Excerpt from Heroes of the Mission Field To some who may read these pages, the very names of some of my Missionary Heroes will be strange. If so, I rejoice in giving a wider fame to men who deserve to be better known. Other names, however, will be missed which seem equally deserv ing of high memorial; but it must be remembered that this is not a history of all Missionary Heroes, but a selection of the most typical amongst them, and of those, moreover, who were sundered far from each other not only by time, but by distinctive peculiarities of work, and position, and character. It will be seen, moreover, that one or two names have been introduced which some might think had better have been omitted, but in my judgment they were necessary to the completion of my plan.

In between the two gulfs lay the Isthmus of Corinth to which the men on the ships were sailing and rowing.

Excerpt from Missionary Heroes: Stories of Heroism on the Mission Field There is a sense in which every missionary is a hero; for heroism must be inherent in every man who, for Christ's sake and the Gospel's, leaves home and relatives and friends and goes to a distant land to labour amid surroundings which, at their best, are not conducive to ease or comfort, and at their worst may be, and often are, positively dangerous.
