V-^ A MOST ATTRACTIVE AND ACCEPTABLE GIFT-BOOK ^ -1 FOR THE SEASON . . This Volume contains OVER ONE HUNDRED PORTRAITS and Biographic Sketches of noteworthy Christian men and women . In order to present a hundred personal histories in one Book , each narrative is necessarily compressed and brief : but it is hoped and believed that no salient feature of any Life has been overlooked or disregarded . It will be here seen how persons of various walks in life and of widely-differing conditions have been called to the service of the same Master , and the realisation of the same hope . Here are Christian men from the House of Peers : others from the ranks of shipownersmerchants , and manufacturers : and yet others from humbler walks of life . Of all 1 these it , may be truly said that , having themselves been made the recipients of Divine ( Jrace , they became the channels of that grace to others . The subjects of these Portraits ; md Biographies have been selected from various branches of the Christian Church . Over a score of those whose features and histories are here depicted have labouredor , are labouring , as Missionaries in the foreign field—in India ; in China ; in South Africa ; in New Guinea ; in Fiji ; in Arabia ; in Mexico ; in Brazil ; in Italy ; and in France . Place hsis been found for a few noble Christian women—the devoted wives of Missionaries ; and others who are highly esteemed for their work ' s sake . The perusal and contemplation of these personal records will , it is hoped , stimulate and encourage the lives of others . If the Book should prove the means of helping in the path <> f faithful service it will have done worthy work . London : MORGAN & SCOTT , 12 Paternoster Buildings , E .
