MISSION STUDY FOR 1917-18 
 
 THE SELECTION OF SUITABLE 
 TEXT-BOOKS 
 
 What Mission Study text-books should 
 be used in the next college year? 
 
 The importance of a careful choice of 
 courses is greater than at any time in the 
 past. 
 
 Missions has now been developed into 
 a science; the literature of the subject has 
 become very large; the text-books have 
 multiplied at a rate to be almost bewilder¬ 
 ing; the study of the subject in colleges, 
 universities, and theological seminaries is 
 not only being pursued with greater 
 thoroughness and a keener eye to its 
 practical issues, but has grown rapidly 
 in volume; and the number of-students 
 to be directed in their investigation of 
 missionary questions is now much larger 
 than in any previous year. For these 
 reasons among others great care should 
 be exercised in making the selection of 
 text-books. 
 
 The following general principles should 
 be observed in selecting text-books : 
 
 (1) No class should pursue a Mission 
 Study course without using a text-book. 
 A suitable text-book may be found on 
 each of the important missionary themes. 
 
 (2) Books should be chosen which 
 have been prepared for text-book pur¬ 
 poses. A large list suitable to use in 
 student classes is given on pages 12-14 of 
 this pamphlet. 
 
 (3) Courses of study should be pro¬ 
 gressive. A four years’ syllabus should 
 be followed, wherever possible. 
 
 (4) The study of foreign missions 
 should be pursued with relation to the 
 study of North American problems and 
 the study of the Bible. A four years’ 
 curriculum has been outlined having such 
 a correlation in view and known as “Col¬ 
 lege Voluntary Study Courses.” The 
 first semester courses in each year are 
 
 3 
 
devoted to Bible Study; those for the 
 second semester pertain to the study of 
 foreign missions and North American 
 problems. 
 
 Where this program of correlated study 
 is followed it is imperatively necessary 
 that the second semester courses should 
 start at the very beginning of the semester. 
 
 PROGRAM OF STUDY FOR 1917-1918 
 
 Of the text-books which are espe¬ 
 cially recommended for the year the 
 new ones are: Dr. Patton’s “The Lure 
 of Africa”; Professor Soper’s “Non- 
 Christian Religions of the World” 
 (ready in the fall); and Bishop Lam- 
 buth’s “Medical Missions” (ready in 
 December). 
 
 A MINIMUM PROGRAM 
 
 The minimum program of mission study 
 for 1917-1918 in each college should there¬ 
 fore consist of the following: 
 
 I. Christian Standards in Life. By J. 
 
 Lovell Murray and Frederick M. 
 Harris. Includes daily Bible read¬ 
 ings and topi(^ for discussion. 176 
 pages; price, cents. C* ® 
 Arranged for twelve studies. 
 
 No better approach to the whole subject of 
 foreign missions can be made than through con¬ 
 tact with some of the great spirits that during 
 the Christian centuries have flashed out as high 
 types of the heroic in missionary endeavor. 
 This subject can be made quite elementary and 
 at the same time it lends itself to the most pro¬ 
 found research. 
 
 This is the first missionary text-book in the 
 College Voluntary Study Series. It treats of 
 twelve great Christian leaders, six of them 
 foreign missionaries, and shows how their lives 
 illustrated outstanding principles of Christian 
 living. 
 
 II. A Challenge to Life Service. By 
 
 Frederick M. Harris and Joseph 
 C. Robbins. Includes daily Bible 
 readings and topics for discussion. 
 152 pages; price ’iSQs^cents. L ^ 
 Arranged for twelve studies. 
 
 4 
 
This book offers studies in certain important 
 aspects of the Kingdom of God, its ideals, scope, 
 privileges and obligations. It exalts the place 
 and duty of the individual citizen of the King¬ 
 dom. The relation of the Church to the King¬ 
 dom is emphasized and the sweep of the King¬ 
 dom’s interests is shown to be always world-wide. 
 
 III. Non-Christian Religions of the 
 World. By Edmund D. Soper (In 
 preparation.) Includes daily Bible 
 readings and topics for discussion. 
 Price 30 ^ cents. ^ 
 
 Arranged for twelve studies. 
 
 Every year witnesses a deeper interest in the 
 non-Christian religions of the world. They fur¬ 
 nish a study at once fascinating and highly re¬ 
 warding. This text-book presents a sympathetic 
 examination of the main elements in Hinduism, 
 Buddhism, Mohammedanism, Confucianism, Shin¬ 
 toism, Parseeism and Judaism and compares 
 their teachings with those of the Christian faith. 
 
 IV. Christianizing Community Life. 
 By Harry F. Ward and Richard 
 H. Edwards. Includes daily Bible 
 readings and topics for discussion. 
 176 pages; price, ^Q^ents.^ 
 
 Arranged for twelve studies. 
 
