The Story of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 1869-1895 is a historical account of the development and growth of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society within the Methodist Episcopal Church during the late 19th century. Written by Frances J. Baker and originally published in 1898, the book provides a detailed overview of the society's formation, its early struggles and successes, and its efforts to spread Christianity and improve the lives of women and children in foreign countries.The book begins with a brief history of the Methodist Episcopal Church and its missionary work, before delving into the formation of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society in 1869. Baker describes the early challenges faced by the society, including opposition from some male members of the church who believed that women should not be involved in missionary work. Despite these obstacles, the society persevered and grew rapidly, establishing missions in countries such as India, China, Japan, and Africa.Throughout the book, Baker provides numerous examples of the society's work, including the establishment of schools and hospitals, the distribution of literature and religious materials, and the training of local women to become teachers and missionaries. She also highlights the contributions of key figures within the society, such as Bishop William Taylor and missionary Isabella Thoburn.Overall, The Story of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 1869-1895 is a fascinating look at the history of one of the most important women's organizations within the Methodist Church. It provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by women in the late 19th century, as well as the ways in which they were able to overcome these obstacles and make a significant impact on the world around them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
