Excerpt from The Missionary Enterprise: A Concise History of Its Objects, Methods and Extension
In view of all these facts, it becomes evident that not only did nearly every page of the earlier book need alteration, but in some respects the plan must be changed. The development of the missionary idea at home, and its execution abroad, have become so interlaced, that they cannot be dissociated. The churches influence the mis sions, but still more do the missions influence the churches. The same general principles, and much the same methods operate in both. If Evangelism is correctly defined as everything that helps to bring men to Christ, and Education as everything that builds men up in Christ, then both find their full manifestation in the organized church, whether native to America or Japan, to England or India, to Germany or Africa. Foreign missions give place to the Missionary Enterprise, the extension depart ment of the Kingdom of God.
There are therefore two parts, instead of three: the first outlining the general history, its movement, princi ples and methods; the second surveying the conditions, problems and progress in different sections.
