Excerpt from At Our Own Door: A Study of Home Missions With Special Reference to the South and West "Oh! that mine adversary had written a book." The secretary of home missions recognizes the risk of authorship, but necessity compels the venture. The Southern Presbyterian Church in less than a decade will celebrate its Semi-Centennial, and yet whilst it has been engaged largely in home missionary efforts, it has never produced a book on home missions. The demands for literature on this subject are numerous, widespread and urgent. The Chattanooga Conference of Young People on Missions, held on Lookout Mountain, July 1-8, 1903, challenged the secretary to prepare such a manual of home missions, as would provide the young people of the church a text-book for systematic study of this great department of Christian work. The succeeding volume is the answer to that challenge. The author indulges the hope that it will furnish an array of facts, which will not only instruct the young people, but stimulate their organizations, ladies' societies, Christian workers, churches, and ministers of the Gospel to greater usefulness in the Master's vineyard.
