Excerpt from The Soul of America: The Contribution of Presbyterian Home MissionsIn its first century the Board was engaged in a great territorial expansion. It covered the breadth of the continent. In the last few decades it has added to this, topical expansion. The new frontiers are in new social, industrial and moral conditions. To meet them home missions must expand in directions not contem plated fifty years ago No longer merely a matter of virginal areas of land, it now must grapple with what comes after the land has been occupied. This book is an attempt to present the activities of the Board of Home Missions and the Woman's Board of Home Missions in view especially of the conditions that have demanded attention during the past genera tion.It is not claimed that these Boards have adequately met or fully solved these problems. The following pages will, however, indicate that they have some vision of new duties and are somewhat alive to new responsibilities.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
