China's Millions, 1886 (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from China's Millions, 1886 In 1865 there were but 97 Protestant Missionaries in China. In 1886, in connection with the china inland mission alone, there are I 52 Missionaries. The following table deserves careful study. It only refers to the provinces in China Proper, which in 1866 had no Protestant Missionary. If the history of missionary effort in China up to the present time were written, it would have no chapter of deeper interest than that which told of the pioneer work of the china inland mission in these eleven provinces.
