Excerpt from The China Mission Year Book, 1925
In presenting to the readers the 1925 edition of the China Mission Year Book the editor wishes in the first place to express his appreciation of the willing collaboration by the writers of the many valuable articles herein contained. The task of an editor is, in such a case as this, a somewhat thankless one. Contributions have been sought from many busy people. None have received any remuneration for their work. Some have been pressed to write against time. In a number of cases a good deal of preliminary work has been involved in addition to the actual preparation of the article. Readers and editor alike owe a big debt of gratitude to these writers, a debt which will become increasingly apparent as the volume is carefully studied.
Their thanks are also due to those who have assisted behind the scenes in various way, among whom the editor wishes especially to refer to Mrs. Gilliland who has read all the proof and prepared the index and without whose help the work could never have been completed.
The National Christian Council, under whose auspices the China mission Year Book is produced, does not of course accept responsibility for the views of individual writers. In dealing with such topics as the political situation of the state of the church it is inevitable that personal bias enters in. Each writer is left perfectly free to express his own views in his own way.
A few writers have been unable to produce the articles asked for and in some cases promised. This means that the plan of the Year Book as originally conceived has not been fully carried out. The editor has been under the necessity of filling in one or two gaps himself. Such as remain will probably not be apparent to the reader. The excellence of the material which is presented will, it is hoped, compensate for any omissions.
