Excerpt from O Mura San, With a Glimpse of the Country in Which She Lived
The life whose story is briefly told in the following pages seems. To the writer, to have been too rare to be left to oblivion. This simple narrative of facts is written with the double hope that it may encourage others even in Christian lands to a greater zeal, and that it may be the means of awakening a deeper interest in Japan and the work of bringing that great nation into the Kingdom.
