Excerpt from Christian Missions in Burma
However, at last, we have this much-needed book, itself a sign of improvement. For Mr. Purser is one of a band of missionaries who went out between the years 1903 and 1907, and filled long-standing gaps and raised from twelve to fifteen the number of our ordained English missionaries in that land of some ten million inhabitants.
We have in it a summary view of the country, its history and races of the work of other Christians whose zeal and devotion ought greatly to shame and stimulate ourselves and of the work which the tiny regiment of our Church's army is doing there in obedience to the Master.
