Excerpt from Missionary Heroes in Asia: True Stories of the Intrepid Bravery and Stirring Adventures of Missionaries With Uncivilized Man, Wild Beasts and the Forces of Nature
There are stories which are now among the classics of missionary romance. Such are the expedition of Hans Egede to Greenland, the lonely journeys of David Brainerd among the Indian tribes of the North American forests, the voyage of John Williams from one coral island of the Pacific to another in the little ship which his own hands had built, the exploration of the Dark Continent by David Livingstone in the hope of emancipating the black man's soul.
But among missionary lives which are more recent or less known, there are many not less noble or less thrilling than those just referred to, and the chapters which follow are an attempt to make this plain.
