Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Firing Line With the Sunday-School Missionary The study of missions in the homeland is incomplete without a review of the labors of the Sunday-school missionary. A cause which has assumed such proportions as this within the short space of a quarter of a century, and upon which the Presbyterian Church is expending more than two hundred thousand dollars annually, is worthy of prayerful study and investigation. The Presbyterian Church at large has been sadly lacking in knowledge of Sunday-school missionary work. It is a form of missionary effort which has a sphere distinctly its own, cultivating fields beyond the reach of the activities of any other benevolent board of the church, and producing results that should satisfy the most exacting. Indeed it is a frequent remark of those who are led to examine into the details of its operations, "I had no idea our church was engaged in missionary work of that kind; I want to have a share in it." It seemed proper, therefore, that the cause should be presented in all its aspects and in concrete form, as a live missionary issue; not a history of the work of past years, interesting as that would be. Neither could it be a biography of the faithful workers who have labored so self-sacrificingly on the firing line, some of them for a quarter of a century; though that of itself would form an inspiring record of missionary service.
