Excerpt from Just Before the Dawn, the Life and Work of Ninomiya Sontoku The work here, presented to. the public is, in my estimation, one of the most important hitherto coming from the field of Canadian Missions. Christian Missions in Japan, China, and India have to deal with problems very different from those presented in Missions to the native tribes of our own country or of Africa. These nations have an intellectual, moral, and religious history which cannot be ignored by those engaged in the work of Christian Missions among them. The more thoroughly we understand their moral and intellectual attitude, character, and ideas, and sympathize with their needs as well as appreciate that which they hold of truth, the more likely are we to do them good and to help them to more excellent things. But the utility of such studies, as are here presented, is not confined to the missionary and his work. The scientific student who is interested in the study of man, especially in his moral and religious development, will find most important material for his purpose in this work of Mr. Armstrong.
