"American Missionary - Vol. 34, No. 09, September 1880" is at once a part of the life of the history of the United States in the 19th century and a window into the religious, educational and social development of that time. This publication collects a variety of articles on American missionary activity, their efforts to spread Christianity and education among Native Americans, African Americans, and immigrants. Each issue of this edition is a kind of mosaic of the country's religious and public life at the end of the 19th century. "American Missionary" is not only a source of historical facts, but also a testimony of the faith, perseverance and humanitarian values that generations of missionaries carried with them into the world to help and inspire others.
