Excerpt from the book: "Greater than that of any or all of these combined, is the purpose of him who goes to open paths of fresh conquest for the kingdom of Christ and to carry the message of salvation to nations that for ages have not felt the throb of spiritual life. A glance at the missionary field in Persia will give the reader an impression of its present prosperous condition. The work begun and for years successfully carried forward by the American Board, was in 1871 transferred to the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church. The missions of this Board in Persia now comprise five stations and several outstations."

Excerpt from Life of Rev. Justin Perkins, D.D: Pioneer Missionary to Persia The object of this volume is to reflect the character and work of my honored father, the late Rev. Justin Perkins, D. D., pioneer missionary to Persia. This work is attempted in response to the desire of many friends in the United States, as well as in Persia. Friends of missions in England, Germany and elsewhere will be glad to renew their memories of the subject of this biography. Not long ago the Jubilee of the mission to Persia was observed. While there is cause of rejoicing over present results, a tribute to the memory of the earliest member of that mission becomes the more appropriate. It is my hope that the following chapters will serve to increase interest in the cause of missions, and especially as carried forward in Persia, where thirty-seven years of an earnest life were consecrated to the Master's service.
