Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from England and the Orient, or Scenes, Incidents, and Work, During an Evangelistic Tour Round the World for the Promotion of Christian Holiness
The company were entertained in New York at the hospitable home of Hon. Chauncey Shaffer, during the days that intervened between Tuesday and Saturday, while completing arrangements for their long absence.
A daily record was kept by one of the party for future reference, and not designed for publication; but, since our return, many friends in England and in this country have expressed the desire that it be made public. Though sightseeing did not enter even remotely into the object of the tour, it was impossible to go so far and Visit so many places without seeing much that would be of interest to the general reader, and especially so to the friends of holiness who gave their money toward the expenses and sustained the mission by their prayers.
This diary, in its present form, is given with the hope that it may stimulate to Christian activity, strengthen faith in the Providence of God, and in his power to save from all sin, and that it may deepen the interest in mission work in foreign lands.
