I saw them at work from the Punjab Frontier, where a high administrator declared Dr. Fennel&#8217;s influence with the wild border tribes to be worth a regiment of soldiers to the Government, to Assam, where a Mission Doctor had built, largely at his own expense, a Hospital second to none in the province. Therefore I welcome Dr. Fletcher Moorshead&#8217;s book describing the principles, methods of work and training of Medical Missionaries, which will bring the value and necessity of such work before a large public who only need to be informed of the intensely interesting and invaluable labours of Medical Missions in many parts of the world to be induced to lend far greater moral and material support to this great civilising and educative movement. <strong>[<a href=\"https:\/\/missiology.org.uk\/pdf\/e-books\/moorshead-r-f\/way-of-the-doctor_moorshead.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Continue reading<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>R.
