The facts these records will yield about the Christian church abroad, Chinese village life, schools, officials, famines, literature, local prices, and methods of conversion, ensures that this guide will be not only of use to social scientists and scholars of the humanities working in the field of China, but also to ecclesiastical historians and those interested in the general subjects of Christian missions and church records."
