Missionary Survey As An Aid To Intelligent Co-Operation In Foreign Missions

CHAPTER IV
4/12

We append then a table to reveal this:-- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ | Area of Races, Castes, | Remarks and | Religions, etc.

| Conclusions | | Proportion of Population | | -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Proportion of Christian | | Constituency derived from| | -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ We cannot possibly supply the table complete for all areas in the world.
We suggest that such a table kept up to date would reveal not only facts useful to illustrate the progress of the Christian faith, but also to show the progress of aggressive non-Christian religions such as Mohammedanism.
Then we want to know what is the emphasis put on different forms of missionary work, evangelistic, medical, educational.

Here we come to a difficulty.

Medical missionaries, thank God, do evangelistic work, and so do educational missionaries, and one day we shall learn that the evangelistic missionary, technically so called, is doing a most important educational work, and often truly medical, healing work.

The division is a technical one and missionary-hearted men begin to resent it; they are all evangelic in their work, if not technically evangelistic, and the division seems unreal, unnatural, untrue.