 No more fitting subject could conclude this 
 four years’ program of study than that of the 
 present-day problems of society in North Ameri¬ 
 ca and throughout the world and the solutions 
 which applied Christianity has to offer. This 
 text-book follows the student from college into 
 his community and shows him how as a Chris¬ 
 tian he can make his contribution to the social 
 betterment of his fellows. The problems of 
 community life in non-Christian lands as well 
 as those in North America are considered. 
 
 PARALLEL COURSES 
 
 The four courses above mentioned are 
 far from sufficient for the student who 
 wishes to be well informed as to the 
 world operations of Christianity. They 
 should furnish him with a right attitude 
 to the missionary program of the Church 
 and with an appetite for further investi¬ 
 gation. They are to be regarded merely 
 as a minimum requirement. In every 
 college these courses should be supple¬ 
 mented by others dealing with specifically 
 foreign missionary questions. For the 
 
 5 
 
year 1917-1918 the following are suggested 
 for special attention : 
 
 I. The Lure of Africa. By Cornelius 
 
 H. Patton. 224 pages; paper, 40 
 cents ; cloth, 60 cents. 
 
 Arranged for seven studies. 
 
 Suggestions to leaders, 10 cents. 
 
 This text-book, which is just off the press, is a 
 rich combination of information and interest. 
 The author is a careful student of African af¬ 
 fairs and has traveled widely in the Dark Con¬ 
 tinent. His racy, vivid account of present-day 
 conditions there is reliable and abounds in in¬ 
 cident. In the main, pagan Africa is treated, 
 but North Africa also comes in for notice. The 
 threatening advance of Islam is described, as are 
 also the rouarkable gains of Christianity. Africa 
 is being deeply affected by the War and chal¬ 
 lenges attention strongly at this time. 
 
 II. South American Neighbors. By 
 
 Homer C. Stuntz. 211 pages; pa¬ 
 per, 40 cents; cloth, 60 cents. 
 
 Arranged for eight studies. 
 
 Suggestions to leaders, 10 cents. 
 
 The latest text-book dealing with South Amer¬ 
 ica which now has an exceptional claim on the 
 attention of the Christians of the United States 
 and Canada. The pages reflect the spirit and de¬ 
 liberations of the recent Congress at Panama. 
 
 III. The Students of Asia. By G. 
 
 Sherwood Eddy. 209 pages ; paper, 
 35 cents; cloth, 50 cents. 
 
 Arranged for eight studies. 
 
 Suggestions to leaders free. 
 
 This book gives a vivid account of the condi¬ 
 tions affecting the college men and women of 
 Eastern lands, the educational systems of their 
 countries, their racial qualities, manner of life, 
 modes of thought, religious interests, moral 
 perils and the paths to power that open out be¬ 
 fore them as the future leaders of nations in 
 transition. Their present responsiveness to the 
 message of Christianity is graphically described. 
 
 IV. A choice of two courses is suggested 
 
 for the Senior year. 
 
 1. Medical Missions. By W. R. 
 Lambuth. (In preparation.) 
 
 Among the methods used for extending the 
 Kingdom of God in the non-Christian world 
 medical missions has been in many ways the 
 most effective. Besides giving physical relief to 
 individuals it opens the way for the preacher; 
 it produces a favorable attitude of mind; it gives 
 a practical expression of the spirit of Jesus; it 
 sets standards for the social errand of Christian 
 
 6 
 
missions; it is the Gospel in deed. This text¬ 
 book is being prepared for students by Bishop 
 Lambuth, an authority on the subject and a 
 former medical missionary. It is expected from 
 the press in December. 
 
 2. The Present World Situation. 
 By John R. Mott. 259 pages; 
 paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00. 
 Arranged for eight studies. 
 
 Suggestions to leaders free. 
 
 No more timely book could be offered for 
 study than this. Strictly speaking, it is the 
 present world situation as it affects the prob¬ 
 lem of world evangelization that is vinder dis¬ 
 cussion. It is “The Decisive Hour” up to 
 date, only treated along quite new lines. Broad 
 questions of statesmanship and strategy are 
 discussed as they relate not only to direct mis¬ 
 sionary operations, but also to the whole large 
 problem of Christianizing all the relations be¬ 
 tween nations. 
 
 Many other excellent Mission Study 
 text-books are available. See pages 12 to 
 
 14. 
 
 The Educational Secretaries of the Stu¬ 
 dent Volunteer Movement will gladly 
 give counsel in regard to the selection of 
 courses. 
 
 COURSES FOR THEOLOGICAL SEMINARIES 
 
 Among the best text-books for theo¬ 
 logical students are the following: 
 
 Barton. Educational Missions. 
 
