_"We Christians have a great and imposing war office, but a very small army. While vast continents are shrouded in almost utter darkness and hundreds of millions suffer the horrors of heathenism and Islam, the burden of proof lies upon you to show that the circumstances in which God has placed you, were meant by Him to keep you out of the foreign mission field."_
_Before you lay aside this book, will you not ask yourself why you should not go out to Arabia, or to some other land yet shrouded in darkness, and shine for Jesus?_
Seyyidi-'l-Fadi-'l Gani, Our Lord, the rich Saviour, Kalbehoo yuhibbooni, His heart loves me, Fa lahoo kooloo saghier. And to Him all little ones belong. Yaltajee wahoo'l kadeer. He protects us and is strong.
Kad faaka hubban. Yes His love exceeds all. Kad faaka hubban. Yes His love exceeds all. Kad faaka hubban. Yes His love exceeds all. Yuhibbuna Yasooa. Jesus loves you.

"As full of sweets as a Canton jar of sugared ginger. It is perfectly delightful to look at, for without, and within on every page, are rolling, tumbling, playing Chinese little folks. This book ought to do a great deal toward awakening sympathy and affection for the East."--_S.S. Times_.

"'Chinese Mother Goose' opened a large window through which we may see much that has been hidden. Now comes the 'Chinese Boy and Girl,' with another revelation, which is even more an introduction to the nursery, the school-room, the play ground. It is a cheery picture that it gives of the little folk of that empire, and cannot fail to make their far-away mates think more kindly of them. The hundred or more illustrations from photographs specially selected by Professor Headland, rival the artistic excellence of his earlier book."--_Worcester Spy_.
"There was no need to invent conditions or imagine situations. The life of any lad of Billy Topsail's years up there is sufficiently romantic. It is this skill in the portrayal of actual conditions that lie ready to the hand of the intelligent observer that makes Mr. Duncan's Newfoundland stories so noteworthy. 'The Adventures of Billy Topsail' is a wonderful book."--_Brooklyn Eagle._
