China will perhaps enhance its interest for the general reader, and make clear some of the personal allusions, which could not be well omitted without breaking the continuity of the letters. The letters themselves are published in the hope, and with the earnest prayer, in which it is certain the writer would (and perchance does) join, that their perusal may stir up still greater zeal in hastening forward the King sbusiness in the land of Sinim, which recent events and not least amongst them the martyrdoms at Ku-cheng will assuredly open up to the Divine Enterprise of Missions ;and lead many to adopt what she found to be the happiest of all lives: to give up home for His sake, in order to go and tell the love of Jesus to those who have never heard. Elsie Marshall was bom on November 9, 1869, at Birchfield, near Birmingham, of which parish her father, the Rev. J. W. Marshall, was the vicar.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book compiles letters sent home by a young woman who travelled to China in the 19th century as a Christian missionary. Living and working in coastal China, her letters describe her journey from ignorance of local customs and language, to fluency, and deep friendship with groups of Chinese women she worked with. Thoughtfully collected together, this series of letters contains keen observations about Chinese culture, local religions, and an evolving understanding of her own faith. However, the book is more than just a travelogue. It is a rich source of personal reflection and growth, as the author comes to terms with the social and economic disparities she witnesses. Letters from a young and determined woman, this book illuminates the nature of faith and the importance of international service. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
