fluid, and identifications of locations, which often underwent many name changes, and even g eograph ica l shifts.

Disappointments were frequent. But, one by one, trophies of grace were captured. A good deal of cultural data and de scriptive material are included in the story, being shared by a number of missionaries in the writing of the book.—256 pages; cloth; Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids; $4.95.
