Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1912-02-17

books for the study of missions
brought out by the CENTRAL COMMITTEE
of the UNITED STUDY of MISSIONS ana
has proven by far the most popular
of the whole series.
Being as it is a history OF the
first half century of Organized
Womans Work, it was the instiga'
ton of the wonderful Jubilee Cam
paign that swept our country from
East to West and thru our South
land anC as far as Texas during
the last year and a half. The rich
harvest from the Jubilees will not
be measured alone by the increased
money contributions great as these
were, but the inspiration that has
come to the workers from personal
contact with those from the field,
and the fellowship that comes with
knowledge of a common interest IN
winning to the world for Christ and
His Kingdom, can only be measur
ed in eternity.
If the author had done nothing
more than give the inspiration for
this Jubilee celebration it were well
worth her greatest efforts, but every
individual VINO reads the book IS
irresitably drawn to the cause she
so attractively presents.
The first chapter gives us a few
pictures Of our American women
at the beginning OF the nineteenth
century, their edncation and legal
statues, Gods providentiaI prepara-
ton of women for work in world
wide missions, and their early re-
Spouse to the call. How against
opposition, prejudice and ignorance
they struggled so heroically to lay
the foundations for or great mis-
sionary policy.
The strenth of the appeal from
the women of the Orient is revealed
in a portrayal of their wrongs based
as they are on the Fundamental
teachings of the religions which al
ways plan LADIES LAST"
The other four chapters are de-
voted to the plans and methods by
which the mission work is extended
with some brief sketches Of the
women behind the work, small
wonder is there in our heart that
Cod has so prospered the work OF
their hands when we get these fiut-
Ing glimpses into this hall of fame
that pictures few of the lives that
have been placed so Internationally
on the Altar of Sacrifice.
The last two chapters deal more
especially with the out come OF all
this effort and sacriice-the new
woman" of the Orient, as she is
being freed from the bondage of
thousands Of years Of mental and
spiritual darkness.
The problems" confronting the
present day conditions and suggest
ed policies" to persue, close the
last chapter Of this interesting
book
Mrs Helen Barrett Montgomery
is a woman of broad culture, keen
intellect and with it all, cOnsecrated
practical common sense. She re-
alizes that unless information be-
gets inspiration it its real value is
lost, hence she presents FACTS in
such an attractive manner tn at
any sincere christian, after reading
her book will of necessity feel a
larger responsibility in carrying out
Christ's mission-"As my father
hath sent me, even so send | you.
1t is to be hoped every earnest Wom-
an in our several churches will avail
herself of this privilege OF study
| ing how God has useed and can
use American Womanhood for a
blessing to her own and heather
lands when she is willing to be used
for His glory.
