Maryknoll Mission Letters China PDF Download

Excerpt from Maryknoll Mission Letters, China, Vol. 1: Extracts From the Letters and Diaries of the Pioneer Missioners of the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America The story told in the following pages is of unusual interest to me, since it has been my privilege, as Apostolic Delegate to Japan, to come into close contact with Catholic mission life in the Far East. With many, too, in Europe, as well as on the mission field itself, I have watched with ever in creasing satisfaction the development in this country of the mission spirit, which is so signally exemplified by the work of the American Foreign Missions of Maryknoll. Letters from the Maryknoll Missions have given to the bishops and priests of the United States, as well as to its laity, a picture of mission life which should redound to a marked increase of interest and zeal in this holy work. I believe that the printed record of these letters will do in calculable good, not only for the cause of missions, in which our Holy Father and all Catholics worthy of the name are interested, but also because mission activities notably react in blessings to the home land. I heartily welcome the appearance of this book and wish it Godspeed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
