Excerpt from In the Valley of the Nile a Survey of the Missionary, Movement in Egypt, 1908AN invitation to deliver the Students' Lectures on Missions at the Princeton Theological Semi nary afforded the opportunity and the special oc casion for gathering together the material to be found in this book. These lectures are published with the conviction that there is a need for a volume which will present, in outline at least, the story of Christian missionary effort in the Valley of the Nile.It is estimated that some twelve thousand Eng lish-speaking tourists visit Egypt every year. A large proportion of these are deeply interested in the progress of Christianity throughout the world. To these we may add a much larger num ber of men and women of Great Britain and America who have become deeply interested in this historic and Bible land through an acquaint ance with it more or less direct. It is strange that, apart from denominational publications which necessarily fail to reach the general travel ling and reading public, there is barely a book which undertakes to portray religious conditions and to tell the story of modern missions in the Nile Valley.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
