Published by The American Presbyterian Mission

Printed at The Commercial Press, Ltd., Shanghai, 1919

 

Scarce missionary publication documenting the geography, culture, and evangelical efforts on the Island of Hainan in South China. Issued by the American Presbyterian Mission, this booklet offers firsthand sketches and observations intended to inform and inspire missionary supporters. Stamped “Permanent File" and “Filing Dept. – Aug 16, 1965," suggesting institutional provenance, likely from a mission board or church archive.

Condition
