About This Book

A collection of firsthand accounts and reflections on evangelical outreach among London's poorest, presenting methods, anecdotes, and practical arguments for sustained missionary effort. It describes visits into squalid courts, individual house-to-house work, cottage lectures, mission rooms, and the use of Bible-women and trained local agents, and argues that steady personal labor matters more than multiplying churches. The narrative combines descriptive reporting of labors and results with strategic counsel on recruiting, supporting, and deploying workers drawn from humble backgrounds, urging long-term financial and moral backing to effect social and spiritual improvement.
