"They're a Multitoode" and Other Stories by F. C. Stephenson is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The title story revolves around themes of charity and foreign missions, highlighting the experiences of various characters, such as Christopher Morton, Jr., and Jim Perry, who engage in fundraising for missions to support those who live in darkness. The narratives draw upon the real-life challenges and insights of missionaries, offering reflections on faith, purpose, and the impact of their work. The opening of the collection introduces us to Christopher Morton, Jr., who is immersed in his business life, contemplating the meaning of his existence when an unexpected visit from his friend Jim Perry, a missionary recently returned from China, prompts deep reflection. Jim shares stories of his life among the Chinese, emphasizing the hardships faced by those in desperate spiritual need. Their conversation leads Chris to ponder the significance of his own life’s work and the contributions he could make towards the betterment of others through charitable actions. This sets the tone for the personal and broader themes that will unfold throughout the stories, exploring both the human drive for material success and the yearning for a meaningful legacy through benevolence and service.
