"FOREWORD - LIFE in China is often considered by many in the homeland as partly mysterious and partly dull. These brief sketches will effectually correct such ideas. They present a very true picture of the work of a missionary in the largely rural diocese of Kwangsi-Hunan, and as a colleague reads them it is almost with a feeling of envy of the writer's marked gift of picturesque yet true description. The young reader for whom they have been written may be reckoned fortunate in this opportunity of gaining a glimpse of the life of work, the joys and sorrows of one sent to help her Chinese sisters. There come many thrills as such a mission is fulfilled, but the greatest thrill of all is that of seeing the seeds of divine truth blossoming forth in lives changed and enriched, and I sincerely pray that the writer's purpose may be accomplished in attracting to this glad and thrilling service the younger helpers needed to ensure its continuance. JOHN HOLDEN, Bishop." Size: 12mo.
