learn that language in such a manner as to gain respect for his message, whether it be delivered in a spoken or written form. For the latter, he may be inclined to trust entirely to his Chinese pundit, but both he and his message will command the greater respect if he be able, with his own pen, to write with some degree of fluency. Towards this end, he may gain practice through the medium of amateur letters to a few of his intimate Chinese friends for his faculties of composition for print in his own language have been gained, in the first instance, through practice in letter-writing to his own folks at home.
