"To those who labor among the degraded population of our large cities is is encouraging to read the glorious results of the efforts of Christian people in the cities of other lands. To all such this volume will be of great interest. It contains and account of the labors of one of the most faithful home missionaries in the city of London, and was originally written in detached papers for different English periodicals. These sketches were afterward collected and published in book form. The work will also be found interesting to all who believe in the power of the word of God, since is shows how this word worked its way among the masses of sinful men and women, and proved itself to be to them 'the power of God unto salvation.'" - Preface.
