Eugene Stock

Eugene Stock (1836–1928), was an English author, historian, journal editor and senior editorial secretary at the Church Missionary Society in London. Widely regarded as an authority among his contemporaries, Stock is best known for his four-volume work, ''The History of the Church Missionary Society '', published in 1899, which is considered the most thorough account on the history of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) and the many missions it had reign over. Because of his extensive knowledge of CMS history, Stock became the senior secretary of the society. He also lectured to women at missionary meeting places in London, and promoted the idea of recruiting women for missionary service. Provided by Wikipedia
