Then we could see force at work
Then we could see forms of work
Then we could place the mission in a survey of the Country




CHAPTER X.

SURVEY OF THE WORK IN A PROVINCE.


The mission station is not an isolated unit
The relationship of station with station is recognised
So the relationship of all missions in a country is recognised
We can then consider the work of a mission station in relation to all
mission work done in the Province or Country
Considered in relation to the larger area, impressions produced by
the earlier tables may have to be revised
The first necessity is to gain a view of the whole work in the
Country
The difficulty presented by capitals and other large cities
I. The items proposed as necessary for such a general view--
(1) The work to be done; a bare quantitative expression in terms of
population, perhaps also in terms of cities, towns, and villages
unoccupied
This expression ought not to suggest that the work to be done is to
be done by the foreigners
(2) The Foreign Force at work in relation to the work to be done is
larger than that presented by returns from all mission stations
