Excerpt from Fifty-Two Primary Missionary Stories: Including 52 Drawings and Verses For a number of years it has been evi dent to those concerned in the education of children on the subject of missions, that material for the consecutive pres entation of the missionary cause to the young was difficult if not impossible to obtain. This situation confronted the Committee on Missionary Education, in the Reformed Church in America, when it undertook to provide graded lessons in missions for the children and young people of the churches. After giving much study to the problem, this Com mittee, appointed by the Mission Boards of the Reformed Church, decided that the way to begin the development of a missionary interest among young chil dren, was by means of simple stories, to be told by the primary teacher in the class, or by the mother in the home. This book is one result of that decision. In. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
