Author Description

Excerpt from Medical Missions Their Place and Power IN CE the third edition of this work was sent forth to the public, its author has been called from service here, to nobler service in the presence of the King. Now that a fourth edition is needed, some of the friends of Medical Missions have suggested that there should be in this new issue a likeness of the author, and also a short sketch of his life-work - so intimately were his life and work intertwined, that in his case life and work seemed one. In preparing the following sketch, lest the partiality of love should in any way detract from its worth, we shall compile rather than compose, and quote the opinions of others, rather than give our estimate.
