Excerpt from The Parochial Mission: A Handbook for the Use of Incumbents and Missioners The following pages have been written by one who has had a wide and varied experience in conducting Missions, and whose work has been greatly blessed by the Holy Ghost. He speaks, therefore, with authority, and everyone may profit by his words. That such a Handbook was urgently needed, I know. Again and again I have been asked to recommend some Manual to guide both Missioners and Parochial Clergy in the methods of a Mission, and I am very glad the Author has yielded to the request that he should write one. In commending it to the Church, no one will suppose that any two men can on all points agree. Many men many minds, and many minds many methods. In some details my experience varies somewhat from the Authors, and here and there, I would probably have stated things differently, but with the main principles of the Manual I am in entire agreement. It combines sanctified common sense with an enriched spiritual experience, and will be found invaluable alike in what it expresses and in what it suggests. Some there are who think that the day of Parochial Missions has passed. My conviction is the reverse of this. In the first place, there are "some" who are primarily "Evangelists" - men who possess, in a preeminent degree, the power to arouse the careless, restore the fallen, and convince the wavering. While in a degree all "Pastors and Teachers" ought also to be "Evangelists, " yet the Church, I am certain, cannot utilize to the full the manifold gifts of the Spirit without such an interchange of ministers as a Mission involves.