 Beach. Renaissant Latin America. 
 Brown. Rising Churches in Non-Chris¬ 
 tian Lands. 
 
 Faunce. Social Aspects of Foreign 
 Missions. 
 
 Findings of the Continuation Commit¬ 
 tee Conferences in Asia, 1912-1913. 
 (Arranged by Topics with General 
 and Chapter introductions by Prof. 
 Harlan P. Beach.) 
 
 Mott. The Present World Situation. 
 Mott. The Pastor and Modern Missions. 
 Murray. The Apologetic of Modern 
 Missions. 
 
 Saunders. The Story of Buddhism. 
 Speer. The Light of the World. 
 
 Speer. South American Problems. 
 ZwEMER. The Unoccupied Mission Fields 
 of Africa and Asia. 
 
 ZwEMER. Islam: A Challenge to Faith.

DAILY BIBLE READINGS 
 
 It is of great importance that the study 
 of foreign missions should be integrated 
 into the correlated scheme for voluntary 
 religious study to which reference has 
 been made. Where this is done, the study 
 of foreign missions and of North Ameri¬ 
 can problems will have right of way in 
 the second half of the college year, and 
 many students entering Mission Study 
 classes will then cease to belong to Bible 
 Study classes. 
 
 It would be deplorable if these students 
 should give up their habit of daily de¬ 
 votional Bible Study. To stimulate and 
 direct this habit, two courses of daily 
 readings have been prepared, “The Chris¬ 
 tian Social Order,” and “The Missionary 
 Message of the Bible.” This feature 
 should be strongly emphasized through 
 the Mission Study classes. The price of 
 these readings is 5 cents when ordered 
 with a text-book, or 10 cents when or¬ 
 dered separately; 15 for $1.00, or 100 for 
 $5.00. 
 
 METHODS OF PROMOTION 
 
 Missionary committees will find in the 
 pamphlet “The Organization of Mission 
 Study Among Students,” price 5 cents, a 
 discussion of the methods of interesting 
 and organizing students in the study of 
 missions. A list of pamphlets for the 
 missionary committee is given on page 
 15 of this Prospectus. 
 
 Committees are earnestly requested to 
 keep the office of the Student Volunteer 
 Movement informed of their plans and 
 to honor promptly all requests for re¬ 
 ports, Methods that prove especially suc¬ 
 cessful in enlisting students in classes, 
 in maintaining the interest, or in direct¬ 
 ing it into channels of practical service 
 should be reported to the office. If diffi¬ 
 culties arise at any point in the campaign, 
 these also should be reported. The Edu¬ 
 cational Secretaries will be glad to give 
 any assistance in their power. 
 
 8 
 
HELPS FOR LEADERS OF CLASSES 
 
 Leaders of classes feel, or ought to 
 feel, the need of assistance. They should 
 study carefully two brief but most useful 
 pamphlets. Dr. Sailer’s “General Sugges¬ 
 tions for Leaders of Mission Study 
 Classes,” and Miss Day’s “Mission Study 
 Class Method” (price, 5 cents each). 
 Manley’s “Missionary Study Principles” 
 (price 50 cents) is a longer and more 
 thorough treatment of the subject. 
 
 In addition to these general helps, there 
 are separate pamphlets of “Suggestions 
 to Leaders” on some of the text-books 
 mentioned above and on almost all of 
 those in the longer list that follows. 
 
 The Educational Secretaries will glad¬ 
 ly correspond with leaders. 
 
 REFERENCE MATERIAL 
 
 It is important that for all the courses 
 being studied there should be available an 
 ample supply of reference material. 
 
 A carefully annotated list of mission¬ 
 ary books is contained in the “Selected 
 Bibliography of Missionary Literature,” 
 published by the Student Volunteer 
 Movement (price, 35 cents). 
 
 The following reference books are sug¬ 
 gested for use in connection with the 
 courses named above: 
 
 CHRISTIAN STANDARDS IN LIFE 
 
 The reference books should include extended 
 accounts of the lives to be studied, together with 
 standard books on the countries in which the 
 workers served. 
 
 A CHALLENGE TO LIFE SERVICE 
 
 Any reliable volumes dealing with present con¬ 
 ditions on the mission field, such as Mott’s “De¬ 
 cisive Hour of Christian Missions’) and “The 
 Present World Situation” and the biographies of 
 representative missionaries will be found help¬ 
 ful. On the general nature and development of 
 the foreign missionary enterprise three books 
 of special value are, Gulick’s “The Growth of 
 the Kingdom of God” ($1.50), Jones’ “The 
 Modern Missionary Challenge” ($1.50) and 
 Brown’s “The Foreign Missionary” (68 cents). 
 A further reference list will be found in an ap¬ 
 pendix to the text-book.
