Excerpt from Knights of the Labarum: Being Studies in the Lives of Judson, Duff, Mackenzie and Mackay The author hopes that in addition to a mastery of these outline facts, the user will read the fuller, and hence more living and interesting, volumes from which he has derived most of his information. Several readings have been sug gested by chapter or page'at the close of each chapter, and in classes some of these, at least, should be read and re ported upon as valuable side-light material. Only thus can the greatest profit be derived from these studies. Leaders Of classes should possess a full biography Of each of the lives outlined e, and the following are suggested as the best now in pri' The Life of Adoniram Judson, by his son, Edward Judson, 1883, A. D. F. Randolph Co., New York; the two-volume-in-one edition, published by the American Tract Society Of New York, of The Life Of Alexander Duff, D. D., LL. George Smith, LL. D., 1879; John Kenneth Mackenzie, Medical Miss ionary to China, by Mrs Bryson, Fleming H. Revell Company, New York and Chicago; and, A. M. Mackay, Pioneer Missionary Of the Church Missionary Society to Uganda, by his Sister, 1890, A. C. Armstrong Son, New York. The principal reason why these four have been chosen from among the many mighty men on the mission field is that they represent four different lines of missionary effort, as well as four different countries. A broader view of missionary life is thus secured than would have been the case if representatives of one land or Of one phase Of work were studied. This will partly account for the omission Of some missionaries equally famous, though additional rea sons for choosing these rather than others have also been Operative. Thus the latter part Of Lifipgstone's life, like that Of Dr Peter Parker's, was only indirectly missionary, and both had severed their connection with missionary or ganizations. Again, Bishop Patteson and Dr Paton are omitted, because both of them labored in a field which has comparatively little connectional interest for American stu dents, while in the case Of Dr Paton, an additional reason for neglecting so marvelous a life is the fact that it has not yet reached its completion.
