Excerpt from In the Track of the Storm: A Report of a Visit to France and Belgium, With Observations, Regarding the Needs and Possibilities of Religious Reconstruction, in the Regions Devastated by the World War In the spring of 1919 I visited France and Belgium, at the request of the Board of Managers of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, to ascertain, if possible, what should be done to assist the evangelical churches of those countries in their reconstruction work after the great war. From France and Belgium I wrote several letters to the Board of Managers, which I am now requested to release for publication. Often these letters were written late at night, when the brain was feverish, or on crowded railway trains, which fact, I trust, will serve as a sufficient excuse for any apparently hurried composition. Since these personal letters are to be published, it seems well to add portions of the more formal report of my visit to France and Belgium, and other related material. However, the small volume is intended as nothing more than a recital of a few personal observations and impressions. It is in no sense a handbook on any phase of reconstructive effort in the track of the storm. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
