Rev. DR.. Arthus r. Pierson gives the
following facts regarding the place which
woman is today occupying in mission
work in foreign lands:
One-third OF the unevangeliZed in the
world can best be reached by woman. and
a large part of them can be reached by
her only. as they are inaccessible to man.
Woman's work for woman no human
gauge can measure. She goes abroad as
teacher. nurse and medical missionary.

Today more than one-third of the en-

of women.

But today all foreign countries open their
