Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society, Vol. 5 of 5
This volume describes the work of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society in Ceylon, India, and China. With its publication the Centenary History of that Society comes to its close.
I would now acknowledge the help so freely and generously given to me in the course of its compilation. So many have assisted and encouraged me in different ways that a full enumeration would crowd this page with names. Special mention, however, must be made of the officers of the Society and of the Rev. W. H. Thorp and of Messrs. E. E. Genner and G. Vanner Rowe, who have read different volumes in proof. From Miss Findlay I have received dossiers and other compilations which have greatly lightened my labour. With out these documents it would have been impossible to complete the work within the time. The Chronological Table is the work of Miss A. B. Cooke, my greatly esteemed colleague in the Mysore District.
In view of the rapidly changing life of the East I have thought it desirable to supplement what I have written by special chapters on the Christian Church in China and India. These have been contributed respectively by the Revs. H. B. Ratten bury and E. W. Thompson. The chapter on the Ceylonese Ministry is the work of the Revs. E. Middleton Weaver and W. J. Noble.
