Foreword by Dr. Thomas Cochrane
Foreword
This book has been compiled from articles contributed to World Dominion from time to time by my beloved and lamented friend William Kendall Gale. He and I had many talks together, and much correspondence, on missionary principles.
We of the World Dominion Movement are in touch with an ever-increasing number of missionaries in many parts of the world, who stand for missionary methods which we have advocated for many years, viz., widespread evangelism, with a view to the formation of indigenous churches which, from their inception, shall be self-governing, self-propagating and self-supporting, and which shall undertake the task of the continuous evangelization of their own neighbourhood. William Kendall Gale was one of the best advocates, by pen and in practice, of these methods. In him the London Missionary Society, with which I am proud to have been associated, has the honour of adding to its heroic roll one of the greatest missionaries of modern times.
His was truly an apostolic ministry. He founded over two hundred Christian churches in Madagascar. If every missionary could have the success which Kendall Gale achieved, the world’s mission fields would soon have enough indigenous churches to inaugurate the post-missionary era.
