Excerpt from India in Conflict It is no easy task to write a new book on missionary work in India. Mr. Holland and others have done it too well. The best lines of treatment have been anticipated by abler writers, and it seemed to us that it would be better resolutely to try and forget what others have said and attempt to start afresh. Then, India is so huge and varied that scarcely any statement can be made that does not need tiresome qualification. Very few, again, can claim an intimate acquaintance with more than one or two corners of the work, and the writers of this book are not of the few. Next, the work of the Free Churches and the Roman Church is much larger than our own in India, and the absence of any specific account of their splendid labours must not be taken to argue any lack of admiration, but is simply due to limitation of scope. Almost all general statements to be made inevitably include a reference to the labours of others. We would disarm at the outset certain lines of criticism by the clearest disclaimer of any attempt at completeness.
