A would-be humourist once defined history as “the consolidation of doubtful legend into undisputed fact”. This is perhaps hardly applicable to the present case; the author enjoys the advantage of having been closely connected with the events he relates insofar as the latter seventy years of the story are concerned, and for the earlier thirty-five, possession of records supplemented by notes of reminiscences related to him in bygone years by early stalwarts who have long since departed this earthly scene. So there emerges the history of a fellowship which conducted a remarkable Christian work during the early years of this century, survived the sad interlude which imperilled its future, and rose above the threat to continue its witness, albeit in lower key, into the present. This is the story, so far as the United Kingdom is concerned, of the “Harvest of the Age”.
