Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Time Student Volunteers: My Memories of Missionaries These missionaries in the foreign field, of whom sketches and memories are here given, are not selected from Gods great army-roll as those pre-eminently worthy of note. Perhaps it is all the better that this is so. They are in this record simply as those among the earlier missionaries whom the writer was privileged to meet and to know. They are from various missionary fields, and were sent out from different missionary societies, at different times. Therefore they may be considered as more fairly representative of foreign missionaries as a class, and as a whole. In order to limit the scope and field of his recorded memories, as distinguished from those with whom young student volunteers and other friends of missions to-day are personally acquainted, the writer has thought best to give no sketch of any missionary who was not in the mission field at least as early as fifty years ago. In this way his personal memories in the eventide of life may prove of interest and service to those whose recollections do not run back of these better, brighter days in Gods providence. Yet the writer regrets that the limitations which he has deemed best to apply to this record forbid his telling particularly of grand and efficient missionaries whom he has known and honored in these later days.
