    , , , ! was in the early spring that the first instalment of Mr . Paton's autobiography appeared , and it quickly passed into several editions . It is not too much to say that it is the most thrilling

    and fascinating chapter in missionary history which has appeared during the last quarter of a century . Mr . Paton is a man of simple Tmt heroic character , and he tells the record of his

    life ' s labours with a modest impressiveness and realistic vigour which lifts the book into the front rank of missionary classics . This volume is quite as interesting as its predecessor , and

    the adventures which it contains are of a character which it would be difficult to surpass , even in the realm of fiction . The charm of the bookhoweverlies in its reverent faith in God and
