"During the closing decades of the nineteenth century, approximately two dozen Protestant mission societies, which since 1812 had been sending Americans abroad to evangelize non-Christians, coordinated their enterprise and expanded their operations with unprecedented urgency and efficiency. Ambitious innovations characterized the work in traditional and new foreign mission fields, but the most radical changes occurred in the institutionalization of what contemporaries referred to as the home base of the mission movement. Valentin Rabe focuses on the recruitment of personnel, fundraising, administration, promotional propaganda, and other logistical problems faced by the agencies in the United States. When generalizations concerning the American base require demonstration or references to the field of operations, China—the country in which American missionaries applied the greatest proportion of the movement’s resources by the 1920s—is used as the primary illustration."

Excerpt from World Missions From the Home Base: A Group of Addresses and Papers There is much repetition in this little book, - not so much of language, but there is iteration and re iteration of certain ideas. I believe they are worth reiterating. Small as the book is none will care to take it at a sitting. The style of platform address is retained in the addresses. Those who find that style unsatisfactory for reading may be more nearly satis fied with the papers at the close. The volume is a companion to Missions Striking Home, in which emphasis is laid upon similar and collateral ideas, set forth after a similar manner. Though the sections of the book are disjointed, the title serves more or less vitally to relate the parts.
