It is a hazardous task to print 
 a list of this character and label 
 it “100 Most Popular Missionary

 chosen, age, temperament, and 
 interest in missions, are all vital 
 factors in the selection. These 
 recommendations represent the 
 combined judgment of a dozen 
 persons who are familiar with 
 the best missionary literature. 
 The books may be purchased 
 at the sales table in the Ex¬ 
 position.
