A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Ten years have passed since the organization of the Central Committee on the United Study of Missions in connection with the Ecumenical Conference held in New York, May, 1900. Ten study books have been published through the Macmillan Company, and about seven hundred thousand copies have been sold through Women's Boards of Missions. The last volume, "Western Women in Eastern Lands," by Helen Barrett Montgomery, has reached sales of nearly one hundred thousand, and marks not only the completion of ten years of study but the fiftieth anniversary of the organization of Women's Foreign Missionary Boards in the United States. It has led to the celebration of the Jubilee of Missions.

Our book for the coming year, "The Light of the World," is published by the Central Committee. Its author is Mr. Robert E. Speer, who deals in an attractive and sympathetic way with the great religions of the world. No one is better fitted for the task, and Mr. Speer has in these six chapters presented fairly these Eastern faiths and shown clearly their inadequacy to human need. The testimony of eminent men who have come out from these religions into the true Light cannot be disputed or discounted.

The presence in our own country of certain men and women who are giving incomplete and incorrect statements of non-Christian faiths, which are sometimes accepted by American women, makes this volume especially valuable at this time.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
