Regions Beyond/Horizons
Issues of the missions magazine or journal usually published quarterly or bi-monthly. In 1884 it was published as The Regions Beyond and Illustrated Missionary News, from 1888 it absorbed F B Meyers Worship and Work. During the two world wars it sometimes appeared as a Newsletter, for a time after the Second World War it included a special Australian section, and from 1981 it was called Horizons. Early volumes refer to news of Harley students and RBMU missionaries but also to the work of other missions, particularly in Africa including the Sudan, and in China; later volumes concentrate on RBMU work with lists of missionaries in each field; volumes sometimes contain accounts and annual reports; most issues contain high quality maps, engravings (early issues) and photographs and frequently sections for children; sometimes special issues were produced to commemorate deaths or anniversaries or concentrated on particular mission fields; volumes until the 1930s were usually indexed.
