Excerpt from Gleanings From Many Fields Any and varied are the fields from which these gleanings are taken. But with few exceptions they are all fields in which the London Missionary Society works. For one hundred years its missionaries have sowed and planted in different lands; and have also been permitted in some measure to reap and bind into sheaves. And now gleaners have been at work, and selecting here a stalk and there a stalk, they have twisted them together into this little sheaf, which they offer to any who may be interested in bringing about the great Harvest of that Field which is the World.
