| The Heroic In Missions: Pioneers In Six Fields is a book written by Augustus Robert Buckland and published in 1894. The book is a collection of biographies of six Christian missionaries who were considered pioneers in their respective fields. These fields include Africa, China, India, Madagascar, the Pacific Islands, and South America. The book provides a detailed account of the lives and work of these missionaries, highlighting their struggles, achievements, and sacrifices. Buckland portrays these individuals as heroes who dedicated their lives to spreading the gospel and improving the lives of the people they served. The first section of the book focuses on African missionaries, including David Livingstone, who explored and mapped much of the continent, and Mary Slessor, who worked to end the practice of killing twins in Nigeria. The second section features missionaries in China, such as Robert Morrison, the first Protestant missionary to China, and Hudson Taylor, who founded the China Inland Mission. The third section covers India, with biographies of William Carey, who translated the Bible into many Indian languages, and Amy Carmichael, who worked to rescue young girls from temple prostitution. The fourth section is dedicated to Madagascar, featuring James Cameron, who established the first Christian mission on the island, and William Ellis, who translated the Bible into Malagasy. The fifth section focuses on the Pacific Islands, with biographies of John Williams, who established many missions in the region, and John Paton, who worked to bring Christianity to the cannibalistic tribes of the New Hebrides. The final section covers South America and includes the story of Allen Gardiner, who died of starvation while attempting to establish a mission in Tierra del Fuego.Overall, The Heroic In Missions: Pioneers In Six Fields is a tribute to the bravery and dedication of these early Christian missionaries who played a significant role in spreading Christianity and improving the lives of people around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
